Yes women keepers are a lot shorter than modern male ones, but the likes of Banks and Shilton weren't that tall, yet were top quality.
Banks and Shilton were both 6ft. Not very big for a men's goalkeeper but still taller than absolutely every first team keeper at this tournament except the Iceland one I think
Fantastic technique by Pina for the 2nd goal. She's not that big but just like against Belgium gets power in her shots and they Sail into the top corner. Bonmati did a brilliant back flick for the 1st goal when she had two defenders on her but her team mate read it. Spain are the team to beat and France are the only team left that has a reasonable chance of doing that.
Steph Houghton England's ex captain believes it will be a France v England Final.
I'm still with Spain to add the Euros to the World cup when they outclassed England in the final, and could happen again if England beat the surprise semi finalists Italy.
I sent my son who's watching in the stadium a still of the hair pulling as he didn't know what the red card and penalty was for as they didn't show a reply in the ground. A yellow card and a penalty should be enough punishment. Germany the most successful women's team ever in the Euros against the great under achievers France I want France to win for Cascarino's sake as she has already scored the best goal in the Euros and she nearly scored the 2nd best goal.
The 10 German women are giving it everything and they are tough competitors.
Absurd red card for Germany for hair pulling in the area, and France have a penalty which they score. 1-0
Apparently ref had no choice as it’s a mandatory red card...like when Cucarella had his hair pulled in the Club world cup last week. Seems a bit OTT.
Hair pulling is a massive no no, so it’s a red card and they all know it. It’s why the French bird just turned around and looked at her like, what were you thinking? Unlike Cucarella who went down like he’d been shot 🤣🤣

I didn't watch any of the world crap championship so I didn't realize pulling hair was a red and not a yellow card offence. Didn't the German girl realize VAR would catch her out ? At least Crouch was a tad more subtle when he scored a world cup goal while tugging the dreadlocks of Sancho of Trinidad. No VAR back in 2006.

Great game so far.
Especially in women's football, as let's face it, more female players have flowing locks!
I meant absurd penalty because it was an idiotic thing to do in the area. France have had two goals rightly chalked off for offside, and Germany missed a penalty.
I have to admit, I want extra time and .... yes ...penalties!

This will be scored or not 🤦🏼♀️
Penaltyitis continues with some cracking goals in normal play.
