The support for this event Has been tremendous here.

Just imagine ................ there were over 30,000 spectators t the England - Japan game. There will be more than 54,000 to see the Final on Sunday.

A couple of the early games were held in small places such as in Moncton, NB, .... and even they got around 15,000 - 20,000 spectators.

Women's soccer is really well supported over here.

I have actually been a little disgusted at how some of the English sports commentators have been referring to the women. Hopefully this event will show them something!

Hope for a win against Germany. They did well, unfortunate end. They will end up 3rd or 4th, wonder were the men will come?

They showed total commitment, that's all you can ask for. Perhaps the men can learn something from that.

Well done ladies, hold your head up. You've done a lot for women's football in UK. We're proud of you. :-)

Heartbreaking for Laura Bassett. She couldn't stop crying.

England play Germany now for 3rd place.
