The semi final for the women's football is over and done with and one result came as a bit of a shock to me where as I more or less expected the other. We saw red cards and injuries which are definitely going to effect the next games and the results of the semi final are really going to lead us up to some hopefully brilliant games in the run up to the end of the competition. So here is how the semi finals finished...
I was really looking forward to this game and really thought that it was going to be close and in theend Sweden ended up winning 1-0. It is nice to see these two teams at this stage in the competition as they are showing a lot of progress over the past few years and this tournament has really proved that to us all. Sweden are having a fantastic competition and have got some great results under their belt and I can see them really challenging Canada however, Australia really held their own against Sweden holding them to a 1-0 win. Australia are becoming a huge threat and they are still a young team so they are one to watch in the future as I can see them being at the later stages of competitions quite a few times over the coming years. I am just a bit disappointed that we wont see Ellie Carpenter again in the Olympics due to her picking up a red card in this game when it really wasn't needed.
I think it is safe to say we are going to be in for a treat with both the final and the bronze medal match as both match ups are bound to be interesting ones. But check back later in the week to see how we think those games are going to finish and who is going home with each medal or without one at all.
