England Women: The Lionesses

[SanFranWolf]

Best player on the park tonight Fran Kirby

 

[LythamWolf]

What a fantastic team performance.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Credit where it’s due.

 

[Timberwolf]

I think this is the worst keeper performance I’ve seen for a good age. Sweden haven’t been great at the back anyway but crikey, having a keeper as bad as that behind them, I can understand their jitters.

 

[JadeWolf]

Sweden have completely gone.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Enjoyable match to watch.
I thought that Spain had it but nuff respect for that England comeback.
Has to be some fighting words added..you´ll probably meet us(Sweden)in the semifinal..and Englands journey in this tourney will end there.I do think we are a notch up compared to Spain,and England should suit us pretty well.
Those who survives til then will see I recon

Zlatan Ibrahimović, Ingrid Bergman, Avicii, Alfred Nobel, Greta Thunberg, Ingvar Kamprad, Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha, Anni-Frid, Magdalena “Magda” Forsberg, Sven-Göran Eriksson... Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Your girls took one hell of a beating, one hell of a beating!

Best wishes

(...and yes, I know it was a Norwegian commentator who originally did that!)

 

[Streathamwolf]

We're on our way to Wembley!

I'd say Hemp.

 

[JonahWolf]

Sack off the waistcoat and get Weigman in.

Certainly since the quarter finals.

Said the same

Far more accomplished manager by any measure tbh.

Worst since Roger Hansbury

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

Worst since Roger Hansbury

The Villarreal keeper vs Liverpool is still one I find unimaginably bad

 

[tamwolf]

Our women know how to handle a semi.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

100% commitment tonight by them all, no nasty fouls, no play acting, just thoroughly enjoyable, would love to go to Wembley on Sunday

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

What a goal that would have been. Our wide players are so good.

 

[stever]

Lauren Hemp is my player of the match

 

[wolvesaywe]

By any measure that was a cracking game of football

Well done ladies. Now finish the job

 

[JadeWolf]

The difference between the goalkeepers was massive.

 

[thommo1984]

Such a refreshing watch compared to the mess that the men's game has become

She’s a weird one. Far too many wayward/sloppy passes, sometimes looks like she’s running through treacle….but in terms of close control, body strength and position, appreciation of space and vision, miles ahead of the majority out there.
Excellent football brain.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

At last the Arsenal Women manager said it - the Swedish keeper!

My 'issue', if you can call it that, is the reluctance to analyse the games properly. The Swedish keeper was a disgrace and it was laughable that the commentator said she could do nothing with the backheel goal (which was excellent skill).

Anyway, should be a good final whoever wins tomorrow. Think the other two are slightly better but home advantage makes such a difference.

She could get a job in mens football. If there is a side vet available I could see a championship team going for her. She is a meticulous planner. Love the fact that the ladies could bring football home in an age when the sky 6 dominate and make players are horrendously overpaid at the top level . The ladies game is different but I really enjoy it! Fair play to them and long May it continue

 

[Wonder Boyo]

I wish BBC would show all the celebrations and sack off the interviews (they clearly don't want to be interviewed but to enjoy the celebrations) and pundit chat.

I agree except I do enjoy listening to Alex Scott and Ian Wright and watching their reactions, mainly because they’ve both been big advocates for womens football and it’s lovely to watch them watch this - for me anyway

 

[S G Wolves]

Need to tone down the celebrations now. Have to remember not won anything yet. Biggest game of their lives coming up.

Wright just spoke really well about girls getting to play football at school

We've all said the same

This I totally agree. Let them enjoy the moment instead of a ridiculous interview when you wanna celebrate with your team mates

 

[Streathamwolf]

Astonishing atmosphere, I seem to have something in my eye.

 

[rg4352]

Yeah it choked me up, along with Alex Scott getting emotional. I agree with every word, I know when I was younger and football mad I found it so hard to access it outside of the quite rare PE session we had!

 

[Mighty Thor]

I’m guilty of many a snide and derogatory comment re the womens game. Thanks very much England for shoving those down my throat and kicking me in the nuts. Absolutely brilliant. Well done England!!!

 

[Streathamwolf]

They both wear their hearts on their sleeve.

 

[1972 i began]

Well up for it war they.Well done girls really enjoyed that.

 

[Hot Fuss]

Class girls!!!

 

[Kebab Warrior]

As a coach of multiple girls teams I’m delighted. And I keep saying it, this is nothing the girls coming up are starting much younger and are technically way better. Huge improvements to come.

Bloody marvellous.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Congrats girls worthy finalists
I think its 19 games 104 goals for 4 against since Weigman took charge
Ok some of the opponents have been lets say poor, but recently all top draw and all put to the sword
Hope they finish it off in style now, but you just know it will be Germany in the final and how it usually ends up against them lol

 

[sedgwolf1980]

I can see a scenario in a few years when womens football has male goalkeepers as that’s the biggest drawback by far to the womens game.

If we are up against Germany, I just hope that we don't end up with even more pointless arguments about whether the ball crossed the line or not!
