Took some doing, but the Aussies got there in the end.

Now let's see how England go in the next couple of hours!

Well done, England. We'll see you next week.

Annoyingly, I was unable to watch the game. Channel 7 had only bought the rights to broadcast Matildas games and nothing else. All other games are on streaming channels we don't have on at home.  >:(

And last night watching the France cliffhanger on TV at Chez Bealman. Mrs B on couch, Bealette in Matildas shirt (along with the little ones).

Vacuum cleaner against wall to clean up the mess.  ;D

That is indeed true, Chris. Something that never occurred to me.

All the more reason for celebrating over there!

Ah well, it's over - well almost. Matildas lost bronze third place to Sweden tonight.

Being a Pom, I can still barrack for England in the final against Spain tomorrow night.
