In cape town, if you try to take on all the dramatic scenery, you could miss what is right in front of you. Cut out the distractions, remove the noise for englands roses, their sights were set on one thing. A step into the unknown in a first World Cup Final. England started on the front foot and matched australia in the opening exchanges but, thereafter, the diamonds proved to be a cut above.

Australia really stepped up their defensive | really stepped up their defensive pressure and end theyjust disconnected a lot of the time. They didnt really have options for the ball in terms of you want to be percussive movements so if one person drives they create a space and other people drive into it. England todayjust didnt have that. It has been a good week for england, of course. How will they look back on this . Will they look back on the positives . Perhaps not tonight or not now but ultimately, has it been a positive week . At the market will take awhile for the dust to settle.

From wild World Cup Group so yeah, a good moment. From Wild World Cup to group so yeah, a good moment. From Wild World Cup to another. To another world cup, and a quite remarkable conclusion to the last 16 clash between sweden and the usa in the womens football. The match went to penalties after a goalless draw, but the two time defending champions are out, eliminated by the narrowist of margins. Katie smith was watching in melbourne and explains all. Most of us can barely get our breaths back. The first 120 minutes, we probably dont need to talk too much about. It was 0 0 after full time, it was 0 0 after extra time, the usa, the back to back champions, certainly the better side and they come in for quite a lot of criticism leading into this match but it felt like a big performance. Struggling to find a match although we have to give credit to the goalkeeper of sweden. Second choice goalkeeper at chelsea in the wsl who made some exceptional saves. 0nce chelsea in the wsl who made some exceptional saves. Once again went down to Penalty Kicks and this is where the drama really started to unfold. A couple of misses for sweden. Usa stepped up, ready to put her side through to the quarterfinals only to skate over the crossbar. Then at the same. Potentially the last we are ever going to see of her in the usa showed that at the last are going to see her at a world cup. And the big, big moment. The substitute in the second have stepped up to take the decisive kick after a mess from the usa. It wasjust decisive kick after a mess from the usa. It was just about save, we thought, by the keeper, the usa. But it went to the ar. Unless we needed any more stress, drama and the ar judged that it had by mere millimetres crept over the line which means sweden have beaten they have knocked them out of the world cup. They go through to the quarterfinals to face japan and most of the fans just could not believe it. We even had abba ringing round the stadium afterwards. And underwhelming campaign for the usa. How is this defeat going to go down with american soccer fans . Tt you with american soccer fans . If you look at the with american soccer fans . If you look at the reaction with american soccer fans . If you look at the reaction from with american soccer fans . If you look at the reaction from the look at the reaction from the american press, the weather was given to me yesterday ahead of the match when i asked some of what will it mean if they go out, the word was catastrophic. I mean, this is huge. You got to remember, the usa have never been knocked out before the semifinal stage. Third place at the lowest ebb ever finished in world cup history. The fans, it was a mixed reaction, ifi cup history. The fans, it was a mixed reaction, if i am honest. It was a little bit sadness, shock, probably. A lot of them really felt like they wanted to take the time to thank meghan. They said they did not blame her and wanted to tell her how much she has influenced usa football, what a legendary figure she has been but there is certainly going to be massive questions. It will go to the Drawing Board now and the head coach, surely, hisjob now on the line that at this is the biggest soccerjob in america. The Womens National team that he is now taking them to their worst ever result. A lot of newbies on the side as well. 0ver result. A lot of newbies on the side as well. Over half the squad are debutants so i think a lot of questions ever experience. Some criticism as well from former team mate saying perhaps they got too arrogant so i think theres going to be a lot of questions, a lot of criticism now, perhaps, but the one saving grace is they played well today and it was the cruelty of Penalty Kicks that knocked them out. Big disappointment from the usa. The netherlands were forced to endure several anxious moments before defeating south africa and booking their place in the last eight. But, theyll take on spain without experienced midfielder danielle van de donk, who picked up her second yellow card of the tournament and is now suspended. Dan 0gunshakin reports. With a song in their hearts, south africa danced their way into the last 16 clash against the netherlands side aiming for back to back finals. Less strictly come dancing, more strictly business. The long term absence of their striker may have once lowered expectations at the farm of one player who netted her fourth expectations at the farm of one player who Netted Herfourth for the tournament opening the scoring, has dutch fans dreaming of glory.

Arsenal have their first piece of silverware of the season, after beating Manchester City to win the Community Shield on penalties at wembley. Imran sidat was watching. Man citys treble winners began their quest for the first ever possible seven trophies in the traditional Curtain Raiser for the Football Season at wembley. Barely two months have passed since the goal completed that famous treble in istanbul and the spaniard came closest in the early exchanges. Arsenal have splashed the cash to close the gap and one of those new arrivals should maybe have done better here. The introduction after the break added an extra impetus to citys attacks and the youngster shin made his mark. A sublime finish to open the scoring. They almost had another, moments later, but for the another, moments later, but forthe heroics another, moments later, but for the heroics of aaron ramsdale. How crucial would that be . Well, with 101 minutes on the clock, this happened. A deflected effort, taking the game straight to penalties but after arsenal scored their reliable player failed to troub
