England v Japan Match Predictions For the Women's World Cup semi-final?

[mikestrand]

Tremendous achievement by the girls to get to the semi.
I think we could cause an upset here 2-1 England.

They have gotta do it now! I changed my shift to a middle so that I can stay up and watch it without losing too much sleep, got to cheer the girls on!

I will go 2-1 too. I will take the way it happened vs Canada, two shock early goals and then a scare before half time but grind out the second half.

Can people also answer whether they are watching it please. I was going to start a thread for that question but I dont want to steal Mike's thunder.

Good thread Mike!

My heart says England; my head, Japan, the most technically accomplished team in the Cup.  Use your size and height advantage, England!

lol  I wanted to watch the USA game last night but fell asleep and missed the lot, no chance tonight I've got two alarm clocks set to make sure that doesn't happen again.

2-0 Japan.

[YankeeJim]

Japan may be slightly overconfident. However, Australia wasn't able to use its height advantage. They'll keep the ball on the deck and run forever; plus they are very organized on defense. It'll be tough but I'll be rooting for the Lionesses.

Is it possible that Japan could take on and beat three English speaking countries in a row? Their natural distaste of all things not Japanese would make them awful smug I fear. Lets hope we have an American/English final.

I'll enjoy gloating.  :hook:

Come on England, remember that Film, " The Bridge on the River Kwai ".
