2F-SWEDEN "Blågult" 4-2-0
11': All SWE thus far and a poor ENG clearance is pounced upon by Aslanni, who came off the field in the last match in a scary potential neck injury. So she starts and scores! SWE 1:0. ENG has allowed a goal in the first 12 minutes two games in a row.
22': A great curling strike in the box by Jakobsson and now SWE leads 2:0. But two SWE players are injured so ENG playing up for now. Tom J is happy as goals are pouring in.
45': An unusually high 5' of stoppage due to VAR and SWE injuries. Now an ENG player is down. SWE 2:1.
33': Back to back ENG goals but no, the second won't count as VAR shows an unintentional handball calls yet another White goal back (she'd have 8 if not for VAR) and is back stuck on 6 goals. But Kriby's goal in 31' was a great effort. ENG 1:2. Total time 51:00.
75': Game has slowed down, SWE out of subs. Retiring Karen Carney enters the match for ENG. SWE 2:1.
88': If White is kept off the board, then USA's Alex Morgan would retain the Golden Boot (more assists). White's 6 goals is impressive considering she didn't take any of ENG's 4 PKs.
89': Goal mouth block by SWE's Fischer head! SWE 2:1. 4 min stoppage.
Finish: 94:23. SWE wins their 3rd Bronze medal (tying USA)! Total goals for tiebreaker is 3. So if NED wins tomorrow, Tom J is going to need at least 4 goals scored between USA and NED. FOX calling ENG a failure which is funny. SWE didn't have many opportunities but made the most of them with 8 of their 9 shots on goal.
