Back-to-back European final and the World Cup final. The Lionesses are smashing it!
England dig deep and with 2 minutes left we make it 1-1.
Sadly, it's another night at this tournament where England have been second best. I bemoaned the Lionesses last week, and we got lucky - same again, please.
“I’m horrified by what’s happening at Morecambe.” Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy tells me about the “heartbreaking” ownership saga at the Nat League club, & says the Football Governance Bill will make “significant difference” to such scenarios #morecambefc bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

One bit of news that I missed yesterday is that Tommy Lawson has brought his second spell as manager of the club to an end.
Morecambe FC are facing extinction. A takeover has stalled and new buyer news has then been met by radio silence. Tuesday’s home friendly vs Barrow has now been cancelled. Jason Whittingham told me he'd address Qs on Saturday morning, which he has not done. @SkySportsNews 1/2
The group that had an EFL approved sale for Morecambe, which has then been stalled before an announcement of a new and different purchaser, are taking legal action against the owner, Jason Whittingham.

Lucy Bronze's penalty last night was a proper English penalty. No thrills and trying anything fancy, just hammered it as hard as possible. At that point in time, we needed it to go in as we were on the verge of elimination.
