England are doing pretty well for a team that people keep saying can't defend. 1 goal conceded in 5 games.

Last night Norway (while being outplayed) could've easily scored twice in second half. Just not clinical which you'd fear US would expose in tight nervous semi final which looks likely to happen now.

From watching the games think Millie Bright has been a weak link so far, struggles to deal with ball being played over the top with misjudgements (Steph Houghton also struggles a little). By all accounts a better CB is on the bench?

There seems to be so many more shots from outside the box than in the men's game.

Long shots are probably more effective in the women's game.

France have fallen apart here. Their defence is dreadful.

Bright was garbage last night, but one possible mitigating circumstance is that she was recovering from a virus, and was only declared fit yesterday morning. However, she obviously needs to be massively better against America.

well I am sure the women will all back the captain and if anything makes morale better

Yes quite right she was brilliant tonight. USA the much better team. France huffed and puffed but showed little quality.
