• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

I’m not sure what to make of the refereeing in this game.

I could have sworn that I saw the ball fouling a French player and it wasn’t even shown a yellow.

It may even have been borderline red, but yellow would have been a fair decision ultimately, as the player who was clattered to the floor was up on her feet in next to no time to take the free kick.

The ball definitely got away with one there.
 
I said earlier in the thread that the standard has come on leaps and bounds, but this game tonight illustrates that there are still areas where they need to learn. One is do NOT dive in from behind against an attacker going nowhere in the penalty area. That was such a stupid penalty France gave away a few minutes ago. As usual, it was missed.
 
This game has got a horrible inevitability about it. Despite being down to ten players after 13 minutes, I think Germany are going to win on penalties. France will only have themselves to blame if so, they just haven't used the extra woman effectively.
 
Feel sorry for the French. Second best team in the tournament, but if you can’t put ten women away after going a goal up, them’s the breaks. At least it was a quality shoot out, at last. No comedy.
