I see that England have a shout for winning it.

Yes, though in general you probably go with the U.S. here. The French look good.

Enjoyed it so far. The England, France, US, Norway half of the draw seems likely to provide the winner.

Good win for England last night. Imagine that the semi final on Tuesday will be huge.

Going to miss the semi final as out at a whisky dinner but good luck to the Lionesses

Well, the better team won. Given the level of training and professionalisation in the American game this should not be surprising. And I think that this game was marred by rather than helped by VAR.

Onr thing I must praise was Phil Neville's attitude when he spoke after the game.

The match was apparently the most watched tv programme this year. The coverage has in general been very good

So, England end in fourth place.

Some people I was talking to earlier thought that England would devour Sweden. I told them not to be so sure. After all, Lionesses are carnivores and therefore don't eat Swedes.

Plus it's the third place play offs. I know that Phil Neville got some criticism for calling it a nonsense game, but he's right. Nobody cares about the third place play offs.
