FIFA Women's World Cup

Feel a bit sorry for Zambia - 2 x 5-0 defeats. But you can't hold a high line against top teams and then give their midfielders time and space. Both Japan and Spain were getting runners in behind relentlessly. Costa Rica used the low block to minimise the damage.

USA looking like the better team, but the Dutch are up 1-nil midway through the first half

According to commentators, that is the first time that the USA have been behind in a World Cup game since 2011

@stargazer will be in full celebration mode about that.

Bugger.

1-1 after 70 minutes. Don't break out the good salted licorice yet @Stargazer

@Stockcar86 I prefer the sweet black licorice haha.

1-1 Final. Good result for Netherlands

Yesssssssssssssssssssss.

The Netherlands will be the happier of the two teams and were hanging on at the end. They miss Vivianne Miedema up front. The best game so far.

And going forward

I'd much rather be the Netherlands playing Vietnam in my last group match over the US playing Portugal

Great end to the first half for Australia

Up 1-0

And Nigeria equalise with a fortunate deflection and bounce

Aus 1 -1 Nig

Cracking match this

Nigeria score

Deserved

Been coming

Aus 1 -2 Nig

Not an expert but YC?

3-1

Terrible attempt at a back pass

Aus shit the bed

Guess we can go back to not giving a fuck about soccer then...

Huge chance wasted

GOOOOOOAL

Aus 2 - 3 Nig

Thrilling contest

Nigeria deserve the result

All to play for against Canada for Australia

Amazing.

Emotional scenes from the Nigerians.

Just watched highlights of Aus v Nigeria, looked a cracking game. Aus still with a chance, will need to win their last game - any chance of Kerr being fit?

USA should be too good for Portugal. Interesting how Vietnam could hardly muster an attack v Portugal who could hardly muster an attack v Netherlands who could hardly muster an attack v USA.

Just watched the highlights of the SA v Arg match

Looked like the game of the tournament to date

Great weather for a daylight match
Great crowd and atmosphere
Cracking goals
Great drama

SA will be kicking themselves for not securing their first WC win

Great start from England

Cracking strike from James

Eng 1 -0 Den
6 mins

Denmark right back in to this

Could easily be 1-1

I realise this comes across poorly in this day and age, but some of these players are fit as fuck.

That's the half

England go in 1 up

Could easily be 1-1 or 3-0

Denmark deserved that to go in

England hanging on

England ground that one out

Good tournament performance

Need to find some spark if they want to contest for the prize

England 1 - 0 Denmark

What a bullshit call against Haiti

Thought I was watching AFL

VAR
Very arbitrary reffing

Haiti shafted 3 times for penalties

The fix is in

No surprises there. It's Palmerston North. :face_with_tears_of_joy:

My mate's manager's son plays for the Under 14 Oz team.
Brazilian women's team played them in a warm-up.
The 12/13 year-olds beat them three nil.
Thought it was funny.

Can't blame them.....
