And the Gold to Sweden.
They have even decided to put Stina Blackstenius on the bench vs The Netherlands.

Much too bullish for a Swede surely Musik? Spain and Germany looked pretty good. I'll be watching the game with a Dutch supporter so I might pass on our thoughts post match.

Just back from Brentford and really enjoyed the game. Surprised by the good atmosphere and my 10 yr daughter loved it. My teenage son even said he had a good time.

Flicked over at times on Tv ( Watching T20 blast on sky more interest as Lancs playing) and Germany looked good and takes me back to my childhood going to a schoolboys international getting a young child interested in live sport/atmosphere. Hope the tournament gets youngsters interested in football in general. I will watch bits of the games and give the analysis parts a wide berth.

Quite funny, earlier the sport journalist on TV made an interview with a Swedish player and asked "how does it feel to be gold favourites?" and today they interviewed some player from The Netherlands saying "You do know you're favourites?" 🤣 Hoping for a good game. Only having an away win on the football coupon though; a new one, starting tomorrow (I got the Germany-Denmark game wrong).

1-1 in the 52nd min, when it looked so safe.

Good game. Swedes were relentless, the Netherlands looked threatening. Both will almost certainly progress. Praise for the ref, who let the match flow well.

After the game the swedish reporter asked the swedish midfielder Kosovare Aslani (or as I call her, Kosovo-Albani) about her thoughts and he also said Sweden were dominating towards the end of the game.
She answered she thought Sweden were dominating in the first half too.
Just my thought. Sweden should have killed this game and won it then, by scoring again.
It made me think about Stoke ...
The Netherlands equalised in the 52nd min but didn't have much apart from that, a couple of long distance shots. 2-1 to Sweden should have been fair, just as I predicted.
Niedema is a fantastic player and I do like Martens, but they didn't show much! Neutralised by our swedish defence.

I have a feeling the nation will be consumed by this competition in a way some people don't realise. Wimbledon ends at the weekend and after that there's not a whole lot else going on and the media will be all over it. I hope so anyway. Well there's no other sport on. All the arguments like "oh its being shown higher than the men's game", nope... It's the world cup and it's the only thing of interest going on in the world, so fuck all reason not to give it a try. It may be that I can't get into too much but we'll see. I think the standard is ok, but the speed of the game and fitness isn't quite there yet. I guess you have to judge it on its own merit instead of comparing it to the men's game constantly. Euros not world cup

It will be interesting to follow the continuation tonight, France-Italy in particular.
But first Belgium-Iceland. Hard to predict!
⚽⚽

Belgium-Iceland on TV12 Sweden.
I have 1X2 on this one. 😁
Still 0-0, 22 mins played.
Belgium are sort of favourites.
