Rafferty needs to be subbed after that challenge. Could easily have been a second yellow.
She does need to be taken off. She's a dogged player and only knows how to play full out. Too risky. Having said that she did contact the ball squarely on that play so not really a cardable offence.

I think Japan have been shaken by the penalty they conceded in the first half. They are there for the taking and England are ever so close now with several very good efforts without reply.

I know, but some will ignore the wink.

You might want to have a word with the women's team coach.
Sampson said: "We now join that 1966 and 1990 crowd. I'm very, very proud of the whole team.
"We are history makers again. We are only the third England team to reach a semi-final.
It's all England now though....the Japanese look seriously rattled
Ooh, another chance.
Did that header come off her own player?
