spoilt watching france/germany/usa/japan of late perhaps but lol what are they all doing
ehh if I can only choose between unrefined bluster with actual penalty area content and meek triangle passing that rarely if ever bothers the goalmouth I'm more in the mood for the former of those

yeah but this is just a mess
an exciting mess, no doubt

been a crazy number of free kicks

and there's the ref howler

great result tbh
based on watching Japan earlier I can envisage England overrunning them albeit via extreme purist-irking

getting a bit of a 'if Princess Di had lived' vibe from the German coach
her team could politely be described as tenacious in their zeal to boot Megan Rapinoe out of the game
USA are so more accomplished and drilled than anyone else afaict but Alex Morgan has missed two sitters and have probably forfeited most psychological advantage for the second half. enjoyable game tho

lol Megan Rapinoe's gf used to be in Band of Horses (thx wikipedia)

Germany have had enough of waiting for the USA to score and are maybe going forward this half? Encouraging if so
― rahrah avis (imago), Wednesday, 1 July 2015 00:12 (nine years ago) link
Germany pen, not much in it but enough

it was a completely obvious penalty and an extremely lucky yellow card tbh

glad they scored another one tho so the story won't be all about that foul being outside of the box
― Spottie, Wednesday, 1 July 2015 06:52 (nine years ago) link
deffo, was a well worked goal also
ilx stopped working for me last night but yeah the US were p misshapen and not very good in the second half, Rapinoe did next to nothing. the Japan team wd be more likely to punish a repeat of that than the England one (this is all armchair punditry based on watching bits of this WC but we're taking that as a given right)

you just feel the japanese have better ball control.
perhaps there are too many foreign players in the english women's league.
don't blame the manager, blame the players.
we coach our kids to win games at under 9s - this doesn't happen in tokyo.
it's time we invested in our youth women's game.
