The first goal was just very well played: a great cross from a girl I don’t even know and a good header goal from Miedema. Then the 2-0 of Van de Donk, which was created because of a wrong back pass from England. The last minute was very open because even if England knew they couldn’t win anymore, they tried very hard, so there was a lot of space on the field and because of that the 3-0 was created: a Dutch player shot it against the English player’s leg and it bumped in. But we have luck with such a great goalkeeper as Van Veenendaal. She really cancelled a few England goals. I think it is inescapable that they get compared to each other. It is the same sport, but they never play each other, so it is a guess who would be better. The only thing the girls didn’t do so well was that they wouldn’t just shoot the ball away while it was in their penalty area but instead chose to solve it in a footballing way and passed it out of the goal area.
