Alicia Fergurson, Spot on with everything you said and how you said it. COME ON THE MATILDAS

[@superlight7654]

Both teams are great.

[@peterwood9034]

Just a small point - I keep hearing how"Sam Kerr is the best striker in the world".A great player and striker, granted, and she scored 12 goals in the WSL last season .Rachel Daly scored 22.Enough said.

the fifa cup golden goblet is worth 150 billion

[@DarrenLamb-on3py]

Can't believe that they genuinly thought they were going to beat England. They seemed convinced they would just be in the final. Shows how naive about the game they are. You never look beyond your next match. Its the cardinal sin in football.
