Half-time Germany 2 - 1 Norway. Germany are actually running today, Birgit Prinz looks ten times better than she has done so far, and they were 2-0 with just over 20 minutes gone thanks to Anja Mittag and Renate Lingor. Norway look far from beaten just yet though, Dagny Mellgren getting one back shortly before half-time.

We're about 15 minutes from kick-off in Blackburn and the stands are filling up nicely - lots of English people taking Norway to their hearts, today. Not a day to be in synthetic shirts though - it's incredibly hot and muggy and I'm in an enclosed space with lots of sweaty men in tweed.
Few team changes to report: Germany have dropped Navina Omilade to the bench and brought Britta Carlsson on; Norway start with Stine Frantzen up front and Isabell Herlovsen on the bench. Trine Ronning has also come in for Unni Lehn.
And remember the Euro Haka that we were teased with before the tournament? The German one is currently underway, and there are about 50 local children who are going to get the tongue lashing of their lives when they go to school tomorrow. It's bordering on cruelty it's so awful.
