    Well deserved. England impressing me tonight, more than previous games.

    Yes, look like they could be peaking at the right time. Still no Italy mind you! :p

    Should be a couple of more goals in this for England.
    Interested to see if the ref books an English player for preventing a quick free. She's given 3 of them lectures so far, but failed to punish them. Perhaps they get a warning each :)

    Norway just missed a huge chance to get back. England will punish that now.

    Super finish but fook me Norway are slow on the uptake. England have had a player there for all the free kicks and tried it a couple of times.

    Super strike.
    Never a free though. Bronze threw herself down on the ball after being out-muscled.
    Then she belts in a rocket.

    Reminds me of Torsten Frings vs Costa Rica 2006.

    Game over.

    My nerves were unfounded, England have been good, and Norway way off the level they were apparently capable of.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    They should enjoy this night.
    I can't see beyond a USA vs Germany final (though I've been wrong before!)

    They look very sluggish compared to the Oz game, but maybe England are just that much better

    Im pleased because it's made for an easier game for England, but it's a shame Norway are off the pace, that game was my favourite game of the tournament so far.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Whoever England face next, they can't afford to defend like this!

    They can't, but finishing is definitely not the same standard in the women's game yet. Defences get away with a good bit more in women's football.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    The US trio, whether Rapinoe-Morgan-Heath or Rapinoe-Lloyd-Heath would have scored 2 or 3 there tonight. They are a step beyond the rest up front.

    Yeah, can't argue with that.

    It's coming home, it's coming home (the usual going out at the semi final stage is coming home).

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I wouldn't rule the French out. At home in front of a sell-out crowd of 50,000+ they could rise to the occasion.

    The US may have a stellar attack, but their goalkeeper and defence are not fantastic.

    England might be favourites now. Can see France bottling the semi's should they get there, I always remember that France v England RWC semi final in 2007 where France went in as heavy favourites against underdog England and choked massively.

    I know its comparing apples and oranges with mens rugby and womens football but there is a French mindset sometimes to screw up games they ought to win when they're facing enormous pressure, particularly at home. The Euro 2016 final was another game they were expected to win in front of their home crowd against a mediorce Portugal side and blew it.

    The UK press are also suggesting the US might be a spent force, so there is optimism now they might win it understandably.

    England quite strong going forward, but really do give up chances at the back. Neither Japan or Norway had the firepower to punish them, but you'd expect them to eventually pay for it.
