Didn't initially celebrate as wasn't sure if Hemp had pushed one of the defenders but Woohoo - ahead again! Still a long way to go though - and especially with Kerr on the pitch
An unchanged side for England, and Kerr starts for Australia - neither are a surprise.
Getting quite nervous now - and I'm only watching! Can't even imagine how the players are feeling. Hope its a good match, and we win!!
Was definitely a stressful watch at times - so glad we equalised just before half time even if it was a very scrappy goal. Missed England going ahead as they switched to the Premier League match in Dicks at the crucial time - thank goodness for replays when they switched it back after the...
I agree, I was expecting a three game ban even though she didn't stamp with force she did deliberately step on her opponent.
France have been on top, but Australia just had the best chance. Brilliant stop by the defender!
Looking ahead to Englands quarterfinal, its 11.30am on Saturday. I've emailed the club to ask them if Dicks bar will be open and showing the game as if it goes to ET (and even pens) again it would make it tight to get to the Amex for the Luton kickoff and I don't want to miss either! 🤞
Well we're through to the quarterfinals but I have to say that we don't really deserve it until the penalties when we just handled the pressure a bit better. Nigeria, you have done Africa proud today!
PHEW!
Nigeria have not let us settle at all and have looked the better side. James sending off has just made it even harder - dont care how frustrating she'd found things theres no excuse for that. 30 mins of extra time is going to be so nervewracking! Can we do it????
Obviously would've loved to have a penalty there, but if it had been against us I would've been disappointed. Thought Daly made a bit much of it. England definitely under the cosh at the back! 😱
Nigeria have nothing to lose and are definitely not looking overawed by facing England and giving us some problems. If the team didn't know that they needed to be at their best, they do now. Need to do better keeping the ball and not giving it away cheaply
Job done for England in style with some good goals, and we've played better in this game on the whole than the previous games. They top the group and will face surprise opponents Nigeria in the knockout stages.
