Tess - what iconic pictures from last night and what a sweet and polite little girl.

So pleased she's going to Wembley!!! Our lucky mascot.

Tonight is the night... pretty excited.

A lot of secrecy around the Swedish team, not completely clear if the three Covid girls could play, if team captain Caroline Seger has returned from injury and if Kosovare Asllani is able to play as she's missed some training sessions. If all those are missing, it will be very difficult. But yeah I hope we beat the shit out of you... my bet is that it goes to penalties and from there we all know there is only one outcome.

Harsh yellow card.

I'm enjoying the game, but that was the best part of the evening.

Wendy Renard has to be in the team of the tournament. What a danger at corners and free-kicks while defending brilliantly for France.

And yet , as was pointed out at half time , she was at fault for the first goal . Shows everybody makes mistakes even the best .

 

[Durlston]

Another for Popp.

Bloody Germans back in front.

 

[Durlston]

I would really rather we played the French in the final. They're more exciting but live on their nerves.
They've given so much to this tournament.

And another defensive error by the French . After some desperate defending the ball went out to a German player who miscontroled it ,drifting out to the sideline . The french defender coming out to her just slowed down giving the attacker ample opportunity to put in a decisive cross .

 

[Eeyore]

Good to see the Germans actually concede a tournament goal.

They've won six of the last seven tournaments.

Tough match Sunday.

 

[StonehamPark]

Orange card that. Horrible challenge.

 

[Durlston]

It doesn't get any bigger. What a final.

ENGLAND VS GERMANY. At Wembley stadium.

Gutted for France. They made two terrible defensive errors but they can be proud of their tournament as a whole. First ever semi-final.

With Spain's Putellas and Hermoso out of the tournament, I think England will be too strong tonight.

They'll then win their Semi-Final against Sweden before beating Germany in the Final.

Nothing wrong with a positive outlook, eh?

7 days ago.

2 down, 1 to go.

Ok mute until Fara Williams disappears

Are you kidding? She is the most knowledgeable, smart pundit of the lot, not just shouting about wow how brilliant is everything, actual analysis of the game.

I’m on my way back home after this evening’s game. My first live experience of women’s football and what a great advert for the game it was. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to end, the game was entertaining, some of the players very skilful and it was so refreshing to see the players not remonstrating with the ref at every decision.

My enjoyment was probably helped by there being no personal jeopardy in the game. Oh and also the lovely Alex Scott (and the rest of the BBC) team being just behind us!

 

[Gwylan]

I enjoyed that match tonight but couldn't Jonathan Pearce stop going on about Oberdorf? That man's heading for some wet dream tonight (and I thought Popp was player of the match, anyway)

I've said Germany v England final from the outset - it wasn't difficult, they were the favourites in the betting. It's going to be a hard one to call but I think we can just edge this.

Never in doubt.
