GERMANY’S JULIE BRAND SCORED THE OPENER IN LAST NIGHT’S MATCH AGAINST SWEDEN AT 7 MINS. JUST CASUALLY ROLLING THE BALL INTO THE BOTTOM CORNER, WHICH MUST HAVE BEEN A BIT OF A ‘HEADS-UP’ FOR THE SWEDISH LADIES AS THE SITUATION DIDN’T REMAIN 1 – 0 FOR LONG! IN FACT, IT WAS ONLY 5 MINS. LATER WHEN STINA BLACKSTENIUS EQUALISED, TAKING THE BALL AND RUNNING WITH IT, AND, QUITE LITERALLY, NEVER HANDING IT BACK AGAIN! NEXT, IT WAS 18 YEAR-OLD SMILLA HILMA HOLMBERG’S TURN (WHO HAS ONLY JUST GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL) TO NET A STUNNER, AND THEN, FOLLOWING SOME ARGEY-BARGEY, WHEN CARLOTTA WAMSER WAS SENT OFF FOR HANDBALL, PUSHING AWAY A BLACKSTENIUS STRIKE ON THE LINE AFTER BERGER HAD LEFT HER GOAL OPEN, GERMANY WERE DOWN TO 10 PLAYERS, WHICH LEFT SWEDEN LINING UP A PENALTY FOR FRIDOLINA ROLFO, AT 34 MINS., WHICH SHE NETTED WITH EASE! SWEDEN MADE 356 PASSES IN TOTAL, WITH AN 82% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 6 CORNERS, AND 13 SHOTS WITH 6 ON TARGET, INCLUDING ANOTHER STUNNER FROM LINA HURTIG AT 80 MINS. GERMANY MADE 383 PASSES, WITH A 78% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 2 CORNERS, AND 9 SHOTS WITH 4 ON TARGET (INCLUDING CARLOTTA WAMSER’S GOAL), AND ALSO HAD 52% POSSESSION, BUT IT JUST WASN’T TO BE THEIR NIGHT, WITH THE MATCH CULMINATING IN A 4 – 1 WIN TO SWEDEN, AND SWEDEN FINISHING ABOVE THEM IN GROUP C WITH A HISTORICAL SCORE!

THERE WERE HEADERS AND GOALS GALORE IN THE 5-GOAL-THRILLER BETWEEN POLAND VS DENMARK YESTERDAY! POLAND MADE 396 PASSES, WITH A 76% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 1 CORNER AND 15 SHOTS WITH 7 ON TARGET, INCLUDING FROM NATALIA PADILLA (WHO KICKED-OFF PROCEEDINGS) WITH A CRACKER AT 13 MINS., AND THEN EWA PAJOR (CHECK OUT HER MAGNIFICENT HEADER) AT 20 MINS., FOLLOWED UP WITH A LATE SMASHER FROM MARTYNA WIANKOVSKA AT 76 MINS! DENMARK MADE 456 PASSES, WITH AN 80% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 5 CORNERS, (55% POSSESSION), PLUS 17 SHOTS, WITH 6 ON TARGET, INCLUDING 2 STUNNERS FROM JANNI THOMSEN AT 59 MINS., AND SIGNE BRUUN AT 83 MINS., AND WITH NOTHING FURTHER REACHING-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET AFTER THAT, THE MATCH CULMINATED IN A 3 – 2 WIN TO POLAND, AND AS BOTH TEAMS HAD ALREADY BEEN ELIMINATED FROM QUARTER-FINAL CONTENTION, THIS MATCH CONFIRMED FINAL GROUP PLACINGS WITH POLAND FINISHING 3RD AND DENMARK 4TH, WITH ANOTHER HISTORICAL WIN IN THESE EUROS FOR POLAND, WHO CLAIMED THEIR 1ST VICTORY AT A MAJOR TOURNAMENT! THEIR MOTTO IS “IT’S TIME FOR OUR STORY” – WHICH IS CERTAINLY PROVING TO BE TRUE! WHAT AN EXCITING COMPETITION THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE!
