Women's football in this country will never be the same again. F***ing get in. twoht enjoyed that.
Looks like it came home, then. There has been considerable talk of comparatives between the England women’s team and its men’s equivalent this last couple of weeks, of the desirability of the women to forge their own history and to disregard and cast aside the various albatrosses around their own necks that their male counterparts have managed to position over the years.
A bombshell dropped, just ten minutes before kick-off. After considerable pre-match discussion, centred not least on whether she would end the tournament as its top scorer, it filtered through that Alex Popp had been injured in the warm-up and wouldn’t be playing. The Wolfsburg striker, with 59 goals from 119 appearances for her country, would turn out to be a big loss for the Germany team.
But Ellen White, all heat and light, was leading a constant hustle which led to a run of pressure and corners, but without creating too many clear chances. Two yellow cards in the space of a couple of minutes – the first somewhat harsh for Georgia Stanway, the second likely somewhat more deserved for a slightly overheating White – hinted a small loss of their normal self-control, and England hearts were in their mouths when a goalmouth scramble required the ball to be hooked off the line.
And cometh the hour, cometh the woman. Ella Toone had been on the pitch for barely five minutes when her moment came. Keira Walsh’s pass cut through the middle of a Germany defence like a hot knife through butter and Toone raced onto it, lifting the ball over Frohms and just under the crossbar to give England the lead. It was a marvellous passage of football, a precisely-placed pass, a beautifully timed run and a finish of some considerable sangfroid.
England have built no small part of their reputation throughout this tournament on their outstanding game management, but this was now coming under its biggest test yet, and it felt as though they may be buckling under the strain. For the goal, the defending was a little bit tired, and Germany’s attacking play was just canny enough.
