France deserve to lose this. Shocking misses.

Some off those saves were unbelievable late in the second half. No idea how France haven't scored though.

They have been shocking up front is the reason. Not clinical enough. Yes the Dutch keeper has made some good saves but France should be 4 to the good.
Looks like this Is going to pens and the Dutch will win them.

Keeper got a hand to it But well struck. Come on France you ar by far the better side.I said that... Amazing penalty though, no stopping that.

Chances still come and go for France. No exaggeration to suggest France should be at least 5-0 up. At least. So frustrating if you are a French fan.

I enjoyed that game. Real party atmosphere in the stadium (until France scored). Was very much a Netherlands supporting crowd. My son being one of the only people in our section to cheer the France goal.
Looking forward to Tuesday night now!

I do think there'll be a lot lost from the atmosphere on Wednesday without the Netherlands. There were France fans there yesterday but not a huge amount and they weren't too loud.
Their players need to take their chances as well because they won't get too many against Germany and I also can't see France keeping a clean sheet either.

Neither can I and yes the competition will miss the Dutch supporters but as a pure footballing spectacle the game will be better for it with the French there. The Dutch are in transition and a pale reflection on the side that reached the WC Final in 2019 and won the Euros in 2017

About to head into Sheffield for the fan party... Getting excited for this one!
I'm thinking Weigman will be choosing the same line up again tonight. As much as I'd like to see Toone and Russo get a start, I think she trusts her starting eleven and also knows their energy and quality is very dangerous from the bench. Only change that seems possible is Greenwood in for Daly, but I don't think she'll make that change.

Would you go the final on Sunday if they win. Few tickets knocking about on Twitter and tempted. Mind you should we lose there will be heaps more tomorrow,

I bought tickets for the final in the original pre sale and we're spending a full weekend in London. Not as excited if it's Sweden against Germany or France but I hope most ticket holders still turn up if it is.

Keep your fingers crossed it's in normal time as well, my partner has been going on at me all day about leaving early to get the bus back to Doncaster if it goes into extra time and penalties. I've told her I'll get us a taxi back if we miss the last bus. But she's a Yorkshire lass and the idea of spending £50+ to get back from a football game doesn't fly with her

Seen a few arguments against this, mainly that White can wear opponents out and Russo works best right now as an impact sub, but that wouldn't be the same in reverse, and I can't really argue with that to be honest.
