If that Spain free kick had gone in at the end, it would have been drawn lots between them and Costa Rica to stay in. Great goals from Korea.

Reckon the Aussies can end Brazil's run

Funny how Brazil and Japan are the only nations with 100% record, but have really had trouble scoring goals. Meanwhile, the Swiss finish 3rd after scoring 10 in a game, rather like Hungary in the men's WC82 (but there was no opportunity for 3rd-placed teams to progress in that event).

this ought to be one of the better balanced 2nd round matches

idiotic, idiotic goalkeeping leads to corner, leads to goal, england made a sub during the corner too, never change, never learn

when you're not even surrounded by the imagination-free cloggers you're supposed to be playing with it's hard to be great

think they've been more chokey than anything, passing was terrible first half but they've picked up a little.
work has been taking its toll tho, eyelids drooping badly, won't make extra time.

more about how the officiating is bad rather than how broads can't referee

the refereeing in this tournament has been fucking diabolical and the players deserve better
at the very least a video review system should have been implemented to help the referees

word. i don't know enough to really figure out the officiating deficiencies beyond like outrageous shit. do you have any particular examples?

posting a stylised glamour shot to combat sexism, sure
― rahrah avis (imago), Saturday, 27 June 2015 01:30 (eight years ago) link
the game is about players, not referees
the best female referees should be allowed into the men's game, the best male referees into the women's game. referee gender is almost completely irrelevant. referee ability unfortunately is and this tournament's referees have made a string of catastrophic errors
so no i didn't mean 'replace all the women refs they don't know the rules', i meant 'a nice mix of male and female with video assistance pls'
clearly wanting the players to be helped by good officiating is sexist tho
― rahrah avis (imago), Saturday, 27 June 2015 01:33 (eight years ago) link
*unfortunately isn't, even
like, obviously it'd be great to have competent female officials everywhere and they will doubtless improve along with the players, but there is a need for the highest available standard of officiating at any major tournament, surely

presumably the powers that be will have quietly noticed the clownshoes reffing and will hopefully spend a bunch of money/effort in getting it up to snuff over the next four years
Japan are nice to watch in a slightly bloodless Swansea-circa-2012 kind of way
