I love watching England's womens team, the togetherness, the way they find to win games is first class, reminds me a lot of Wagners traits at Town, a lot of leaders in the team. Really think England will win it. Not going to get past the semifinal.

I assumed the amount of English out in Oz we would sell out any ground but didn’t look that way at all yesterday

Not going to get past the semifinal. Is the country getting fully behind this , big deal over there ? I assumed the amount of English out in Oz we would sell out any ground but didn’t look that way at all yesterday Yeah country is getting into it massively. It’s really taken me by surprise how big some of the crowds have been, last night’s England game was 75k in an 84k seat stadium. Surprisingly these days there’s a big South American population in Australia and I’m sure some ‘extra’ Colombian fans last night. The semi is already a sell out (84k) and the fever pitch will ramp up further. There were lots of live sites playing the game in all our major cities, good luck messages up in shops and people wearing green and gold around the place. It’s well surpassed the most attended Women’s World Cup in both numbers and average attendances. Hope they take a look at how well we’ve done and host a men’s World Cup in time.

They said both both yesterday and against Nigeria there was lots of locals in to support whoever was playing against England. Bless their little colonial cotton socks 🤣

Bless their little colonial cotton socks 🤣 I was going to point it out on Nigeria game but would probably have been pulled up for racism. Lot of white faces supporting Nigeria. I appreciate there are white people living there but it seemed all of them turned up in Australia for a football match 😄

Bless their little colonial cotton socks 🤣 Like a Southern hemisphere Scotland,but who actually qualify for tournaments. 🤣🤣 It's not that surprising though, when you combine the Eng/Aus rivalry with also wanting the strongest team on your side of the draw to be eliminated.

It's a bit sad though when your nation is still in the competition. Just concentrate on supporting your own team rather than some random who happen to be playing a nation you don't like.

Goalkeeping error aside, England were superb defensively. What error ? A fluke going in is an error 😕 I'd say Nicholls error for the Leicester goal was far worse than the Mary Earps 'mistake'

Just some more bits of information, I was at the local shopping center today and saw Matilda’s jerseys and merchandise for sale front and center of the sports store, but right next to them were England jerseys. The Matilda’s jerseys have well and truly outsold the Socceroos (Australian men’s team) WC jersey by some way. The women’s jersey sold more pre tournament than the men’s over the entire tournament and after.
I think a whole new generation is being inspired and think in the next 10 years we will be a powerhouse.

So the ball won’t be charged to help you, the weather won’t save us…. Sounds like we are heading to penalties 😱 Geeze, lucky it’s not the England men’s team taking them 😂

When they did get a cross in though Bright was usually there to head it away... great player. Bright seems to have improved quite a bit. Good stuff from her today. This. Previously when I've seen Bright she seemed like a clumsy clogger who just twatted the ball when it got near her. She seemed a lot more composed versus Colombia and picked the clearances rather than just hoofed it.

VAR again. Spain score with a Spaniard stood on her own, on the 6 yard line, in front of the keeper and she's not interfering and offside 🤔🤨
