This ref is something. She's been yelling at the players the whole game, and waits until the 67th minute to card someone for their behavior.

I've been questioning her for a while. Definitely needs to work on her de-escalation tactics. Game was only getting more aggressive and she was one of the main reasons.

Also Gooooooooooal!!!! Netherlands

She was/is the suspected Finals referee. Im a little surprised she's even doing this game because if she screws up then they need another ref for the finals.

The delay in cards is because of card accumulation and FIFA telling refs to keep them in their pockets as much as they can. Its got players yelling at her and she is yelling right back. I don't like it either. And now that she has given a couple of cards she seems much calmer.

The Dutch are through. They were clearly the better team today. And they cement their Olympic berth as well.

Netherlands proving to be a real contender. I didn't think they had it in them.

The US (#1 in the world) might have to beat #4, #3, & #2 consecutively to win the cup. That's a tall order.

I usually cheer for Italy (I studied Italian at A&M), but their constant dissent made them hard to pull for today.

Pulling for Sweden here. Something about Germany just rubs me wrong. Maybe its just Ariane Hingst. Beating Sweden in the Finals would also be payback for the Olympics

Sweden with a bad turnover and then a defensive gaffe not bothering to cover the middle of the area.

And the German CB says "hold my beer" on bad defense.

The German CBs with another bad mistake. Lucky they didn't give up a second goal.

And again. The German CBs are being split beautifully by the Swedish striker.

Germany just isn't playing with any pace or cohesion. I wonder if the heat and humidity have gotten to them.

If I were Sweden, I'd play a through ball every time.

It's hot, but humidity is low. 95F & 34% humidity would be a lovely day in Texas.

Was just thinking this. I know Germany's had a pretty easy road this tournament but I did not expect their back line to look this suspect.

Sweden is just flat out working Germany.

This is interesting. Popp was offside but Lindahl punched through the ball into the back of her head. Offside should negate anything that happens afterwards.

Sweden's not used to playing with a lead I guess. They need to be taking these long balls to the corner, not crossing it back into the center and losing it.

Edit: they just got my message

Semifinals by world ranking:
USA (1) vs ENG (3)
NED (8) vs SWE (9)

This knockout round bracket continues to be very lopsided.

Sweden knocked us out of 2016 olympics tho. Only bad thing about them making it.

Suddenly I'm liking our chances in the 2020 Olympics.

2016, what a revolting time that was...

Who are we rooting for today? I like our chances against Sweden better but would rather play someone new, so it's a tossup for me.

Maybe just hope for extra time to tire out both teams?

Haha fair enough. I personally prefer the 2014 mens German team but I'm also not blind...this will be a pleasing match.
