Womens World Cup!

[GodsGift]

It's one of those which probably isn't a penalty but the arm is out so wide you can see what prompted the ref to give it.

 

[smat]

Great dive.

I blame all the foreigners in the French women's league.

 

[The Iron]

Hopefully it will go to pens and the Germans will get beat.

 

[GodsGift]

This ref looks like the Phil Dowd of the women's game, so out of shape.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Do France want to win this?? Their trying their best not to!

 

[SALTIRE]

So do women actually play the same amount of time as the men!?! Man they'll be proper fucked if they do!

 

[Letsby Avenue]

[G-Dragon]

Poor France. Played so much better, especially in the first half. All the penalties were top class, except the last one which was saved.
Would have loved more of Necib, instead we get Angerer now.

Well I'm excited! France v England on Tuesday is the big one and there are so many good sides who are going to fight it off. Holders Japan will be up against it once again while the favourites will surely be the hosts - Canada - and the US. A repeat of the olympic semi would be grrrrrrrrrreat. Then you have France & Germany in Europe although I reckon neither will be either North American team.
I fully expect England to be shit once again.

Not much improvement from 2 years ago then...

France are eliminated, whilst England still have a chance of progression to the semis

 

[Letsby Avenue]

I feel sorry for France.
But Germany v France was one heck of a match.

Fast. Evenly matched. Great bits of skill.Especially the France goal. And the Germany free kick, the swerve on that ball, over the wall into the net but for a blinding last nano-second dive from the keeper.

Terrific match. It's a shame someone had ro lose.

I'll get back to you on that after the weekend. I don't wish for an England defeat and reckon you have a good chance of beating the hosts who have been poor up until now.

Played our hearts out but you got to take your chances at the highest level. The penalty was generous shall we say and Germany wouldn't have equalised from open play. We were better than the best team in the world. That sends a message to the world! Most people who watched the game from start to finish will applaud France more than Germany who just get the job done and ultimately that's what champions are made of. We should have been 2-0 up before the penalty incident.
We'll win it at home in 4 years no doubt. Proud of the girls.

Was just kidding mate, I doubt we will beat Canada to be honest. France are obviously a lot better than us, as was proved in the group stage, but sometimes you just need that bit of luck.

 

[G-Dragon]

USA needs to work a lot harder if they want to beat Germany.

Thing is we're actually very good at penalties. I would have fancied us to progress on penalties against any of the 6 other sides still in contention (well Hope Solo may be a tough keeper to knock out on pens) but Germany just have this ruthlessness about them that is very apparent in the women's game as well. I doubt the US' defending will get them past the Germans and reckon it'll be a Germany/Japan final again.
Don't hold a particular grudge against the Germans but I do hope the Japanese win it. Not bitter though. Nah.

 

[Super_horns]

You get the feeling Germany will just do enough to go all the way.

Just seen the sitter France missed..

 

[mente captus]

will be a though task, especially without the world footballer of the year, but its time to hold both world cups at the same time

 

[thespus]

I was really impressed by France yesterday. Disappointing for them, but.obviously I loved the result. Hate that Germany plays the US in the semi rather than the final, but I'll be rooting for the dual world champion outcome. Very impressive that both sides have made it to this stage of every WWC!

 

[Super_horns]

Japan nicking a late without playing that well.

 

[claret50]

England 1 Canada 0, great goal by the Taylor girl

 

[Veggie Legs]

Got home just in time to watch England, glad I didn't go to bed. 2-0 after 13 minutes.

 

[silkyman]

Perfect header for the second

 

[claret50]

Almost goal number 3, off the woodwork.

 

[claret50]

2-1

 

[Dazza]

She is such a poor keeper.Every game iv seen her play she makes at least one mistake.Makes Massimo Taibi look like a world class keeper.

 

[Leewilson]

Bardsley is so irritating. She looks on the face of it like a top goalkeeper but throws in a stupid mistake nearly every match. As soon as I saw her dive for that ball, I cringed.

 

[Simmie Womble]

This referee is abysmal.

 

[You Orns]

The amount of free kicks given for nothing in this has been ridiculous

I do like Jonathan Pearce's honesty about the referee though!

 

[Dazza]

Should have been a red card.Refs performance has been crap.

 

[Simmie Womble]

We've only gone and done it! Take that Referee!
