As a German I'm not even mad or disappointed about the result. I'm just glad that it's finally over. Can't say that this match was a good promotion for women's football. Sometimes it even looked like a parody.

I wouldn't say trash we have a few good players. Plus winning is winning at the end of the day.

They're used to it.

Happy about this result. The English girls are stoked. They clearly wanted this win the most. On paper the German team is better and in the 1st half they obviously were the better team on the field, but England came back and had 100% opportunities. In the end a just result and a great move forward for the team (although we should've beaten them a few matches ago).
True. Really disappointed at the level of play.

You guys did improve, maybe the most out of any team....I'm just poking fun at them.

Why would you poke fun at the team that just placed third instead of a team that won their opener 10-0, then proceeded to lose every game that mattered?
It will soon go when the mens team play.
I wonder why commentators and pundits were saying that the teams didn't care about the third place game.
Both teams obviously care...a lot.
It's not like all of them are going back to their domestic leagues with a prestige of La Liga.
Why not?

Nope. Would've been a nice way to build on the interest and momentum. Hopefully we get that spot, though.
Japan is by far the best at passing and controlling the ball in this WC. Hell they are way better than their own men's side in that regard.

YES ENGLAND
So happy for them. They should be really proud of this team after this tourney and the way they bounced back today after the semi.

Amusing that a tournament that started with a couple of 10-goal wins and complaints that the women's game was too easy seems to be dominated by penalties at the moment.
Delighted for England. It's been excellent to watch how they've come along since the beginning of the tournament, especially bouncing back from that semi-final. Speaking of which, that own goal aside, couldn't really have asked for a better advert for the women's game in our country, could we?
Looking forward to the final now.

Like I said earlier, feel good for England's chances next euro cup.
Best result for England at a World Cup since 1966, so bloody proud of this team.
Because we enter the Olympics as the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic team, which from a football perspective means getting the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish FAs to agree to send a joint team.
The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish FAs couldn't even agree to take part in London 2012 (in the end they all pulled out, tried to ban any of their players from taking part, and generally acted like the most spiteful bastards they could possibly be), so the English FA just went it alone and selected a squad from a mix of the nations anyway.
As the hosts, there was no real impediment to this fucking shambles still resulting in a place in the tournament, but it's proven impossible to organise things for 2016 in such a bitter and oppositional environment.

Happy for England after that semi-final heartbreak.
What is the name of the German #23 player, for reasons.

I'm curious what the ratings will be like. The Japan loss got 1.7M despite starting after midnight on a work night. While this is on paper a less significant match it has the advantages of being on a Saturday, at a more accessible time of day, and against the auld foe.
I just looked up the women's Euro on wikipedia. Germany has won it the past six times! Wow
I recommend anyone from the US (or anywhere really) to watch this:

Alright guy time to get fucking hyped. I've doubted you guys but you've proven me wrong every time.

With that being said I really love the way Japan plays. I don't think this will top France v Germany but it should be a fun match to watch

team USA really needs to win tomorrow. We can't be considered the best world cup team of all time if we haven't won a world cup in this millennium. Making every semi final round in the WC existence is pretty impressive no doubt

Sucks about the Great Britain team not participating at Rio.

I think the one match that hurt us is the Colombia match. It wasn't a pretty match and not one to be proud of but a "win is a win".
