I watched the women’s quarter-finals last night, England v Spain. Not a bad game, though an objective judgement would have had Spain ahead on points after 90 minutes, for technical ability, running with the ball and stringing a few passes together. Most shots at goal, from both teams, seemed tame and lacking conviction, which is why extra time was needed. England stayed in the competition with a wonderful solo goal from Georgia Stanway. With a kick that nearly knocked her off her feet, she scored a 'screamer' from outside the penalty box.
Licenced today: the view, from the old slate quarry, of the village of Chapel Stile in Langdale…
