England played pretty well, I thought. I figured Colombia would try to repeat the Nigeria game plan, because the two sides play in a similar, high tempo counter attacking way, but England defended much better tonight and didn't end up having to furiously defend for long periods. The two sides shared the first half, I think, but England were pretty much in control for the bulk of that second half and there weren't too many alarms really.
Did Santos shoot? I'm not sure, it was an odd goal.... it seemed to balloon up to Earps and looked pretty innocuous, so I was stunned when the ball dropped late and went in over her head. Ronaldinho-esque
The 2 KO games for England were against very 'hands on' defenders, tugging and pushing away at anything... agricultural ain't in it and they largely got away with it.... so England have had a bit of practice ahead of the semi, because I reckon Australia will pose a similar, if more potent, challenge. A semi against France would have posed a set of completely different questions
