August 9, 20231 yr Author Head To Head: Spain and Netherlands have never played each other. Japan and Sweden have never played each other. Australia and France have never played each other. England and Colombia have never played each other.
August 9, 20231 yr Very much entering the unknown then with those head to head stats! Rooting for the European nations.
August 9, 20231 yr I'll balance it out by rooting for the non-European nations :magic: (would love to see England keep going, but I'd equally love to see Colombia make the semis!)
August 9, 20231 yr Spain 1:2 Netherlands (extra time winner) Japan 1:1 Sweden (Japan in PK's) Australia 2:3 France England 2:0 Colombia
August 10, 20231 yr Author England forward Lauren James has been given a two-match ban by Fifa for her red card in the Women's World Cup game with Nigeria. James, 21, was sent off for stamping on the back of Michelle Alozie in the last 16-tie, which England won on penalties.
August 10, 20231 yr At least she's got a chance of playing another game then if we make it through this one. If she does get another start I imagine she'll have learnt a lot.
August 11, 20231 yr Author Japan 1 - 2 Sweden at FT. If Japan had played earlier like they did in the last 10 - 15 minutes it could have been a very different outcome. Surprised that Endo didn't start.
August 11, 20231 yr Author Teenage winger Salma Paralluelo came off the bench to score a 111th-minute winner as Spain beat the Netherlands to reach the Women's World Cup semi-finals for the first time. Mariona Caldentey had appeared to give Spain the win in normal time when she slammed home an 80th-minute penalty via the post after Stefanie van der Gragt handled in the box. Van der Gragt went from villain to hero by smashing home a stoppage-time equaliser - but Paralluelo found space in the area in extra time to put Spain's women into their first major semi-final for 26 years.
August 11, 20231 yr Author Sam Kerr will be back in Australia's starting XI for their Women's World Cup quarter-final against France if she is fit, says manager Tony Gustavsson. After missing the group stage with a calf injury, Australia captain Kerr came off the bench late in the last-16 win over Denmark.
August 11, 20231 yr Spain were definitely the better team against the Netherlands so the right result there! Japan did really well towards the end of that game but Sweden just had it swen up that little bit earlier I think. Should make for an exciting semi-final!
August 12, 20231 yr Well done to England! Colombia did very well and had a few good chances to win so a good showing from them as well. France and Australia really going all the way though!
