Enjoyable game. There was a bad challenge in there by Stanway I think? The Swedish girl just jumped straight back up and a yellow card was given. In men's football they would have been rolling around on the floor for 10mins and all her teammates surrounding the ref trying to get a red card.
I've no doubt that assuming no-one has picked up a knock it will be the same team for the final, but I really think Russo should be starting ahead of White. White's been a great player for England, but I don't buy the narrative that White tires out the defence to allow the space for Russo when she comes on. Russo just looks more mobile, quicker, harrasses defences more, gets more involved in the build up play and more of a goal threat.
