Montse Tomé calls her players over for a huddle, which takes a while to form, but the squad all do join it – let’s face it, we could spend hours dissecting these moments for body language and meaning. And now my YouTube feed has cut, depriving me of another look at the penalty decision. Sweden had looked faster and stronger for a fair chunk of that match but Spain grew into it and began to tick after a limp start. They’re champions for a reason, even amid all the sound and fury and gaslighting of the past month.
So that’s today’s mammoth Friday football liveblog done for the day. Suzanne Wrack’s report from Sweden will be up soon, and England v Scotland starts imminently. So why not follow that for the rest of your evening. Thanks for following and for all your comments. Have a good weekend.
