      Spain quickly strikes back after some terribly lazy play at the back from the US! Game on!

        Quiet start then.

          Pass of the tournament from Rose Lavelle there.

            That’s one hell of a shiner.

              Aye, thoroughly enjoyed that! Shame it didn't lead to a goal.

                Alex Morgan looks out of sync with the rest of the team.

                The only video I can find so far:

                  Spain has caught the USA off guard here I think.

                    The sun should help the US in this half.

                      So, VAR, why wasn't that two handed shove in the back of Ertz is the first minute of the second half a penalty? Yes, it was off the ball but you can't do that off the ball, either.
                      The US have got nothing from VAR so far this tournament. Yeah, they haven't needed it, but that doesn't make overlooking fouls against them fair or right.

                        Spain are flying into the challenges this half. That one on O'Hara, which should have been a foul for the follow through onto the ankle and a booking to go with that, was the fourth time this half a US player has been left in a heap after a 'full-blooded' challenge.

                          US diving any chance they get.

                            LOL. They were already gifted a penalty in the first half.

                              And the heat. The Spanish are working extremely hard defensively, which is more tiring than attacking. And the US have been training as full-time pros for rather longer and play in a much more competitive league - they will have had to go through 90 minutes at this pace and intensity many more times than their opponents. Their fitness should be higher than Spain's. However, they do have lots of 30+s in their side...

                                Gifted? The Spanish player stood on Heath's foot! It's a clear foul and I'm laughing in bemusement at you if you think otherwise.

                                    Ellis could be making substitutions here, Carli Lloyd and Christen Press just sitting there.

                                        Pathetic. Utterly pathetic.

                                            That's rubbish use of VAR. It shouldn't take two and a half minutes for them to even get to the stage of the ref going over for a VAR check.

                                              Even the Fox announcers don't think that merits a penalty kick.

                                                  Fucking hell - VAR triumphs again. The ref gives a penalty, then we waste endless minutes simply to have it confirmed. Just take the fucking thing already.
