Yeeeees! Get in

I thought Japan might be too good for Sweden before the game, but for most of the game the Swedes did everything right and used their physical advantages very well. I really wanted them to win after the dive for the pen, I hate that kind of snidery. Japan did well to force their way back in, and I thought the Swedish boss made bad decisions with his late subs (apart from Hurtig).

I couldn't understand where the 10 mins. stoppage time came from but it made for a very tense and exciting finish.

Never a penalty - a deliberate stumble - but justice was done...and if the Japanese girl did head the rebound in it wouldn't have counted as you can't touch the ball twice.

Coach should've changed things earlier, if they did get an equaliser Sweden would've probably folded in extra time

Japan never expected Sweden to go after them, took them 70 min to figure it out. Really after the swedish shot hit the post in their 1st half, it should have been apparent that Japan's counter was getting eaten alive and they came out in the 2nd half w/ the same style.

Not sure how I feel about Arsenal Vs Forest going up against the England game

Obviously Sky and TNT have paid their money and have no reason to do the terrestrial channels any favours, but would it kill them to let the women have their slot unopposed given the importance of the match?

Over here this Leagues Cup between MLS and Liga MX has been clashing with WWC for the entire tournament. Can’t stop this money train.

I can't see France or Australia troubling England. Got to beat Colombia first of course, and they look better than these two.

Technically you can win the league scoring 0 goals

Up the forced-them-into-an-own-goal Toffees

Not sure you can. Could you show your working out?

 

[PITA]

Got the Australia v France on the TV. It's a bloody disgrace, I've got to say. All those 'ultra nationalists' in the crowd. @Kev The Rat you surely must agree.

 

[PITA]

But if that were the case, the bookies would have the odds for all clubs as equal. All at 20-1 as their chances of winning it were equal in this meritocratic Premier League.
The bookies odds reflect the reality that the Premier League is not a meritocracy, that real world issues like finances and ownership impact significantly and that Football is not now and never has been, a meritocracy. (Although pre 1992 the impacts damaging a meritocratic status were less).
Gone right of topic with this. Apologies.

19/1.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Terrible game this.

 

[Bedfordblue]

If we lose our next match does then mean we get to burn effigies of Lauren James or is that in bad taste these days?
Just need a bit of guidance on the appropriate reaction.

 

[Leylo]

The football in France/Australia is awful..seen better games in the park

 

[Rita_Poon]

such poor penalties.

 

[Rita_Poon]

keeper hits post twice... wow
