England v Sweden: match for third place in the Women's World Cup – live! | Soccer

79 min: Fischer drags on the balloon and is stolen by Taylor, who runs to the left. The ball tipped to the far post and Eriksson is not sure how to handle the situation. She is very fortunate to be pushed back by Bronze as she tries a corner. Instead, it is a free kick and a chance for Sweden to play a little bit in the clock.

78 min: England sends a ping in the middle of the park with little effect. Sterile domination.

76 min: Glas deviates with a great panache, coming from the right, and works almost space for a shot from the edge of the box. England stands firm.

74 min: This is Karen Carney, for the 144th and last time. She takes the place of Parris.

73 min: Scott is not very far from releasing White in the middle, but there is a little too much juice on the pbad. Lindahl gathers.

72 min: Everything has become a bit bitty. Sweden will be more than satisfied with this state of affairs, the clock being her friend for the moment.

68 min: Bjorn is receiving a small treatment.

66 min: The bronze is swept in the middle of the field and suddenly, Sweden has three against three. Bjorn heads for Zigiotti, whose low shot is stifled by Telford.

64 min: A long pbadage in the right inner channel almost finds Taylor, but the ever-adventurous Lindahl comes out of her box to free herself.

63 min: Kirby makes his way to the left and makes a pbad in the wing for Taylor, who gets out of the goal, enters the area and kicks at the bottom of the right post and goes out to score. She was offside, though. Sweden had stopped and the linnet had raised its flag. But what an excellent staging Kirby, who has moved away from some challenges with a simple elegance.

62 min: … Houghton heads safely to the bar when he meets the ball at the very far post. It was a decent opportunity, she will be disappointed not to have done better.

61 min: Greenwood swings a cross from the left. Sembrant releases half under the pressure of White. Bronze takes possession of the right ball and forces the corner, England is the second of the match. And from that …

59 min: England continues to probe, to ask questions. The always excellent Scott plays a nice pbad in the opposite direction from a tight left position to free Greenwood along the sideline. Greenwood can not get a significant shot, and Lindahl is once again on the verge of mopping.

58 min: Kirby has been England's best player so far. She dribbles intentionally to the right and sends a cross shot towards the near post. Lindahl does well to gather under pressure in a crowded area.

57 min: Kirby, pulling from a deep pocket, turns and almost frees White from the left. Glas does very well to stop his gallop. Scott then has a snap at a distance; Fischer blocks. It's not quite the roller coaster of the first half, but it's still open and fun. And on this topic, here is the latest letter from MBM co-author Mary Waltz: "What tone these women give us, give us a break from the mud of the real world for at least 90 minutes. For my part, I am grateful. "

56 min: That said, it's a free kick for the Swedes on the right. They load the box in England. Sembrant gives Houghton a boost in the back, which releases the pressure. But Sweden is coming back quickly to England, Jakobsson still facing Greenwood. This time, however, Greenwood stays strong and grazes his opponent. Goal kick. To defend yourself well.

54 min: England seemed the clearest since the recovery. All welcome the magical powers of Phil's special halftime box. I wonder if this music plays when you open it?

52 min: Scott caresses a good pbad on the left and almost free Taylor. Lindahl comes running from his box to intercept … then misses. Fortunately for the goalkeeper, sliding hysterically on the grbad, surprised Taylor can not control and Fischer is able to guide the ball away from danger.

50 min: Moore has a blast from afar. He's still heading to the left of the target, but it's flying.

47 min: A good start from start to finish for this second half. Both teams go there. Nobody thinks of overtime. Just before the restart, Phil Neville told the BBC that his team had "put the first 20 minutes in a box in the locker room." He will make a good motivational speaker someday.

And we leave! Sweden made a second change. Kosovare Asllani, who fell victim to the late defeat against the Netherlands, was replaced by 21-year-old striker Julia Zigiotti.

And here's the half-time whistle. England could easily lose heavily, she could easily be equal, she could easily win. One of those matches. It's a wonderful entertainment. More soon!

45 min +6: Parris runs on the Swedish back line. She slips the ball into the right inner channel for White, face to face with Lindahl! White pushes unconvincingly down to the right; the guardian pulls out a leg and the pirate clears. England so close to getting into the terms!

45 min +4: Houghton tries to hand the ball over to Telford, who does not come to claim. Blackstenius blocks an instinctive effort on the goalkeeper … and just above the bar. There is a VAR test for a potential penalty, the ball having touched Houghton's shoulder, but that would have been far beyond ridicule. We play

45 min +3: Bronze and Parris combine well on the right, the latter reaching the front line and cutting a cross in the center. Lindahl claims quite easily.

45 min +2: Mead gets some treatment after finishing second in a 50-50 challenge with Sembrant. An opportunity for players to take a little more water. It's very hot in Nice.

44 min: Moore has a frustrated kick to Asllani and is lucky enough not to get into the referee's notebook. However, it is a free kick which means that Jakobsson sends a docile effort to Telford from a distance.

43 min: Jakobsson in Greenwood on toast. She again pbades in front of her on the right, only to send her out of the game for a goal kick. England has found its way into this match, but it still has to solve this problem.

42 min: But England is given a free-kick to the left. However it ends in joke. Mead takes a cheeky one before the whistle is blown. The ball went safely towards Lindahl, everyone was waiting for the referee to resume the match. The referee simply pbades the game. Very strange.

40 min: Kirby cuts to the left and pbades a nice cross ball to Parris, who kills the ball and kills a cross in the blender. Kirby, now in the box, claims to have been pushed back by Jakobsson, but neither the referee nor the VAR are interested.

39 min: Asllani reports a clearance straight into the park. Blackstenius, who has remained silent by his own standards, has almost managed to pbad McManus, but the substitute defender is doing extremely well to stay in his positions and push the striker back. "A difficult decision from the VAR," says Mary Waltz. "Bite the ball and keep the pressure, attack, attack, attack!"

37 min: Scott throws a free kick into the Swedish penalty area from the left. Lindahl claims quite easily. Little kindness to England: they have at least some momentum and have given food for thought to Sweden.

35 min: But this was refused. When the Whites surround Sembrant along the left inner cbad, the ball reclines on his right arm. Thus, for the second consecutive game, the Whites have a goal dismissed by VAR. White is furious, saying that she could not do anything about it. But it's the call.

And in a flash, England is level! Mead crosses from a deep position on the left. White brings the ball back to the goal, turns Sembrant past Lindahl to get to the bottom of the net!
