The Big Interview with Elísabet Gunnarsdóttir Ahead of coaching at her first major tournament, the Belgium head coach took me back 32 years to a broken foot at 16 which inadvertently led her into a world of missed opportunities and a burning desire to become a coach...

What does it take to make a #Lioness? Downsizing houses, bank loans, hours of driving, juggling jobs, so tired that you sleep in meetings. Thank you to the families for speaking so openly & trusting @TheAthleticFC @KatieWhyatt @SJohnsonSport nytimes.com/athletic/65064…

I know this is absolutely the first thing on everyone's minds, but England will be back in the Copa Finalissima again...

2013 the last Women's Euros not won by Sarina Wiegman. Insane.

Still stands 😅

Might need a thesis on how that all panned out over the last 7 days, even the last 7 minutes. Good lord.

That was....a lot.

Nice normal, quiet start to the shootout.

Norris finally gets pole at the one track it's not particularly an advantage. #BelgianGP

Madness!

And there's the 9th.

Of course there's a penalty...

Think that's the 8th of England's 9 lives at this Euros.

Between the 90 minutes and penalty shootouts, 33 penalties were taken across the four quarter-finals. Think we all need a few days break now!

The way that game went just always felt like Germany would win the shootout, same with England the other night.

It's catching on...

We'll see, but just does not feel like France's night.

Every one of these quarter-finals has been, in their own way, a little bit mad.

Nah, what?
