I wasn't happy with the way the host nation got beaten, it was as if they lost their cool and their style of play wasn't that threatening, it was very slow to me, they didn't have to play like they weren't scared of getting the ball in the box of the Lioness.
England are waiting for the last day to come but I assure you guys that Spain are going to surprise the Lioness, I believe the England women will play very slow against Spain just like Australia did against them (England). And I'll give the finals to Spain as the winners in the woman's world cup.

Australia ran out of luck finally. I was hoping for an upset, but that never happened. In the end, England proved to be too strong for Australia, even with their home advantage. Anyway, I am happy that at least one Asian team got featured in the semi-finals. I was hoping that Japan maybe able to do it, but they lost in the quarter-finals. But Australia made sure that there will be Asian representation in the semis. For the final match, England will be the clear favorites. But Spain has done well to this point. There is a good chance of an upset in the final.

England's game today was excellent especially towards the end of the game they played better.  Today it was finally decided which team will play in the final match. On August 20 we will see England vs Spain final match.  In that case, according to my prediction, England will be the champion of this year's Women's World Cup. The quality of England women's team is very good.  So they have a lot of potential to win the Women's World Cup this year. The final match of all the leagues is very interesting so naturally England vs Spain Women's World Cup final match is also going to be very exciting.

It's a well deserved win for the Lionesses, that even Harry Kane joined them in jubilation, by congratulating them with a message on their win.
I have always believed the England women side to be the better side since this women's world cup began.

The win against Australia came after a good substitution decision, because after the equalizer from Australia, the Lionesses played like hell, got more foul, held possession and did so much to stop the Australian counter attack. They sure did well to stop their counterpart from dragging them unto penalties.   

Today's victory will be a remarkable one for the Lioness of England over the Matilda's as they have for the first time seen the finals with so much pressure from Australia players. England showed Australia how to play professional football by taking their time to stop Australia from scoring after the first goal and they also took the little opportunities that they had to net the post. A good counter gave Hemp the chance to seal up the match with the third goal.

Sunday will be the finals between England and Spain,I want to see if England will make history by winning Spain in the finals to become this year's champion in the female world cup. The match wouldn't be an easy on because both teams are strong. Australia still have an opportunity to become third,if they can win Sweden when they clash for third place. I feel pity for them after the match as England players were jubilating and were excited. I must say that they deserve this victory.

Well, what ever be the out come of their game with Sweden on the 19th, is there still an opportunity for them to be in the finals? i mean Australia ?, i personally think they have lost their chance to England, which is not surprising anyway, I also expected England to win the match, which is why the outcome of the game isn't something too  interesting to discuss, one thing ive noticed with female football is that it can be easily predicted, and that makes the entire experience of the watching the match not so interesting.

Anyways, i am looking forward to Australia playing against Sweden on the 19th which is about 3 days to go, i personally think they have a better chance of beating Sweden if they play their card well, and also, England will play against Spain on the 20th, i think this one is a bit tricky to predict who the winner would be ...

the women's world cup is almost over, with yesterday's game and today's game, so we can only wait for the final game to see who will be champion and also see who will be in 3rd position. looking at yesterday's game which was spain's game against sweden, it was a game in which spain had more possession of the ball, there were 63% of ball possession for spain against 37% for sweden, the goals appeared very late in this game, with spain managing to score first in the 81st minute and then sweden tied the game in the 88th minute, i.e. in just 7 minutes sweden managed to tie the game, but unbelievable that in just 1 minute sweden conceded another goal and with that Spain got the upper hand

honestly, in games of this importance, the defense needs to stay on high alert, but talking about defense in women's games is the same as watching a comedy movie myself, without a doubt that in these games, the way goals are scored showed how the defense are from the very fragile sectors, goals that normally in high level competitions should only come in in case of accidents, not normally, this part still needs many, many long years for women's soccer to improve in the defense part, but finally with that goal, spain went to the final

in today's game, england, which in my opinion was the favorite in this game, won comfortably, they had the luxury of making an unbelievable long-distance shot that went into the goal, it was as if there were no goalkeepers in the australia team, and for to be honest in all the games in this cup i questioned myself what was the function of the goalkeepers and if they really existed and if they had defenders in the teams, because to me it seemed that as in the field there must be 11 players so they had to put players in the defense to stay 11 players, but I didn't see any utility, but anyway we'll see in the final game between Spain against England, in my opinion I see England being champion

As much as I would have liked to see Australia as one of the hosting countries to advance to the final, this game was made for the English team. There isn't a single statistic that Australia was better at. Which doesn't mean that they didn't fight hard. It's actually the opposite, they fought very hard, but it is proof that England did their job even better. Apart from the efficiency, which was obviously key here because  England scored goals with their few big chances in the right moments to pull the plug from the Australian team, England also dominated in all other respects. The final is going to be the best game between the best teams now, which is also good for the sport.

The England Women's team has worked hard on the field today. If I have to say, Australia women team players have worked harder to pay the goals but could not succeed in any way. Australia women leveled the game after half-time, but England went ahead again shortly after, scoring two goals in a row to go on top and win the match. In this, the defenders of the Australian women's team were random, so England scored three goals in just a few attacks. But the players of Australia team attacked more than England but could not succeed in any way. The Australian players worked hard in the closing moments but England's defenders were very strong and strong.

