You can easily look at it as praise for Russo who has repeatedly played well everytime she's come on and deserves a start. England won't be able to start slowly in the final.

Then we agree, she deserves a start, but most likely she won't, hence the concerns.

France have lost their key striker and it shows.

They’re not as clinical, but they've dominated every game they’ve played so far.

She’s certainly been shown up a bit tonight hasn’t she?
Pleased for Kirby there; I thought she was weak at the start but fair play has grown into the game well.

Who do we think we’re going to be facing on Sunday?

I think it'll be a good game, but I'm going for Germany.

I think France have higher highs but lower lows. They've also never reached a major final so there'll be some nerves. If they're really on it they can beat Germany, they have a load of very talented players. But if they don't get an early goal I think they'll get nervy.

Germany are solid and reliable and know how to get the job done. Not unbeatable but quality all over the pitch.

Of course when I make predictions, the opposite usually happens....

Let's not kid ourselves, England playing the City way, with our girls.

I’m such a big fan of Walsh. She’s always looking around her and seems like she has a picture of what she wants to do. There are some lovely things she pulls off but her intentions aren’t read by her teammates so it doesn’t always come off. Very talented player.

Are Sweden really number 2 in the world though? France and Germany, not to mention England all look levels better.

They don't look like a second ranked team.
