England v Sweden. What a nail biter!
I hate penalty shoot outs and thought it was all over (from behind my cushion) but they would not give in. I thought Sarina Wiegman looked shell shocked at the winning save!

Well Done Girls! Now the semis! ⚽️⚽️

As ever I couldn’t watch the penalty shoot out. I’ll say one thing; women’s international football is far more entertaining than watching the men’s team these days.

Never seen a worse penalty shoot out, but we won so who cares? grin Well done England!!!

You're right the England ladies are great to watch and ladies game has improved greatly. Looking forward to the next game.

Not a football fan but DH prefers women’s football. He says they don’t roll around on the ground with hurt limbs.

Congratulations, Lionesses 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

MayBee70 Tue 22-Jul-25 22:43:06

Chickened out of watching it again. Can't believe they did it. Was trying to half listen to the tv downstairs and gauge what was happening...

Grannybags Tue 22-Jul-25 22:43:35

Will my nails grow back in time for the final?!!

The Italians seemed to do a fair bit of that this evening.
But they're definitely not such wimps as the men.
