Does the UEFA app allow you to watch the games on demand (it didn't the last time I looked, maybe for the last women's Euro) or only live? Just back from the UK so haven't tried to watch a game in NZ yet. Hoping for an easy way to watch the England game around lunch time tomorrow - the live time is a bit awkward.
Otherwise, I'm well versed at using BBC and ITV apps with a VPN etc (although a bit hit and miss on the work wifi!).

Hip, you can watch them live on the app.

Thanks, I meant are the replays available on demand later or are the games only live? I can't watch live tomorrow.
Just downloaded the app to look and I can't see any replays for earlier games, only highlights,  so I guess that's a no go. Bit of a shame for a streaming platform not have on demand but is what it is.

Do you have Disney + and a VPN? If so set your VPN to Mexico and you'll see the match replays.

Thanks.  Don't have Disney+. It's all good,  I'll use ITV player with VPN, just wondered if there was a non VPN option for on demand but seems not.

Second half just started, italy leading England 1 nil.  They look more likely to score again as well

And then Agyemang wrote herself into England history in the 96th minute. Was not expecting that!

What a finish, so so cruel for Italy.

Wow what a game. Someone has to win it and though being the better team, England only just scraped that. But again, they didn't play well or be clinical in front of goal. Whoever wins the other semi final should be the favourite for the final.

I don’t know if this quote is original, but it’s frikkin’ awesome:

Against Sweden, within 11 minutes of coming on to the pitch as a substitute, she delivered on [Wiegman’s] prediction.

"As soon as I got on the pitch Chloe [Kelly] said to me: '
Go and be yourself, go and create havoc, go and change the game,'" Agyemang said.

Germany vs Spain tomorrow 7am NZT.

What an exciting match-up, the country with the most women's Euro titles versus the world champions.
23 Jul 21:15
Germany have done an impressive job shutting Spain down like that, but wow that double save from Coll when she had to bounce off the net!

Looking like it’ll go to penalties…
23 Jul 21:23
¡BONMATÍ!
23 Jul 21:38
Here we go! England vs Spain GF.
23 Jul 21:41
Time to party like it’s 2023!

So who else is getting up at 4am on Monday to watch the final?
23 Jul 23:12
Dam I assumed it would be at 7am, don't think I'll wake up early. Poor Germany.

Here we go! So awesome seeing the stadium packed out like this, and the national anthems being played by a string quartet.

It’s only a few hours since I sat through our own penalty shootout against Perth, so please please don’t let this end the same way.

Oh no…

Agony for Spain (and those of us supporting them), but well deserved England.

Gutted for Paralluelo in particular, she’ll never forget that miss.
27 Jul 19:18
Very tense final. Unfortunately I think Spain saved their poorest performance for it. Maybe you could credit that to Englands defence and organisation for that. But England got there and will enjoy this one.

Always feel bad for the penalty missers.  Worse for people of colour as the racists will be out in force.

Well done England.

Something the men's team haven't done for 59 years.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

Went behind in all three knockout matches but still won the tournament.

Tremendous mental fortitude.

Three for me, and two for them.

Bit of a nightmare trying to watch it this morning. Had a busy weekend and a big work day ahead so just couldn’t do the 4am start. Decided to get up a 6 to watch bit delayed before work. It was on both BBC and ITV and I’ve used both with a VPN or DNS settings many times, although they can be a bit hit and miss as to whether they work (BBC did work for earlier games). Both a miss this morning and after half an hour faffing about with restarting router, devices, DNS settings etc and after much swearing I gave up on that and downloaded the UEFA app again in desperation hoping it would let me watch the live stream from the start even though they don’t provide the on demand replays – figured it should still be going as would either be in extra time or trophy celebrations by then.
 
Thankfully I was able to cover the screen so I could only see the slider and go back to the start. That worked until the live stream ended and then it died so I got to about 60 minutes. Had another go at BBC and ITV and still a no go so went to the trusty reddit football highlights page and someone had already uploaded the full match (BBC version) seemingly within minutes of it finishing. Time to get ready for work by this stage so downloaded it and managed to watch a bit more on the train then the rest at lunch time at work – meant it had to be a muted celebration! In hindsight I should have just got up at 4 and watched the way that was guaranteed to work but just needed the extra bit of sleep today. Bit of a shame UEFA didn’t also have the on demand replays but can’t complain too much when it’s free.

Yet another iconic legendary moment for Chloe Kelly. Somehow doesn't start over the ineffective James but still gets on and makes the difference again. The Arsenal players, Kelly especially, pretty much dragged England to this title. Not a bad couple of months winning the CL and Euros!

i saw a suggestion on Reddit to call it "Curl it like Chloe Kelly".
