I believed it was throughout. England’s Euros dream was dying around one fourth to 10 on Wednesday night.
 Spain have been throughout us so when they went ahead, they looked certainties for that semi-final. Yes, I believed it was throughout.
 But, how about England’s women? To help keep channeling Kenneth Wolstenholme’s famous commentary of 1966, did they believe it had been throughout?
Did they hell. The Lionesses had other ideas.
On came Alessia Russo and Ella Toone, and everything altered. With only six minutes left, in came the mix and also the magnificent Russo in some way reached it in front of the three defenders round her.
Knock lower. Toone. Bang. Equaliser.


 Love it, like it, like it.
If the match represents a tipping point for women’s football, it had been now it began to tip. 
15 minutes later the procedure was complete. When Georgia Stanway advanced using the ball lower the center of Spain’s half, individuals supporting England might have fallen into two camps. 
There have been individuals thinking, for God’s sake, don’t waste your time and effort getting a pop after that.

Within this camp were supporters not really acquainted with the job of Ms Stanway. 
Within the other camp were individuals who understood precisely what she was able to. 
They screamed, SHOOT! And shoot she did. When the internet hadn’t caught it that ball would be travelling. Exactly what a strike.
I do not think women’s football within this country is ever going to function as the same again.
I’ve been banging on concerning the women’s game to my favorite mate for some time now. He is not been getting it.
 Yesterday, after i opened up my mouth to inquire about him if he’d viewed the The country game, he cut me off mid-sentence. “Ok OK,” he stated. “Now I recieve it.”
We have all been in an outing with women’s football. Mine started on the school football help out the late Seventies.
I was around 12 years of age, going to play an away game. 
The opposing team’s teacher known as us over and told us seriously there would be a girl playing on their behalf.
He really requested us when we minded! 
All of us checked out one another and shrugged. Er, no. Why would we?
And when the match began, we never gave it another thought.
On Wednesday night, I figured about this girl. I really hope she was watching. 
Speaking concerning the match on Radio 5 Live there is a variety of male I needed to listen to from: individuals who was simply unsure — or perhaps scathing — about women’s football but were now converts. 
They didn’t dissatisfy. Ok, hands up, was the overall message. It had been bloody amazing. 
A text from the man from Nottingham would be a bit off message with this hoary old chestnut concerning the goalkeepers not as much as much.
The truth is that, that’s something I’ve grumbled about previously. No more. 
Mary Earps and Sandra Paños, at opposite ends, were both just great.
Greater than seven . 5 million viewed the match around the box and much more on iPlayer.
Nottingham man can’t happen to be included in this.
Possibly he was among the relatively couple of watching Love Island rather.
I loved your camera shots from the crowd. These were as special because the occasion required. 
There is pleasure, passion and sheer wonderment in the magnitude of the items these were witnessing. Not only the end result everything. 
Rampaging Russo
There is one guy celebrating using what looked to become a three-year-old daughter. Their smiles will remain beside me for any good while. 
The noise the Euros crowds make continues to be as loud as you desire, but clearly in a greater pitch than we’re accustomed to.
Initially this sounded a little odd, however it’s the much deeper noise in the blokes’ matches that will seem a little weird once the Premier League begins again.
At that time, will the Lionesses be European Champions? I’ve been disappointed a lot of occasions by every team I’ve ever supported to become counting any chickens. 
But now I can’t imagine any team losing if her awesome Millie Vibrant behind, the rampaging Russo leading the road and nine other legends swarming around them. 
There’s plainly something concerning the coach too, and not simply because a couple of her subs combined to attain and alter the sport.
Sarina Wiegman radiates calmness in addition to competence and confidence as coach.
Her demeanour jogs my memory of Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti: they simply cause you to think that everything will probably be okay within the finish.
Her players are the real thing.
They’ve proven us they are able to both win in a canter and are available from behind against amazing opposition.
They’re ferociously gifted with iron wills.


Yet there’s a scrumptious hint of innocence about the subject, too. Obviously there’s — this really is new territory its them. And for people, too.
Together, let’s go completely. 
WE’RE IN THE SEMIS!

‘CROWD GO SO CRAZY’

By Lianne Sanderson – former England player
PEOPLE will always be sceptical concerning the women’s game however this year has demonstrated all of the doubters wrong.
I’ve never heard an audience go so wild when we will get the ball, it’s crazier compared to cheers at men’s games. And it is all been stored positive within the stands, we haven’t seen just one fight or violence to date.
Obtaining the women up to now hasn’t been simple and easy , Sarina Wiegman is a major factor of this. She’s the puzzle piece we’ve been missing.
We’re and not the best team on the planet, we’re rated eight, however, you wouldn’t realize it using their Euros performances.
Games such as the quarter-final now showcase women’s football at its very best.
I can’t stand Sweet Caroline like a song, but when I recieve to listen to it each time our Lionesses win, I’ll learn how to appreciate it.

‘EDGE In Our SEAT’

By Jason Cundy – footballer switched radio host
ENGLAND’S win against The country was football at its finest.
It’d all of the aspects of unscripted drama from elite athletes that keep viewers around the fringe of their seats.
They’ve resided within the shadow from the men’s game for this type of lengthy some time and yesterday they dominated the rear pages from the papers. 
The very first time ever, we’re doing phone-ins around the women’s game on talkSPORT.
Because of it being broadcast on terrestrial TV, more and more people than ever before can easily see precisely how technical women’s football is becoming. From how a players slowly move the balls around in triangles to the grade of goalkeeping, it’s no shocker individuals are being won over.
 There will be sceptics, but they’re outnumbered now.
It seems like we are able to win this tournament. It certainly seems like it’s time.
