Refereeing has really let down the whole tournament. Had an amazing excellent view of the England one and it was a shocking dive, so much so I couldn't bring myself to cheer its award, but it seems like the players are taking things into their own hands to try and even up the terrible decisions.
Not convinced either penalty actually was but all to play for now. Japan keep the ball well but I think our pressing can unsettle them and hopefully some well timed introductions of flair players like Carney against tiring defenders can make the difference.
One thing's for sure these English girls won't lie down and die like the English men do.
I could really do with going to sleep as busy day tomorrow but Mark Sampson said they are counting on the support at home and it'll be my fault if I abandon them and they lose...interesting management style!

Top ten goals of this tournament just shown on TV would look great in a men's World Cup.
