EPL 2024/2025
-
Second English penalty taker (Greenwood) looks nervous as fuck.
-
But it creeps in. 1-1.
-
Second Spanish penalty is terrible. Easy save. 1-1.
All square.
-
And Williamson the England captain hits a terrible penalty.
-
But the Spanish player misses. 2-1 to England with one to go.
-
Kelly for Glory.

-
She hits it. England retain the Women's Euros. Back to back champions.
-
Sweet Caroline time.

Whoever wrote the shoot-out notes for Hampton deserves a raise. I think she went the right way for all five penalties.

The QF pens were far worse

Wonderful evening in the Rage house.
11 yo daughter over the moon. She supports the All Blacks too, but I think it’s mainly for me. This is all her.
I love this team. They have fantastic qualities and aim to inspire, lead and win. And it’s exactly what they do.
And they do it with grace, respect for the opposition and in a rare quality up here at the moment, immense pride for England.
Just brilliant.

They did it tough too
Exemplary fitness and professionalism

I read that in their three knockout games the Lionesses were ahead for only 4 minutes and 16 seconds combined and they lost their first game against France and yet they won the tournament.
There is a huge lesson there for other international teams preparing for major tournaments. It's finishing brilliantly that matters.

Lucy Bronze, England's Right Back, revealed she played the entire tournament with a broken tibia. Respect!

WSL attendance was down more than 10% last season so it will be interesting to see how the FA use the Lionesses success int he Euros to reignite year-round interest in the women's game.
More fixtures at different times to EPL fixtures or as curtain raisers would seem sensible. I think the potential market in the UK for women's football, if marketed well, is enormous.
