ENGLAND FINISHED THEIR memorable Women’s World Cup campaign on a high note with a 1-0 extra-time victory over Germany in Saturday’s third-place play-off.
Both sides had suffered devastating semi-final defeats, England succumbing to Japan courtesy of Laura Bassett’s injury-time own-goal and Germany missing a penalty in their 2-0 loss to United States.
But it was Mark Sampson’s England who managed to bounce back, with Fara Williams’106th-minute penalty proving enough to secure a maiden victory over the world number one-ranked Germany and ensure their best-ever World Cup finish in the process.
Tabea Kemme was the villain for Germany, needlessly hauling Lianne Sanderson down in the box and Williams retained her composure to calmly send Nadine Angerer the wrong way from the spot.

Meath? Controversy?! Never!
Does the ref not record the score. If so what ever he has in his book surely stands
Yes but in spite of all GAA supporters opinion, he’s actually HUMAN and might have made a mistake. If the score is accurate, well done Meath, otherwise replay it is!
Meath controversy maybe, but yet again at the hands of inept officials… No team wants to win or lose like this, GAA have enough resources to manage these games properly, get the finger out
Well Troy, beat tint
Well Troy, best thing you do is grab a whistle and show us all how it is done
Has to be a replay surely?
No Anthony not the case because the point was eventually taken from meath but never given to Antrim. So it would’ve been a draw not a 2 point swing.
How Fr Ted is this?
Surely Meath won’t stand by and take a title they didn’t win , oh wait , sorry I’m thinking out Louth , they probably will.
That ref shouldn’t be allowed to referee an u12 game
What about the ref’s notebook? Surely he has the score in there.
I noticed this live. It still wouldn’t have been a draw as Meath were awarded a point when Antrim scored; therefore a 2 point swing. Antrim won by 1
Didnt see that Sean.. fair enough
Simple solution to Christy Ring draw controversy. Allow both teams compete in All-Ireland Senior C’ship next year.
What did tg4 scoreboard say?
