Good for Vietnam not being a pushover. If they had any kind of attack this would be a banger.

Can’t wait to see my Lionesses in the middle of the night. Go to sleep or stay up?

Tons of possession, physical play, and only a retaken pen to show for it. Must be England.

Sleep schedule already ruined by the footy but there’s some tasty matchups today.

Warren Barton does love to hear himself talk.

21 goals in 12 matches and 11 belong to Japan, USA, and Spain. Not much fun.

Always sad to see a player get that badly hurt, especially early in a tournament. I hope the recovery isn’t too difficult.

Goodness me

Feels less like the USA are going to find a winner and more like they’re going to surrender a late goal. Dire.

Up the Lionesses. Down with sleep.

Bronze is going to go ballistic at the end of this one

Feel bad for the keeper. Can’t do much about Lauren James but to let yourself get embarrassed like that…

Very nice couple of tournaments for the Moroccans.

Well I wasn’t their biggest fan going into the tournament because I wanted more parity in the game but it appears that we are getting that, so let’s go the Yanks baby

That would have been a true softie of a pen, but I'd have taken it.

Yeah - maybe the ref knew she’d catch hell if the game was decided by that.

1 goal in 5 hours of play - unbelievable.

Those were proper penalties though. Hit it as hard as you can. No faffing about getting cutesy like the men do.

Hope Sarina doesn’t pull a Southgate and send on cold subs.

Penalties. Why did it have to be penalties.

The kind of mental fortitude you have to have as an athlete to laugh at yourself - incredible. Though I suppose if your job is literally fighting cancer, sports are somewhat put in perspective.

Whatever VAR says, that was a good attack from Sweden if they’d just stuck with it instead of running around appealing for handball.

Guzman is out for blood.

Can’t complain about two more games! Still fancy whoever comes out of Spain-Sweden though.

Man I’ll be disappointed if England doesn’t make it to the final but it would be better to lose to Australia, rivalry and all, than the Germans, the Yanks, etc.

Spain’ll be dangerous for this England side I think. Fortunate to beat them last summer.

Yarp. Not talking about margins if that peno isn’t saved. They were quality.
