Will be a huge match for both sides

On form you'd have to say Aus are in the final

Think they've played their final

England to strangle them

[MajorPom]

That’s a huge win for England.

Struggling with form, hostile crowd, key player out and from a goal down.

Def lose to Oz!

Incredible scenes yesterday. Pubs packed with people glued to the TV watching the Matildas. And actively supporting, riding every moment. Incredible TV with the extended shootout

Cool pics of other sports like AFL showing the game on big screens

Couldn't we have gone straight to penalties?

Would have saved 2 hours.

Yeah I know they're ridiculously unfair but I love the drama of penalty shootouts. The unbelievable pressure and agony if they miss. It's more about human psychology than actual skill. I'll happily avoid an entire game but am always up for PS.

England v Colombia was a weird game. The intensity of England after they went a goal behind was massive and Colombia were hanging on even though it took a keeper error for the equaliser. But that stopped after half-time and it took another defensive blunder for their 2nd goal. After England went ahead, they sat back alarmingly and allowed Colombia to put them under pressure.

Hard to pick the results for both semis - Sweden will have joy against that Spanish defence if they play like they did against Japan, but Spain have multiple match-winners who can punish them. Aus-Eng looks like being a very tight game, could be another 0-0.

Spain v England Final for me

Thought it was poor from the whole team, Sweden weren't interested in moving from the box.
