If I start the thread before kick-off, maybe there will be more than two of us commenting on the game as it happens this time!

The morning after, am still disappointed in the defensive error/s that sunk Australia. It was down to the tactical pressure from England that worked to a tee. No matter what Wiegman said about England not being the favourites, Oz needed to play a flawless game to get past the Lionesses, and they didn't. I have both a British and Australian passport, so technically I have a team in both remaining games… but I would have preferred it the other way round.

Even though I only watched Spain's semi win and saw a couple of England games in the tournament. I would rank England and strong favourites for the Final. If Australia can pick themselves up, they can get a result against Sweden but I don't think it will be a walkover.

It's been a fun ride.
