    I'm torn between wanting the rematch and wanting USA vs England.

    C'mon England!

    I have tickets to the final and want to see USAvsEngland. Not just because I think we'd have an easier time against England, but because I always like seeing new teams have a shot at gold

    6.1 overnight rating in the US being reported. Absolutely massive number. How high can Sunday get?

    England made a hell of a run for a team that was barely supposed to get out of their group.

    Ouch. Ooooowwww. My heart hurts for England right now.

    Japan don't even deserve to be in the final. Please God don't let us lose to them again. Please please please.

    :(.

    Somewhere, Steve Smith is out there, and he knows better than almost anyone what she's experiencing. In kind of an eerie coincidence, today's own goal happened in Edmonton. Where did Steve Smith's own goal happen against the Flames in 1989? In Edmonton.

    The final four teams were USA, Japan, England and Germany. Sounds like World War 2 all over again!

    My footballing world right now....

    I'm not ashamed to admit, for the first time, a women's football result literally reduced me to tears. Honestly thought the stars were aligning for us :( Bassett is, and will remain, a hero. Proper soldier throughout the World Cup. Sadly, the game can be very cruel to the English

    i had to laugh at the half time punditry. Dowie's niece or whoever it was admitted twice to not having watched a single game of Japan's throughout the tournament.

    she's being paid to provide her opinion on a WC semi final and she hasn't even watched the opposition. wow.

    I feel sorry for Laura Bassett. I'm sure she feels horrible and will probably have nightmares about it. And I wouldn't say that Japan defeated England as technically that's not what happened.

    My dad, who knows nothing about football, saw that OG and said "I'd kick her off the team!" I'm positive she'll be punishing herself far more than anyone else could.

    Man, that's one of the most devastating endings I've seen in a sporting event.

    99.99% of the time, that ball would've gone out for a corner. Had to go for it, attacker was coming in.

    England is generally overjoyed when they can beat the Germans in anything, so hopefully this will take some of the heat off of that poor defender who played her heart out.

    A 3rd place finish for the 6th ranked team in the world is quite good, especially when remembering that England also knocked the host country out.

    They beat the host, the World #1, and arguably the best player in the world (Marta). Nice tournament, indeed.

    3rd place at a World Cup. Most successful English World Cup performance on foreign soil; second best side after the 1966 team. And we beat ze Germans.

    Well played, girls. Well played.
