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

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.

Eleven

what was the spread

My abacus 404'd

Golden Boot is fucked now, is the downside

let it be known that if usa wins 13-0 they will jinx themselves and lose the cup

Seriously though, wouldn't a WC with 16 teams make more sense? Bottom tier is cannon fodder, way beyond 'they'll lose but it's a good lesson'.

(13-0)

i honestly feel uncomfortable watching games like this, like please hammer

Yeah.. :-/

was the three minutes of stoppage time really necessary

Lol there was a quip about that from the Fox commentator about the possibility of goal differential coming into play later in the tournament

GirLs aRe MeAn

Damn it, I had £1.50 on 14-0.

fwiw Thailand have beaten local minnows by comparable margins so don’t feel too sorry for them.

Sprinting to keep it in play at 13-0 in the 90th minute. The coach leaping up to pump fists and high five for the 13th goal. Extremely small time

did they even sub anyone

Feels a bit like I've eaten about three tubs of ice cream now

Not feeling sorry for them as much as I'm wondering why (how?) they're here at all. I think USA's display proves how fast women's football is developing. With a fast evolution, the margin between the highest standard and mediocrity is enormous. Germany (men) beat Estonia 8-0 tonight; same diff, but it happened in qualification.

(I put € 1.00 on 15-0 just after half time)

The thirteenth goal was the culmination of about four minutes of exclusively trying to get the ball to their ageing legend and succeeding, tbf

No small feet

(sry)

too much fucking perspective

The United States Women's National Team has scored 13 World Cup goals today.

The United States Men's National Team has scored 13 World Cup goals in the past 6,202 days.

I noticed the scoreline thanks to Ned's tweets at 8-0. I was leaving my desk for a work function and in the time it took me to walk from my desk to the function, they had scored two goals.

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

I imagine FIFA will be eyeing viewing figures nervously after this.

for all you fancying australia before this tournament, they needed a 91st minute goal to draw with thailand in the recent asia cup

and even then only won on penalties

seeing players go wild over scoring rout-number goals against obviously inferior opposition is weird but I feel like that's a matter of unspoken etiquette rather than anything more innate, and that you could make an only partway contrarian case for the polite smile and handshake to mark your ninth against minnows being the more arrogant gesture

Yeaahhhhh, I think that's more than partway contrarian tbh.

i liked the old italian football thing of when you were 5 up or so just totally taking the foot of the gas and having an uncompetitive snooze fest for the remainder of the game

I'm sympathetic to the argument that that you best respect opponents by always competing your hardest, but even i thought the us celebrations were verging on the sociopathic

Iirc that italian football thing traditionally kicks in at 1-0 up

Commentator just said that the ref for this Nigeria vs South Korea game actually played for Russia in a previous world cup which is p cool.

Quite the own goal from Korea there. Shame because they'd started well.

xp North Korean ref for Cameroon v Canada did likewise

Bizarre own goal there.

Totally crazy.

Incredibly soft pen.

Who'd have thought it?

hoofing someone in the knee at full pelt has traditionally been frowned upon iirc ime. granted Norway would have got away with it sans VAR
