Well done to England women and their class act of a coach. Germany I thought had the upper hand for a fair bit of it -- in the latter stages especially -- and played some good stuff but England hung in there and got a scrappy winner. The two first goals for each side were excellent in the build up and execution, and are further evidence of why the women's game can be enjoyable to watch.
I thought the crowd on the whole was decent, at least observing the national anthem of the opposite team with respect, which you cannot always say about the bunch of idiots who usually turn up to support the men's team. In some ways it's a bit of a throwback the women's game because so many of them are just ordinary people who work hard and do it as their passion without getting paid a lot and I find that aspect a refreshing change from what we're used to with the men.
