They've got away with some pretty heavy contacts so far

[MiketheSnow]

Russo took a big hit in the act of scoring and yet she popped up like a 'Jack In The Box' to celebrate

In open play she would have stayed down after looking like she'd been hit by an 18-wheeler

The biggest problem with football

Seeing the ball in the back of the net, better than Nurofen....

Second QF and another goalkeeper substitution

[canefan]

Great shot and save. Careless turnover by Daly

[canefan]

Nice buildup by England there, but the last pass goes awry

[canefan]

England will be punished sooner or later if they continue to hand the ball back in dangerous positions

[canefan]

Fortuitous injury to one of the Colombian defenders stops a promising attack from England

[canefan]

Terrible negative play from England. They were driving forward, only to pass back out. The re-entry pass gets picked off and Colombia drive down the pitch for an attack of their own. Now they have a corner, they are pressing now

[canefan]

England struggling to contain Colombia now. They will be hoping the clock runs out soon

[sparky]

England win and go through to the last 4.

[canefan]

Wow Colombia have got away with murder tonight. So many grabs at English attackers that went unpunished

[canefan]

So we have the Ashes SF at WC23

[MiketheSnow]

Will be a huge match for both sides

On form you'd have to say Aus are in the final

Think they've played their final

England to strangle them

[MajorRage]

That’s a huge win for England.

Struggling with form, hostile crowd, key player out and from a goal down.

Def lose to Oz!

Incredible scenes yesterday. Pubs packed with people glued to the TV watching the Matildas. And actively supporting, riding every moment. Incredible TV with the extended shootout

Cool pics of other sports like AFL showing the game on big screens

Couldn't we have gone straight to penalties?

Would have saved 2 hours.

Yeah I know they're ridiculously unfair but I love the drama of penalty shootouts. The unbelievable pressure and agony if they miss. It's more about human psychology than actual skill. I'll happily avoid an entire game but am always up for PS.
