Georgia stanway missed englands first penalty, but after two nigeria misses, chloe kelly was given the chance to win the game for england and her succesful spot kick sent the lionesses through to the Quarter Finals where they will face either jamaica or colombia. We dig deep as a group and we believe in our ability and first and foremost, we believe in what we are getting told to do. This team is special, we did it in the euros and we are here again tonight and we keep pushing forward. We stuck together as a team. Of course it was a very hard game. We made it through the extra time and we won the penalties and how we did that as a team, the team just kept going and i am so proud of them.

There have been a couple of major Talking Points in this match, first of all the shout for the penalty where it looked as though rachel daly was pushed in the box. Many of the fans
Earlier, i spoke to dr matt patterson, whos a Postdoctoral Research assistant in Atmospheric Physics at the University Of Oxford and has been following the winter heatwave. He said this is not a common occurance. Its really quite unusual to see a heatwave of this magnitude in the winter. As you said, weve seen temperatures of 38 degrees in some andes towns when we would expect to see temperatures of 10 15 degrees at this time of year. So really quite unprecedented. In terms of the magnitude, 20 degrees more than average, thats comparable with Summer Heatwaves that weve seen in the southern United States, Southern Europe and china this year.
