congrats to to the England ladies [View all]

After a heartbreaking semi loss to Japan they left it all on the pitch to win in overtime in the bronze medal game.

As an Englishman watching the last few minutes of overtime as the German women's team threw everything they had at England I was very nervous it would go to penalty kicks.

I literally broke into tears when the final whistle blew.

After 18 losses and two draws to Germany the English women's team broke the string and did it with stamina, guts, courage, determination and flair.

Thankyou ladies for reminding me why I so love this game...