 I expected the Lionesses of England to win this game right from the onset of the game due to way they were pressing the Mathildas of Australia. The game looked like it was going to end in a draw in the first half but Ella Toones' goal in the 36th minutes broke the deadlock and it was not only a thing of joy for the Lionesses but for her as well as this was her first goal since the tournament started.
Throughout the game, they dominated and when hope seemed to run out for the Australian side, Kerr netted the only goal for them but at the end, goals from Russo and Hemp just killed their hopes of going for the finals. Maybe they can do something when they meet with Sweden in the third place match on the 19th of August.

That's one of the reasons I don't usually place this kind of bet. Nobody expects it, but it happens

The odds for the two remaining matches, the third-place match and the final are now live:




What do you think, are the odds fair?
Pretty tough matches again

Sam Kerr scored a banger to get Australia level and give some hope, but the one goal was not enough as England put in two extra to cancel out the goal. England and Spain in the finals! wow! that will be the second toughest game for England, maybe not as tough as when England played and struggled to beat Nigeria women. England has made history qualifying for the final of this competition, they can even win it with the kind of quality players that they have, but Spain will also want to make history and win the competition too. Both teams are teams that have high goal scoring ability, so it will be a very competetive final.

Many congratulations to England for finally qualifying for the World Cup final. England beat Australia by 3-1 in today's match against Australia. We have seen their best performance from England today. Maybe England started playing against Australia today with the plan that there is no option to win, finally they were able to leave the field with a win. In the 36th minute of the game, England scored the first goal, then there were no more goals in the first half, due to which Australia finished the game behind by one goal in the first half.

Australia turned around in the second half, with S. Kerr scoring for the team in the 63rd minute. When Australia got back on level terms against England it looked like the match would be tougher but the next period was all England had.  Later, England scored two more goals to secure their final.

Congratulations to the Lionesses for reaching the FIFA Women's World Cup final for the first time in history and becoming the first senior England team to reach that stage since 1966 when the men's national team won the men's edition.
Australia have had a good campaign if I must say and despite not being able to make it to the final of the competition, they can count on this as a very good performance. The final will now see England take on their Spanish counterparts on Sunday

England performed reasonably well today which led to their impressive win against Australia. England Women's performance today was different as they attacked brilliantly from the first half to the end. Australia Women also tried hard enough but although they leveled the game at 1-1, Australia attacked and then couldn't keep up with England. England put up enough of a fight with Australia to reach the final, which saw them beat Australia 3-1 to reach the final. It was predicted earlier that England will beat Australia in today's match. It came true. Basically, England is stronger than Australia. And in today's match, England attacked them strongly and beat Australia to confirm the final with Spain.

It's been a wonderful 90minutes played, though i kinda felt disappointed as I had rooted for Australia to win the match even though one would say they tried their best but for me their best wasn't enough with their defensive errors  and miscalculations.

Now we awaits to see England and Spain clashing in the race for the WWC 2023 title. Should the England lioness maintain this dominant performance they showcased today when they meet with Spain women then the chances are that they're going to lift the trophy cause it seems lick has always been on their side since this tournament kicked off. Congratulations to the England women on reaching the finals.

As predicted England have won the semifinal match with a big lead 3-1. Australia wasn't able to keep its competence high against England's performance. England made its first goal at the 36^th minute. With hard fight Australia levelled the goal 1-1 with the goal coming from Kerr at the second half 63^rd minute. Soon after that consecutive goals came from England players Hemp and Russo in the 71^st & 86^th minute. Australia isn't bad with its performance, they lacked in converting the chances into goals. Anyhow a good match. Final is going to be lucky as the tough one play against the lucky one.

Australia is doing the playing and they are gaining possession of the match but they can't score to equalise the second goal before England player Hemp banged the third goal on the 87th minutes.

I am so surprise to see the pressure that Australia is putting on England players but they could contain the pressure and it doesn't seem that they will allow Australia to score a second goal. England has finally won the game and for the first time in history that they have reached the world cup final. Australia will play third place on Saturday.
Australia 1-3 England.

However, Australian's defense is performing poor right now, which is why cost them and England is leading 2-1.
Sam Kerr managed to equalize briefly, but Australia couldn't hold onto it for long. Just after celebrating Kerr's goal, Australia conceded another goal by Hemp eight minutes later, making it 2-1.

86' England 3-1 Australia

Its too bad that she has to do it again because the Australian defense (which is usually very strong and solid) just made an error that cost them another goal. Its bad because this was a goal that could've been easily prevented since the ball was in Australian court but they miscommunicated and England capitalized on it.

England back in the lead, 2-1 now.  We're now heading to the closing stages of the game. I'm hopeful Australia can see another goal otherwise, it's the end of the road for them.

Edit: England 3-1 Australia. 4 minutes to go in regular time. Looks certain that Australia is out of this tie now. Sam kerr couldn't convert two clear cut opportunities whilst England is capitalizing on every opportunity.
