Women’s World Cup France 2019, 7 June - 7 July

Well this is getting interesting...

xxp even Spain's second penalty? I agree that the handball situation is getting out of, er, hand

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.

Argentina with an impressive commitment to a 10-0-0 formation

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.

I remember their goalie from the it 2007 11-0 defeat to Germany. Think she scored two own goals in that one.

Don't know if anyone mentioned it on ILX at the time

😐

Japan really Spained that up

love when the dutch fans break out the verdi. holland starting like they're a goal down with only 5 mins left to score

cracking start. lovely strike off the bar for new zealand. right-to-left diagonals working for holland.

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.

Japan vs Argentina was dire yesterday but thought the Japan #3 was really good.

That is an horrific miss from holland

Some big whiffs

This can't possibly end without goals

And you were right. But what a crazy match.

don't fancy chile's chances here. sweden are asking all the questions

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.

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?

Lightning storm

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)

this will be ten

USA etc

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

BBC commentator already in funeral mode

omg FIFA don't want it to be ten. It will still be ten

Thailand have a 5ft5 keeper :-(

Probably the tallest woman in Thailand tbf.

Get this Rapinoe off, she's useless!

(j/k)

FIFA strikes again!

If I had money on ten goals or more I'd be much more furious but those were absolute joke decisions. Can we get VAR working?

Yeah i mean death to the great satan obv, but those were just silly. Of course, it could be that VAR were screaming at the ref to give those pens

Ten back on

Ten back Fifteen on

Halfway-ish there

I mean...we're not talking Germany-Brazil 2014 or anything but I typed this tweet and sent it:

Can a World Cup referee use VAR to call up the 'stop stop he's already dead' GIF?

And then I looked back on the feed and they scored another goal.

So I came here to comment, and while I was typing this, they scored ANOTHER goal.

comin off like real bullies here tbh

Nine.

Ten

Ten.

With ten minutes to spare. I shouldn't have fretted

xp :)

Fuck the men's team, the women deserve to be paid twice as much as the dudes

This...is a thing.
