AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND host:

The Groups:

Can't say I'm that familiar with any teams, as far as I remember USA and Sweden were the strong teams to beat.

Current ranking: Women's Ranking

I’m looking forward to it. A shame England have a number of key injuries which might put them out of the running, but I’d still love to see them go as far as possible. I really enjoyed the Euros.

Otherwise will be interesting to see who can stand up to the US.

Middle of the night football!

There are a lot of key injuries out there for a lot of countries. It really sucks.

Oh no.

Hate it when a tournament loses a number of its great players. Also for me it’s even worse for a women’s international tournament as I rely on these to get to know the best players and don’t see them as much in club games (not due to lack of interest, just not enough time to watch every sport). Hopefully it can still be a big success regardless with that positive vibe throughout that the last ones had.

Thanks. Oh it’s pretty soon! I’m on a phone call at the time but going to try and have it on at the same time (as well as the cricket - The Ashes).

 

[Iceman]

England miss a penalty after a Haiti player pretty much tries to play basketball lol.

Oh actually keeper was off the line so retake.

Goal!! Stanway scores. 1-0 after 29 minutes.

ZAMBIA 0 - 5 JAPAN ...yikes!


05:30
ENGLAND 1 - 0 HAITI

08:00
DENMARK 1- 0 CHINA
Nice save at the end.

 

[Iceman]

Finished 1-0 to England. Great for Haiti to run us so close, no goals from open play.

 

[Breogan]

Latest scores:
SWEDEN 2 - 1 SOUTH AFRICA
NETHERLANDS 1 - 0 PORTUGAL

FRANCE 0 - 0 JAMAICA
BRAZIL 0 - 0 PANAMA

ITALY 1 - 0 ARGENTINA
GERMANY 6 - 0 MOROCCO

Germany looks like the dominant team to beat, good set-pieces, headers, and chaos in the box producing some lucky points, poor Morocco had at least one good shot, though just a step off side.

Edit:
Kinda lost track, think this closes out the First round of the Group Stage.
COLOMBIA 2 - 0 S.KOREA

Good to see Japan winning. I hope they go far and are a threat.

Good to see Japan winning. I hope they go far and are a threat.

Japan are definitely one of the stronger showings so far.
I can see Japan and Spain coming out of the top of group C
They will have to play each-other next, should be a great game for a group stage.

CANADA 2 -1 IRELAND
US 1 - 1 NETHERLANDS
Dutch put up good fight.

PORTUGAL 2 - 0 VIETNAM
AUSTRALIA 2 -3 NIGERIA

ARGENTINA 2 - 2 S.AFRICA
Great game, would have liked to have seen a winner, though (besides that disastrous offside assumption) this was well fought.

 

[Breogan]

China 1 - 0 Haiti


England 1 - 0 Denmark
Good strike out the gate 5min in, is all they needed. Yeah I know these games othrrwise =:
England sitting comfortably at the top of Group D.

Though that Walsh injury will cost them, at 1:54 at least she knew it was over.

 

[Iceman]

Another 1-0 win, I'll take it. Just want to get through the opening stages without too many worries and bring our best later in the knockout rounds.

 

[Iceman]

England beat China 6-1. Nice to see a bunch of goals.

Also US had a scare against Portugal who hit the post late on. If that had gone in it could have been curtains for the US having lost to Netherlands and drawing with Portugal.

 

[Iceman]

Oh and I put this post below from a while ago in the wrong thread:

I didn’t realise Keira Walsh got injured. Damn, that’s 4 key players out for England now (Leah Williamson, Beth Mead and Fran Kirby before the World Cup started). Our chances took a huge hit.

 

[Breogan]

Vietnam 0 - 7 Netherlands
Portugal 0 - 0 US
China 1 - 6 England


Arg- 0 - 2 Sweden (Argentina and Italy out!)
Panama 3 - 6 France
Jamaica 0 - 0 Brazil (tie leaves Brazil suprisingly out of the 16)

Though some clear stand outs, Japan, England, Sweden (won all their games), those dramatic high score differences mostly ending, 2 games left as the Round of 16 get cemented - fifa

Morocco - Colombia
S.Korea - Germany

 

[Breogan]

Morocco 1 - 0 Colombia
S.Korea 1 - 1 Germany

With that, Colombia was safe (either way), Morocco learn they got their spot, while Germany are out.

Just saw that Germany are out! Big shock. They beat Morocco who qualified above them 6-0!

 

[Breogan]

Spain 5 - 1 Switzerland
Japan 3 - 1 Norway

Two great games, both Spain (despite that beautifully curled own gol ) and Japan , both come out strong, and first through to the 1/4s.
Spain's Aitana Bonmatí delivers again, and Japan's Miyazawa continues out-pacing, out-shooting everyone, outstanding run.
Would love it if this leads to a possible rematch in the semi-final.

Tonight:
Netherlands - S.Africa
