English Lionesses beat Brazil in penalty shootout
 Last nights match between the Euros champions against the champions of South America was a thoroughly entertaining game to watch. The English ladies dominated the first half and lead 1-0 at halftime. Brazil regrouped in the 2nd half and exposed weaknesses in the Lionesses defence although many last ditch tackles and good goal keeping kept them at bay until the 93rd minute when Brazil equalised.
There was no extra time played and the match went straight to penalties which saw the Lionesses win.
The ladies World Cup ( to be played in Australia and New Zealand ) starts in July and the English Lionesses are aware that they must tighten up their defences if they hope to win the tournament. England are in group D along with Haiti, Denmark and China and our first game is against Haiti on July 22nd. USA are favourites to win the Cup and we are 2nd favourites. The Lionesses have now gone 30 games unbeaten since Sarina Wiegman became manager.
