Deep women's football cut: Sam, Kerr Ladies
― Bash Street Kids: Endgame (Bananaman Begins), Sunday, 9 June 2019 12:25 (four years ago) link
feel like the nu-var era we are in where ref assistants can't flag for offside until the attacking phase is completed is changing the game in some fundamental way that i can't articulate but am uneasy with.
― oscar bravo, Sunday, 9 June 2019 12:34 (four years ago) link
Oh fucking hell. That one was slightly offside tbf, but even a legit close offside now feels like its ruining the game.
― Bash Street Kids: Endgame (Bananaman Begins), Sunday, 9 June 2019 12:40 (four years ago) link
australia play with such a stupidly high line that every game they play will have like 5 var reviews.tbf all the initial decisions by the on field officials have been proved correct. i'd probably prefer the law to be if any of the attackers body is onside then they are onside rahter than if any of their body is offside then they're offside.

italy winner 5th minute of stoppage time!!

Well deserved!

Yay! As noted by the bbc commentator, australia didn't seem to get the 'no diving in womens football' memo
― Bash Street Kids: Endgame (Bananaman Begins), Sunday, 9 June 2019 12:57 (four years ago) link
Glad I caught the last ten minutes of that.

Barbara Bonansea was destined for a great tournament

Think Australia will win the next two and go through but
a) a bit sloppy/nervous todayb) think they're slightly overrated in general / have had messy behind the scenes stuff disrupt preparationsc) their troubles in defense are well known
Not a bad match between Brazil and Jamaica but that second Christiane goal probably seals it.

If this hour long BBC puff piece on 'England's World Cup Lionesses' doesn't fire up the Scottish nation to get 100% behind Scotland's women's team I don't know what can.

Football - 22 people chase the ball for 90 minutes and at some point someone gets the ball tanned off their arm in the box.

Challop: every penalty given in the tournament so far has been a dreadful decision.
― Elitist cheese photos (aldo), Sunday, 9 June 2019 16:24 (four years ago) link
In retrospect they should probably have given the BBC a proper studio rather than expecting them to make themselves heard over the half time noise.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 9 June 2019 17:19 (four years ago) link
Well this is getting interesting...

xxp even Spain's second penalty? I agree that the handball situation is getting out of, er, hand
― Bash Street Kids: Endgame (Bananaman Begins), Sunday, 9 June 2019 21:17 (four years ago) link
Was that the one with the sending off? If so, especially that one - poor, scuffed clearance and follows through way too far but her leg is fully extended and the Spaniard runs into it.

35 minutes into Japan / Argentina and I don’t recall anyone having a shot.
― ShariVari, Monday, 10 June 2019 16:36 (four years ago) link
Argentina with an impressive commitment to a 10-0-0 formation
― imago, Monday, 10 June 2019 17:13 (four years ago) link
For all that, that might have been the most emotional end to a 0-0 draw at that level I've seen in a long while.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 10 June 2019 17:59 (four years ago) link
I remember their goalie from the it 2007 11-0 defeat to Germany. Think she scored two own goals in that one.

love when the dutch fans break out the verdi. holland starting like they're a goal down with only 5 mins left to score
― oscar bravo, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 13:05 (four years ago) link
cracking start. lovely strike off the bar for new zealand. right-to-left diagonals working for holland.
― oscar bravo, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 13:13 (four years ago) link
Feel like the key to breaking thru here for the Dutch will be getting the full backs much further free to free up space for Martin's and Van de sanden. But can see why they're reluctant because NZ are playing two up top and look dangerous on the counter.
― oscar bravo, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 13:40 (four years ago) link
Japan vs Argentina was dire yesterday but thought the Japan #3 was really good.
― oscar bravo, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 13:41 (four years ago) link
That is an horrific miss from holland

Same barrage with no result so far

the USA are going to have to give us all the goals we've been missing out on. or will Thailand offer similar resistance?

And now...rain.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 17:33 (four years ago) link
And with that game on pause Fox has taken to a LOT of USWNT bus shots and groups of fans.

Hold on, a football game got stopped because it was raining?

chile defended p well all game then were totally pish and for 2 goals in the last 10 minutes
(second was a nice piece of individual play to be fair to the swedish number 7 but given so much space)

I'm enjoying seeing a team knock it around so competently. There's a gap between France, USA, England and the rest, from what I've seen
― imago, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 19:16 (four years ago) link
Definitely. Just wanted to see a non-penalty goal that is more about play and strategy

I love Rapinoe. She's cultivated a lack of fucks to give that more women require earlier on in age.

The White House on Wednesday said in a statement that the president will send a delegation to France for the Women's World Cup final on Sunday, where the USWNT will face the winner of Wednesday's Netherlands-Sweden semifinal.
Six women make up the group. They are: Karen Dunn Kelley, Deputy Secretary of Commerce; Jamie D. McCourt, U.S. Ambassador to France and Monaco; Josephine K. Olsen, director of the Peace Corps; Seema Verma, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; Marie Royce, Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs; Shauna Rohbock, U.S. Army National Guard and former pro soccer player, and Kelly Loeffler, CEO of Bakkt and co-owner of the Atlanta Dream.

Rapinoe's World Cup has to be up there with the greatest all-time talk-and-back-it-up performances in sports history. Tangle with a President and win World Cup and MVP? A socially conscious athlete pilloried for patriotism? No one will *ever* be Ali, but there's Ali in Rapinoe.— Jason Gay (@jasongay) July 7, 2019
