I reckon it's an automatic one match ban with the possibility of reviewing and extending it, I don't think it's automatically three.

Yes, but don't a committee review it before a three match ban is handed down? It was nasty, but not violent imho.

Yipchaa!
It's a tricky one.
It certainly doesn't feel like it was intended to do any serious physical harm, but at the same time it was essentially violence, as it had nothing to do with the game and was purely about sticking one on an opposition player (i.e. wasn't just a very badly timed/executed challenge).
Ha, ok, we've put it in essentially opposite terms!

Right - on to Australia Denmark
I can watch this one without one eye on my diazepam tabs.

Kelly looked too nervous walking up to the spot but instead of folding she took a bit to get hold of herself. How often do players walk up like a bag of nerves and lose themselves.

Actually scratch that, it probably was violent conduct. I tend to think of VC as 'something Roy Keane would do' which is setting the bar too high

They marked her out as the one to watch. Stifled and niggled at her all game and she obviously let it get to her eventually Like Beckham she will learn from it and come back with something to prove.

Loved how Chloe Kelly went straight to the Nigerian goalie upon winning to console her AND waved the camera away.
Yes a few England players went over I think didn't they, always nice to see

Yuuuup, just noticed that the Netherlands' next match, against Spain, has a k/o much more friendly to North America than Europe: 2am GMT.Mention of how Netherlands and USA finished in their group reminded me: I'm pretty sure FIFA expected USA to win the group, given the k/o times of the respective matches
Their prev match against RSA was at 3am GMT, and both are the only matches in the knockout stages with a k/o before 8am GMT

And what she did wasn't actually dangerous - unlike some of the challenges that looked like they were making a back for an opponent trying to head the ball. Fall from height can fuck you up if you land awkwardly.

It's literally anyone's. I think Australia will do it with all their fans behind them.

Exasperated, not angry.
Them, probably. I am tempted to put money on that for one semi & England-Aus for the other. Anyone could win from then on - tho England are probably more likely to beat Australia, which makes them favourites by default.

Haven't seen enough of it to say, but Japan getting the rave reviews.

Presumably that counterintuitive thing of odds per team at this point (poss. England) v odds at the point of being in the final (Spain or Japan may well be favourites against England.

back on the other side
JA the big underdog story.... Fingers crossed for them
