"
In the UK, the Women's World Cup games are alternating between ITV and BBC — that means you'll be able to use ITVX and iPlayer to watch them, depending on what channel each game is on.
"
i expect there'll be edited highlight shows in the evenings at a sensible time!

This is amazing.

Possibly the greatest advert I've ever seen.

 

[Petcha]

Wow

 

[two sheds]

Enjoyed the first game

 

[Steel Icarus]

Good game, though Norway were poor

 

[Petcha]

Considering nobody in NZ actually plays football and probably barely know this thing is happening that is quite a result

 

[two sheds]

Really good goal NZ looked powerful running on goal in the first half.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Sam Kerr out of Australia's first two games with a calf problem. Shame, she's a great player

 

[Petcha]

That striker is fearsome. NZ's Haaland.

Australia v Ireland coming up at 11am (UK time) on ITV1

Australia v Ireland coming up at 11am (UK time) on ITV1

Despite the defeat in though Ireland played well

 

[inva]

Caught up with the 1st match, Norway hopeless and great performance from New Zealand. Today's the first time I've wanted to mention being half New Zealander for football reasons

 

[belboid]

Hey, hey, USA, how many goals did you score today?


Hopefully it will be pretty close to zero. C’mon ‘nam

[edit: well, that was timed well]

 

[two sheds]

Loved the support that Vietnam were getting - huge sections of the crowd were roaring them on every time they attacked.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Quite excited now. I know it's the first match against a not-top-tier team and you should start slow as a fan but I've been waiting for this for so long.

Surprised Lauren James doesn't start but Sara knows what she's doing and might be leaving her for bigger games or using her as an impact player.

We've got some big misses through injury but that starting lineup is strong and to have Daly and James on the bench is great.

 

[wtfftw]

Asked child if she wanted to watch the football, "no"
"It's women"
"YES!"

Haiti looking dangerous on the break

 

[smmudge]

Great game, unlucky Haiti but it is football not volley ball. Good decisions from the ref so far imo.

 

[hash tag]

I've only watched the second half; Haiti are making England look very poor. The tour beckons.

 

[Steel Icarus]

We're starting to play better now. Russo and Kelly have been great today but I'd like to see Daly score

 

[Petcha]

The best player on the pitch is Haitian. This is pretty shoddy considering the gulf in resources between the two teams.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Props to both goalies today; Haiti's is 5 ft 4 and Mary Earps just kept us in it

 

[Steel Icarus]

The best player on the pitch is Haitian. This is pretty shoddy considering the gulf in resources between the two teams.

Which player?

 

[Petcha]

Which player?

Dumornay (I think). She's been outstanding.

It might have some impact but historically it hasn't really. Plenty poor as shit players became world class. Rivaldo had malnutrition as a kid
