Crowd booing ENG for stalling but it's the smart play.
I'm taking Canada over England.
England is the #6 team in the world for a reason....they will beat Canada...
Will be an England v Japan semi final......
Talk about a tale of two halves. It was as if the teams switched kits at the half. Norway had the run of play, all the pressure put on England, and England had trouble clearing their half at times. As the second half whistle blew, both teams had their chances early, but Norway looked gassed, tired, scared, and shaken. England all of a sudden were confident, calm, and in control.
Next up for the Three Lionesses are the home side Canada. I cannot see Canada defeating England, so my bracket is collapsing fast.
