Germany finally get their second. Game over.
WEuros 2022 | England v Germany - it c*me h*me
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
That's it. Popp scores, but what was that by the Austrian goalkeeper?
Loris Karius level of drunk.

Germany being careful with Schüller after covid, thats the opposite strategy of many other teams!
Such a grim error. Was always on the cards with the way Austria play, but a warning for anyone playing Germany - they are going to keep pressing even in the final minutes.
This ref has been a disaster
In any case, we are due for quite a rivalry match in the semifinals. Whether that's France or Holland, it will be quite a battle against Germany.
She was absolutely horrible.
But what a game. I feel for the Austrian goalkeeper, horrible mistake that.
Austria should hold their heads up high though, they played very well and had a real fighting mentality about them.
After Sweden v Belgium, the tournament really starts, as the "lesser" sides will have been eliminated.
France v Netherlands
England v Sweden
Germany v France/Netherlands
England/Sweden v Germany/France/Netherlands
These matches are all very hard to call.

Presumably everyone is thinking that tonight's game will be a walkover for Sweden??
Unless Belgium is a team of destiny (like Canada was at the Tokyo Olympics), the Swedish Women's Team usually do not choke against lesser opponents with such a gap in talent.
Sweden XI: Lindahl, Nilden, Eriksson, Sembrant, Ilestedt, Bjorn, Asllani, Angeldahl, Rolfo, Blackstenius, Rytting Kaneryd.
V
Belgium XI:Evrard, Philtjens, De Neve, Kees, Deloose, Minnaert, Vanhaevermaet, Biesmans, Wullaert, De Caigny, Cayman.
On the face of it, Belgium have no chance. Sweden are missing a couple of players due to covid and injuries, but they are the top ranked team in the tournament.
Belgium? Hmmm, well the phrase most commonly used is "well organised" - but that got them a win against Italy in the group stage.

Sweden making so many chances, but not converting them yet. Still just looks like a question of time though. Belgium need to get their acts together sharpish.
Wow, that was quite some save inside high traffic by Evrard. Belgium escaping for now.
Sweden playing really well atm and the way I want United to play
high press, winning back the ball early and shifting positions all the time.Of course it had to be Blackstenius. Leave her all alone and this is what you get.
Blackstenius scores for Sweden. Good break, good finish.
Looked offside initially, but on replay it didn’t. Must have been very tight.
VAR says offside so it's still goalless...
Looked onside by a mile
Blackstenius vs 5 Belgian players and and a goal - that did not count.... :-)
Dream final would be England v Germany. Not unlikely either.
I swear that introducing semi-automated offside technology here would have been a great test to call offsides faster before the big show in Qatar.
Swedens captain Caroline Seger is injured, and sweden is better because of that, they are more dynamic and have better pace without her, her injury have been a blessing in disguise.
Belgium needs subs, they are dead tired in the legs now, they are doomed without subs.
I'm just baffled by how hesitant so many managers are nowadays when it comes to making subs when the need is just obvious.
edit: Well, Deloose goes off and is replaced by Dhont.
Well this isn't the best of watches.....
So far England have nothing to worry about either sides.....

Indeed, what are Belgium going to do with fancy names that cant run anymore? I mean, number 9 in the team cant run, she just wants to stand still :-) Legs are gone.
I would sub 3 or 4 players for them.
World ranking:
Sweden: 2nd
Belgium: 19th.
Jikes.

Not a great watch when Belgium are defending with 11 players in the box for large spells. Sweden need something special to break through this wall. Hopefully Sweden have done pens in training
Shot attempts:
Sweden 30 (8 on traget)
Belgium 2 (0 on target)
Sweden 30 (8 on traget)
Belgium 2 (0 on target)
Basically a full game of attack vs defence
Belgium playing out from their GK, haha.They are dead tired and almost lost the ball. Stupid!
Sub out a yellow carded player with 2 mins left, bravo!
Belgium look absolutely done. They’re all out on their feet
Well nothing to write home about in this game, Belgium look knackered, and Sweden look out of ideas...
If Belgium somehow qualify here it would be incredible for England. England would wipe the floor with them
Oh no that’s heartbreaking
You had to go and say something didn’t you…
Spoke too soon
