    Will Lucy get Bronze? The 3rd place play-off.

    England v Sweden. Anyone care?

    I'm not sure how either team will really be able to pick themselves up from crushing disappointment to play out a game like this.

    Similar with Chile-Argentina elsewhere, or just about any 3rd/4th place game. Not sure why they insist on playing them still.

      In 2014 it gave Brazil the opportunity to restore some tarnished pride after the disastrous semi final by, er, only losing by three goals to the Netherlands.

        I'm hoping it gives Ellen White the chance to take the golden boot from Alex Morgan who flat-track-bullied her way to joint top with 5 goals against Thailand. And also allow us to move past the ridiculous fad that I've seen in the last few days that thinks there's a golden-boot tie-breaker of "assists".

          The BBC pundits reckon it's easily Ingerland's given the Swedes lost in ET and they've had an extra day's rest.

            Sweden it is so.

              Apart from Ellen White's hugely deserved quest (she's up there with Gerd Muller as a pure finisher in my eyes), and the last squad player getting on the pitch, oh, and Georgia Stanway getting a proper chance instead of the sadly rather predictable Jill Scott, and maybe the very good Swedish coach handing Phil Neville his tactical arse...

              Apart from all that, let's get this rubbish over with so we can get on with "The Real Final".

                  Nice assist by Greenwood.

                    Listening on the radio. Sounds like Sweden are battering England

                      Yes. 2-0 to the weaker side of the draw.

                        Could have been three.

                        Was great to see Aslani put away the first.

                        England seem to be knackered, which isn't what I was expecting given the semifinals.

                          Just got in and see the replays. Nice goal from Jakobsson. Drink breaks are handy for catching up!

                            England pass up two great chances to get it to White, whose shot is saved off the line.

                            Entertaining match, this

                              2-1 now. First time I've seen Fran Kirby do anything.

                                          Alex Morgan gives a little cheer.

                                              That would have been some lob by Blackstinius there.

                                                  Lovely pass to and movement by Kirby. Too bad that noone else was playing along.
