Eh? There's still an hour to play, if you factor in stoppage time in both halves. 

Yeah just being a negative Nelly. We have looked dangerous. In general this team has have been toothless upfront the past year but we have had a few moments catching the swedes napping. We have a lot of work to do as we have been 2nd best all half.

Need to put Fleming where she belongs- in the middle of the park. Have not liked having her on the right side of midfield the whole tourney but we have got away with it until now

💯 get Fleming back in the middle and Leon out on the wing.

Just once I want to see Priestman be brave with her subs. Beckie has looked completely out of sorts all game. Bring on Leon or Rose at the half

Sweden are good and efficient but if we beat the press in midfield they're vulnerable

She heard you 🤣

[SthMelbRed]

Good subs. Beckie and Quinn were probably our 2 weakest players in the first half. I think Grosso and Leon can give us something different.

[JohnnyFranchise]

Oh that HAS to be a foul

[Gian-Luca]

That has to be a pk

[dyslexic nam]

Has to be.  

[dyslexic nam]

This will be close.  She looked to get a toe on the ball but is that enough to nullify wiping her out. 

[dyslexic nam]

Yup

[spinrack]

Well, this changes everything.

[dyslexic nam]

Yeah baby 

[dyslexic nam]

Level ground.   They have looked a bit more dangerous but anything can happen in the next 23 minutes

There was a whole  bunch of close in there.

Even outside the penalties, Fleming has been very good these last two games after struggling earlier in the tournament

At 23, she will be a key player for a long time.  

[Cblake]

Game On, Canada has been bringing it since the goal. Great to see. 

[Joe MacCarthy]

Some guy did a study and found that the longer a penalty takes (from the go ahead whistle) the higher likelihood it will be missed.  Unfortunately I can't get that outta my head.

She needs to learn how to be stronger on the ball, but definitely has a great skill set.
