UPDATE.. England won 3-1 on pen.
Score was 1-1 AET.
CBS you know nothing. Stop hyping world champs or favorites. In a final there are NO favorites as seen in CWC.
I hate to say I told you so but I did, to the Spain fans who thought it would be an easy win.
Absolutely Mickey mouse 🐀 stuff!
Should be a great game. Hoping the referees don't have a negative effect on the final score and the VAR gets it right every time
Naturally as an English man, I want to see England win, just as millions of Spanish supporters want their team to win, however the real winner is Ladies football and all of those who represented their country in this nail-biting competition. That said…. COME ON ENGLAND, YOU CAN DO IT1
PREDICTION
England 3 : 2 Spain
To beat Spain, England must regularly interrupt their ball passing so that Spain doesn't dorminate possession. England must not waste a single goal scoring opportunity. The most effective defense against Spain is to attack them so that the y retreat 🏴❤⚽️
Englands luck will run out!!! Just hope the Ref is not paid a backhander to help England scam out another dodgy win!!
Should be a great game. It will be decided by the goalkeepers. Both are superb.
I will place my money on whichever one takes the best Dump before the match. I'm actually not kidding – there is science to back that up (no pun intended)
Yeah what about the goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole goodole

Good luck to San Diego Wave ~ you have a top 4 International Coach . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In 3 years you can dominate
What about the US❓️❓️🔱❓️❓️
Predicting the outcome is challenging, but England has a true saviour for the nation!
As per English bookies, England a winning chance of 30%. Seems about right to me.
a match to become the second best team in the world
2:08 In football, a strong team usually has a game changer substitute starting from the bench. It is tactical decision to not put them in starting 11. Sometimes, these super subs or tactical subs are actually better than some starting 11 players, and the coach knows that too, but they are deliberately placed in later in the game.
When they come in when the opponent is tired or really need to shift the momentum, these type of subs have huge impact. If they start as starting 11, they will still have impacts but maybe let’s say the impact scale is 12. But if they come in as sub, their impact can be 20 to 35.
Man U’s Solskjaer was good example. He always come into the pitch at later part, because that’s when his impact is even more huge.
In this England women team, Kelly or Agyemang are perhaps not necessarily better or not necessarily worse than starting 11 players. I think they have similar level of plays. But because of these two player’s’ play styles, they can have much better influence when come as subs than when they start as starting 11.
A player with pace, a player with sharp cross, a player with good aerial battle, a player with good defense pressure, a player with good physical play, a player with good goal-scoring chance creation – these are common styles of players who are tactically placed as substitutes – they are subs but it is almost 100% these type of players will play every game.
Watch for the spanish fouling you csn be assured it will be on the agenda
England has scrapped by, Spain has dominated. Spain should be the favorite.
The thing about starting game-changers is… what do you do when you want to change the game?
En el último mundial que jugó USA – Espña, la arbitra Frapar pito 2 penaltis ridículos contra España… esperemos que, en esta final, no meta la pata de nuevo.
Piña, Batlee and Guijaroou…madre de mi vida. Quien ha escrito esa alineación? Parece que es un un troleo del realizador o igual iba borracho😵
Solo pido que Frappart aplique correcta y equitativamente el reglamento y no influya en el resultado final.
I’m seeing the same kind of comments I saw when Arsenal were about to face Barcelona — and we all know how that turned out. Some fans just never learn. This is tournament football, and more often than not, it’s the team that struggled on the way to the final that ends up pulling off the upset. So just calm down all you Spanish fans.
Player prop: Salma scores a goal to give Spain 11 total scorers in the tournament.
Me decepcionan las jugadoras catalanas de la Selección española, ( Aitana, Alèxia,… etc) por su falta de generosidad al no reivindicar la Selección Nacional de Catalunya de Futbol Femení-
Heard Italy 🇮🇹 rooting for Spain 🇪🇸 too
Wonder 💭 Why⁉️🙄
Spain 🇪🇸 2 ⚽️⚽️
England 🏴 0
Won’t be close and no comeback no drama 🎭
England got lucky 🍀 twice to be in final
That penalty against Italy 🇮🇹 was never a penalty – not even soft….Shame on that bad referee
Oh that American 🇺🇸 chick 🐥 tryin 2 link Arsenal win over Barca in CL 2 England 🏴 potential upset of Spain 🇪🇸 far fetched they say
2 completely different games comparison ain’t fair because Arsenal Barca got pros from different countries than Spain 🇪🇸 and England 🏴 Not a good way to predict tomorrows outcome
It is also Spain 🇪🇸 first Euro final so it means a lot to the Spaniards especially Putellas and Bonmati….1 of the 2 will win 🥇 Final MVP 🏆
The typos on the Spanish line-up (Batlee and Guijaro) are very disrespectful honestly
Prediction: England 2-1 down at the 74th minute, Wiegman brings on the supersubs and after the 4th minute of injury time England will lose 2-1.
