Women's World Cup 2019

[Lord Camomile]

Just occurred to me we'd be playing Netherlands if we'd come second. Certainly think they'd be a tougher prospect than Cameroon (especially given they beat us just before the tournament ).

Only listening on the radio, but flicked the video on to watch the two goals. Very nice from the Japanese, love a proper passing move

 

[Maggot]

Really enjoying this game, quality football and could go either way.

Yup

I am liking the way Japan are playing. Netherlands are strong at the back but one clever ball or mistake could change that.

 

[Steel Icarus]

So unlucky

 

[Steel Icarus]

That's twice now that Pearce has said "perilously close to..." followed by a positive; that time it was "Japan perilously close to getting through to the quarter finals"

 

[hash tag]

Pearce. Why Pearce, just why

 

[editor]

Harsh penalty that.

 

[belboid]

The new rule cannot last

 

[editor]

Bollocks.

 

[mx wcfc]

That's harsh on Japan - they've been the better side. That was a pen though.

 

[editor]

The commentating is awful.

 

[Steel Icarus]

So undeserved. But if you don't score when you're dominating...

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Lucky lucky lucky.

 

[editor]

Come on Japan!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Harsh penalty that.

Even harsher yellow card! That's mad.

 

[D'wards]

Feel for Japan. Hope they can get one now

 

[editor]

Where the fuck was the foul there?

 

[hash tag]

Is it Jackie Oakley on R5....terrible.
not very confident, always asking for reassurance....
heard her for palace matches

 

[Steel Icarus]

Where the fuck was the foul there?

Shoved the kneeling defender in the back.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

She sat on the ball.

 

[D'wards]

Where the fuck was the foul there?

There wasnt one. The Dutch player knelt in over the ball.

 

[editor]

Swizz.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Surprised no mention of dutch keeper for player of the match. Holland's best player, which says it all really.

 

[Steel Icarus]

The new rule cannot last

I agree. It's pathetic. When you move, your arms move. And she was a yard from.the striker. You can't have players running around like penguins in the box

And she did all she could to pull her arm away. As for a yellow card for that, I'm just gobsmacked by that. Cautioned for reckless possession of arms.

 

[Argonia]

Christ the Dutch manager was actually smiling just now

Was looking forward to a close for victory tomorrow, but England Women's World Cup camp hit by 'virus'

A reason the Americans are not so well liked and hey, guess what love, you haven't won anything yet and you haven't yet been invited ! Allez France.
