Nice swan dino head. Get Jimbo aka 24/7 to make this a starred topic. 

The last Euro's I watched in 2017 was impressed by the Dutch so guess they will be my team now?  Also does the lass Martins still play for them?

[Hazell]

England have a real chance this time, now that they have a proper manager in charge of the charlatan they had in the last major tournament. They looked quite impressive against Belgium on Thursday too.

Leike Martens? If so, yes. She's in the squad.

The Dutch one to watch is Vivianne Meidema of Arsenal. Pure goal machine.

[Barneylfc∗]

The finishing in the first half left a lot to be desired. Cost me a fair bit in bets 

[cissesbeard]

taking my youngest daughter to the opening match and also italy v belgium - shes buzzing

[Hazell]

The finishing in the first half left a lot to be desired. Cost me a fair bit in bets 

They played well though. They have a couple of other friendlies lined up, one against the Dutch so that'll be more a test.

[kellan]

This tournament feels wide open. I really don't know who to pick as my guess for the winner. Right now I'm leaning Sweden's way. They have a pretty nice route to the semis.

But then again, Hegerberg has made herself available for Norway. And Meidema is in the Dutch squad. The French have Katoto. Denmark will be turning to Harder. Hemp has had a great season for City and will be a big threat for England if she carries her form into the tournament.

The only team who doesn't have a big scorer is Spain. Which is a damn shame, because they have everything else.

Group B is the fun one.

[Linudden]

This tournament feels wide open. I really don't know who to pick as my guess for the winner. Right now I'm leaning Sweden's way. They have a pretty nice route to the semis.

The Swedish women's team are experts at finding ways to lose when it matters the most and it's becoming a bit of a meme after 20 years. Not that I've watched a them play for a very long time, but so I'm told.

So just don't bet on them whatever you do

Some warm up games today

Germany v Switzerland at 4
Denmark v Brazil at 6
England v Holland at 8 on ITV

2. Paying the penalty

If two teams facing each other in their last group game are dead level, and draw, their position in the group is determined by a penalty shoot-out (unless there is another nation on the same number of points, in which case normal tie-break rules apply).

This scenario is yet to occur in a senior UEFA Women's EURO, although in the 2003 Women's U19 EURO, Sweden beat Italy 4-2 on spot kicks having conceded in added time to draw the match 3-3 and end up tied in second place in their section. Sweden went on to lose in the semi-finals – on penalties, having conceded to Norway in added time.

If two or more teams who do not play their last group match against each other finish level on points, various criteria are used to separate them. Firstly, head-to-head record is considered before overall group comparison starts with goal difference. Even disciplinary points or national-team coefficient ranking could come into it. See Article 18.01 for full details.

[Barneylfc∗]

Some warm up games today

Germany v Switzerland at 4
Denmark v Brazil at 6
England v Holland at 8 on ITV

Germany won 7-0
Denmark won 2-1
England 1-0 down

[TheShanklyGates]

England playing in orange and the Dutch playing in white shirts and blue shorts is messing with my head

[TheShanklyGates]

2-1 England now after the Dutch missed a penalty

[TheShanklyGates]

3-1 England after a goalkeeping howler. The keepers really do still stick out like a sore thumb sadly.

[TheShanklyGates]

Finished 5-1 to England! Superb result that against the defending European champions and World Cup runners-up.

[Barneylfc∗]

England v Switzerland later today at 5pm.

England off the back of a very good result against one of the tournament favourites in Holland, Switzerland got smashed 7-0 by Germany.

I also watched Holland the other night against Belarus and they were pretty poor. Miedema played like Lukaku. For them to have any chance of winning this she'll need to find her shooting boots.

[Barneylfc∗]

England dominant but can't get the breakthrough. 0-0 HT

[TheShanklyGates]

England dominant and got the breakthrough. 4-0 FT

[Barneylfc∗]

England dominant and got the breakthrough. 4-0 FT

Much better 2nd half from them. I'd expect them to reach the final. Should play Spain or Denmark in the quarter final, then Holland/Sweden or runner up of France's group in the semi.

[Barneylfc∗]

Balloon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas out of the tournament after rupturing ACL. Big loss for Spain that.

[looneysbin]

Bad news for Spain and a shame for the tournament and the player.

A lot of top players have gone down with ACL injuries recently - Macario, S Mewis, T Davidson, Press from the US, Lynn Williams has a 'leg injury,' Horan is carrying a knee injury, Sauerbrunn tore the miniscus in her knee earlier this year (actually, maybe it's an issue with the USWNT training program?!) Ellie Carpenter did her ACL (AUS). Marta had a knee ligament injury earlier this year too, although she's prob got more miles in the ligaments.

England look strong, good strength in depth and they've been playing some decent opponents in the lead up. Surprised how poor the Netherlands were.

Not European myself, but in general I'm really looking forward to the tournament as another notch of progress for women's football. Nice to see record ticket sales. I've been rewatching some 2019 WC matches, and some of those games were of very high quality, hopefully the game keeps getting better this tourney. Can't wait.

[Boston always unofficial]

Netherlands v Sweden on ESPN2 Saturday afternoon,looking forward to a pub watch.Last saturday it was american cornhole league followed by the tag/chase championship, oh how we laughed.

[Johnny Foreigner]

Ada Hegerberg finally back for Norway after a couple of years absence.. The absence came after a row with the coach/FA - Hegerberg claiming they had lack of professionalism, tactics and didn't set up the team properly (training facilities etc). Good to see Hegerberg who is truly brilliant together with Caroline G Hansen and a few other pretty decent players. Sadly the swedish dinosaur coach have managed to stay on with his outdated tactics; playing his best players out of position and looking like Roy Hodgson Jr in general.. Can't see Norway do good here, but hopefully it's Swedish Roy's last tournament

[Hazell]

England vs Austria tonight at 8.00pm at Castle Grayskulll

England XI: Earps, Bronze, Bright, Williamson, Daly, Walsh, Stanway, Kirby, Mead, Hemp, White.

Austria XI: Zinsberger; Wienroither, Wenninger, Schnaderbeck, Hanshaw; Puntigam; Dunst, Zadrazil, Feiersinger, Naschenweng; Billa.

[gerrardisgod]

Thought they’d turned Greenwood into one of the centre back pairing.

[rushyman]

My toes just curled into my shins at those anthems

[gerrardisgod]

Ball car!

[jillcwhomever]

England a bit nervy at the back.

[Brain Potter]

Sounds like a pre season friendly at Anfield.

[gerrardisgod]

Commentary seems to be a good second ahead.

[tubby]

Are the comms a little ahead on BBC HD for anyone else?  Might be all the audio actually.

[Barneylfc∗]

Yes, annoying as fuck

[Elzar]

Nice watching the womens team at a tournament knowing the manager isn’t an absolute chancer. What was that Neville era all about

[jillcwhomever]

Hemp should have done better there.

Hemp should have done better there.

Come on she's dope

[jillcwhomever]

1-0 England.

[Hazell]

Smart finish that, possibly offside or the ball didn't cross the line?

Given.
