I'm exhausted already and it wasn't even following a team I support.
Please England, don't do this to me.

Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
I feel like I could cry. As a neutral, what a game of emotion. It took Australia three attempts to win on penalties!
What a moment, that's huge.

BreakingAUSTRALIA ARE INTO THE SEMI-FINALS
The Matildas are going where they've never been before, into a World Cup semi-final.
Incredible drama! What a World Cup and it's nowhere near done yet.
GOAL - Australia 7-6 France
Cortnee Vine
Wow!
The spot kick goes just to the left of the keeper, nice and low with too much pace on it and Australia are through!
She wheels away and is engulfed by the squad and management as the stadium explodes with noise.
What a moment!

Third time's a charm for Australia?
MISSED PENALTY - Australia 6-6 France
Naomie Feller
The 19-year-old sent Arnold the wrong way, but her low effort hits the base of the post to leave Australia a kick away from the semis!
SAVED - Australia 6-6 France
Clare Hunt
Durand went to her right, but she kept her left hand up and got enough on it to deny Australia!
Post update
It counts and this next penalty is to win it.

Saved again! The foot was on the line, she went to her left again and Arnold saves one-handed!
Post update
The penalty will be retaken! Arnold was off her line!
Video Assistant Referee
Drama! We're checking it.
SAVED - Australia 6-6 France

Arnold guesses it correctly and saves to her left - but did she come off her line illegally?
GOAL - Australia 6-6 France
Ellie Carpenter
Wow! To the keeper's right, low and in off the post! Great penalty - again!
GOAL - Australia 5-6 France
Maelle Lakrar
Arnold goes to her right, but that's easy to send the ball just off centre to put France back ahead.