Why are they wearing club shirts? Oo
What has happened will NEVER be the same as the next, even much tougher game.
Spain will play like Spain.
It won't change.
And they will punish England if the team play awful in the first half like they showed vs Sweden and Italy.
Spain didn't need that hard to beat Italy because Italy is not at that level yet.
Even when England lead vs Spain, England still could loose – like in that decisive Nations League game.
Spain scored twice from the subs.
My point, if England have Chloe and Michelle – Spain also have Pina & Paraluello and Lopez.
And England has a defensive problem – especially on the left – that we still don't see how Sarina solves it up to now.
If Spain scores early, it’s all over, mate.
To my knowledge, no team can win when they play Spain.
So here's my take on this…
I suggest that England players watch these video – it may be crucial for the mindset and the how they play in the final:
1🧐
Why Chelsea KEEP destroying football’s ml lBiGGEST favourites!! – by Footnotes FC channel (22 July)
2 🧐
And then you’d better watch…
“How Maresca Outsmarted Paris – The Plan That Changed Everything! – by Midfield Insight channel (17 July)
I have always said for years that Spain is nothing without Catalan players.
And people ignore that fact – but they are mistaken… It’s not about being racist or else, but indeed without the Barcelona structure, Spain is an average team.
The same thing happens here in Spain's women's team. All Barca.
Now, I don’t need to explain what both videos will show you BUT these two may hold as the key of how The Lionesses can beat the highly favourite team in the final.
I simply add what are not in the video…
Because Chelsea Women are yet to find a way to beat them …
BUT Arsenal did it last May in the CL final…
And the real Chelsea team did it three times by PLAYING SiMPLE, and KEEP ANNOYING the opponents.
See the pattern here…
Chelsea made one of the greatest shocks in football history versus one of the greatest teams Barca under the legendary Guardiola Home & Away in 2012.
Out of nowhere!
Chelsea beat the highly dominating team Man City under Guardiola (again) that has possession style and accurate passing.
Out of nowhere!
And then, the new form, young Chelsea squad dismantled the CL winner PSG, under Enrique. PSG beat Bayern convincingly and even screwed Ref Vardrid so hard that they could barely walk anymore.
The teams that Chelsea beat, they all have Barca elements in them.
But Maresca already knew his team would win based on what he saw in the first 10-15 minutes.
Since we are yet to have some data and stats in Women football …
I do hope Sarina and the analytic team and all the Lionnesses watch those videos and analyze it.
Again, it’s about having the right mindset and applying the right strategy and tactics on the pitch.
Not always about the subs.
It's all about how England use the 90-minute of time effectively & correctly.
Again, if Spain scores, they will pass around and control the tempo which can make England exhausted and emotional.
Don’t tempt destiny by playing ugly like in the QF & SF. Sweden & especially Italy don’t have the quality & experience to finish off the game.
That’s all I can do for my dear England team in all levels.
Best regards from Indonesia!
Over to you, Lionnesses!
YNWA!! ✨
I completely agree with Sarina's quality; she has it all planned, even the theatrical and dramatic falls at the right moment. But Spain plans to administer cough syrup, in case an English player sneezes and falls in the penalty area.
My comment should be taken ironically.
I actually prefer a 4-3 result, in favor of the better team.
LONG LIVE THE SHOW!!!
I don't like extra time or penalties.
In less than 3 words: Spain dynasty
Neither side has performed, all in all no team has shone this tournament! Maybe fatigue from an entertaining season, but unfortunately it's been disappointing! Hopefully no penalties………. bloody nightmare to watch!
Spain(men and women) and England(men and women) football team has this attitude "NEVER GIVE UP" moto.
Come on Spain, we have the best player in the world❤❤❤
You can pick apart all you want but it’s a one off game. I wont be surprised if Spain take it but the football gods are smiling on England atm. England 2-1 in extra time.
batlee? xD omg
Bonmati is a genious reminds me style of another Spanish genious footballer in male Andres Iniesta ; i hope win ❤🇪🇦
New clásics of europe
"She's stubborn" seriously?
You bozos are talking about a woman that has got to the last 5 international finals in a row….winning 2..
