We need to draw to guarantee qualification (but in reality merely avoiding a thrashing should do).

[ImperialWhite]

WOW! 1-0 England.

Excellent pass from Karen Carney to a space between the two centre backs which Ellen White (9) volleys into the net over the head of the Japanese keeper, who was miles off her line.

[ImperialWhite]

Yankey makes it 2-0.

Looks like we're topping the group (we're almost certainly in the quarters one way or another).

[ImperialWhite]

FT 2-0.

New Zealand come from 2-0 down to 2-2.

England win the group and are on the way to meet France or Germany!  :yay:

Only caught the last twenty minutes, but it looked a good performance. And no diving, as usual. So much more fun watching honest women players than the usual England (men's) cast of cheats, lowlifes, poseurs and divas.  091.gif

The match between our QF opponents, France-Germany, is currently 2-4 (so we face France as it stands).

You will play the Frenchie's  :wine: :wine: :wine: with a back up goalie but she does have experience.
Nobody is playing that well - I hope we - USA - play better tomorrow.
