EPL 2024/2025

[sparky]

Exciting England-Italy game in the women's Euros semis. England equalised six minutes into injury time after 90 minutes to take it to extra time. And they have just taken a lead with one minute of extra time left. Chloe Kelly had her penalty saved but scored on the rebound.

[sparky]

England make the women's Euros final. Their third major final in a row. But after two rollercoaster games that went to extra time and getting out of jail twice, will they have enough left in the tank to defeat France or Spain in the final on Sunday?

Brilliant entertainment

England women seem to be matching England men last year in finding a path to the Euro final. Not playing particularly well but scraping through.
Mbeumo to Man U (71 million quid - not sure he is that good).
Madueke to Arsenal (48.5 million quid - not sure if he will make the first team)
Elanga to Newcastle (55 million quid - not sure he is that good)
Kudus to Spurs (54.5 million quid - not sure he is that good)

@KiwiPie To be fair the Mbeumo deal is actually 65 mill plus add ons. As a long suffering Man Utd fan quite surprised we’ve gone for him as we have Amad who can play as a 10 would rather we went for a keeper to be honest

[Cyclops]

I have no frame of reference for the transfer market anymore. Is 50m even expensive?

It looks like the Swedish Viktor Gyokëres is signing for Arsenal for £65 million from Sporting Lisbon.

Marcus Rashford has joined FC Barcelona on loan until 30 June 2026.

Spain dominating possession and chances against Germany, but it's still 0-0 after 80 minutes.

And Wissa just left camp, if Wissa goes thats two major losses for them

[sparky]

Spain went through to the final after winning the Semi Final against Germany 1-0. They dominated possession for most of the match.

Spain will be big favourites for the final against England on Sunday.

[MiketheSnow]

The way thus tournament has played out you can’t count England out

But they do have a shedload of cash to spend .... but with a new manager that's a lot of pressure to make a good start

[mariner4life]

the Isak to Liverpool stories will not die even after they signed Ekitike

The club has spent the national debt of a mid-size nation in the last few weeks, and have brought in what? 5 or 6 guys who would all expect to be first XI? That never goes well.

Sort of weird a manager comes in, takes on the existing squad, wins the title at a canter, and then goes ahead with a revolution like they finished 6th. Be interesting to see what his KPIs are for this season given this level of investment.

Did anybody light things up with their charisma, charm or absurd arrogance? I honestly can't think of anyone.

Another riveting watch in the Women’s Euros

1-1 after extra time

We’re going to penalties

[sparky]

The English women looked out out their feet at the end there. Not sure why Russo was taken off after 70 minutes.

[sparky]

Beth Mead fell over but scored. She called back to take it again. It's saved. Advantage Spain.

[sparky]

Spanish player makes no mistake with their first penalty.

[sparky]

Second English penalty taker (Greenwood) looks nervous as fuck.
