#Itscominghome. The Three Lions of England continued their slow but sure march towards their first world cup final in decades with a steely 2-0 win over Sweden.

The US Women’s National Football Team (USWNT) has been kicked out of the Rio Olympics by Sweden, after a 1-1 draw in regulation time led to a 4-3 loss on penalties in the first quarter final game of the tournament.
The US had the lion’s share of possession and created the best chances, but failed to capitalise, and in the end were punished by a plucky Swede side.
