This start was rewarded in the tenth minute with the lead. A few minutes later, the women of coach Phil Neville but could compensate as if from nowhere. Although the Three Lionesses were much better in the game, the US ladies took the lead again in the first round.
In the second half England had to cope then three setbacks: First hit White in the 67th minute to the supposed 2: 2. After the intervention of the video assistant, the hit counted but rightly because of a close offside not. Then the English girls could not use a penalty in the 83rd minute and had to accept a dismissal three minutes later. Although the English women were not infected, but could not really bring in the United States really in distress.
Thus, the Lionesses must continue to wait for their first World Cup final. After the 2015 World Cup and the European Championship 2017, the English team failed for the third consecutive time in a major tournament in the semifinals. After coach Neville’s side had made it to an outstanding World Cup with five wins and a single goal to the semi-finals, the departure was bitter. Throughout the tournament, England had made an extremely confident, hardened and unwavering impression. But against the US, it was not quite enough to the top performance that would have needed against the defending champion to progress.
For the semifinals, the national coach had also sacrificed his time-tested 4-2-3-1 and run the team in 4-4-2. In the match for third place, the Three Lionesses are likely to play in the usual system again. The team has big problems in this tournament with penalties. In this tournament England could only convert one of four penalties. In the home nevertheless a big euphoria was kindled. The semi-final against the US watched 11.7 million viewers on TV. Coach Neville was also extremely proud of his team after the semi-final.
Sweden :
After the Swedes had finally ended their 24-year victorious series against the DFB-Elf with their 2-1 win over Germany in the quarter-finals, the selection of coach Peter Gerhardsson went into the semi-final against European champions Netherlands with much optimism and confidence. The “Oranjeleeuwinnen” did very hard against defensively disciplined and consistent defending Swedes. On the offensive, Sweden was also more determined than the European champion. As against the German team should be in the semifinals fast advances and long balls forward the recipe for success. Overall, good scoring chances were in short supply. So the game went scoreless in the extension.
There, the Netherlands suddenly developed more train to goal and went into the 100th minute lead. The Swedes looked tired and not consistent enough. So Oranje brought the 1: 0 over time. The Swedish playmaker Asllani injured in injury time and had to be brought on a stretcher from the field. According to first results, however, no serious injuries were found in the hospital. Whether Asllani can play in the match for bronze, is still uncertain.
Fridolina Rolfo, who missed the semi-final because of a yellow card suspension, is allowed to participate again. Nathalie Björn, who also could not play against the Netherlands, as she suffered from fever when warming up, should be able to play again on Saturday. After the Swedes were eliminated in the quarter-finals in 2015, the game for the third place is still a significant increase. Now Sweden could occupy the bronze medal at a World Cup for the third time after finishing second in 2003. However, the bookmakers are skeptical and predict that England and Sweden will triumph over England.
