Nailbiting stuff this!

6-6.

[MiketheSnow]

There was no way that was going in with a name like that

The French player hits the post.

[sparky]

Australia with a third chance to win in.

[sparky]

Third time lucky?

[sparky]

Vine scores. Australia though to play England or Colombia.

[Stargazer]

Yep! Aussies are through!

[Billy Tell]

With Durand in goal no ordinary world. Cup for Australia. They’re feeling vine.

[MiketheSnow]

The Ranga gets it

[KiwiMurph]

Aus must like their chances to win the whole thing now

[ACT Crusader]

I’m not a fan of penalty shootouts to decide a result (but I don’t think it can be decided any other way).

I do love the drama though.

[Bovidae]

It could be an Aust-Eng SF.

[Steven Harris]

Unbelievable theatre

[Billy Tell]

French dive and are just generally unlikeable. Aussie success reminds me of when our basketballers got to the semis. Showing my age here…

Was just chatting to Mrs Boo about how the original incarnation of MLS in the 80s used to have a one on one with the keeper. Much like hockey does now.

Wouldn't mind that as an alternative.

[MiketheSnow]

England with the right tactics

Go hard early

Guzman looks like she's part of the Colombian cartel

2002 - One of my favourite moments in sport. If not for Dirk Nowitzki’s second half we get a bronze…

Aussies were diving a bit. I thought it was pretty even on the diving stakes.

England dominating possession but not really creating chances in the first 25 minutes.

[canefan]

England being too tentative on attack, they need to get shots on goal
