30-0

...and will celebrate the 30th and all those before as if they had won the final in extra time, just like against thailand.

The final will be USA v Germany or a Scandinavian country. It usually is.

Funny thing is that has never actually been a final.

USA have won the last 2 World Cups, and have 4 World Cup wins in total from the 8 that have took place. Germany have 2 wins - the last in 2007

Think in order (ish) dependng whats looked at, The Favs are USA, England, Spain, Germany, Australia, France Sweden, Holland, Brazil, and Canada - something like that.


The Last 5 W/C Finals

USA beat Holland in 2019
USA beat Japan in 2015
Japan beat USA on Pens in 2011
Germany beat Brazil in 2007
Germany beat Sweden in 2003

They've not had a great 12 months or so, France are going into it in pretty good form. Aussies at home will fancy their chances.

Ireland's first appearance at the WC but have a really hard group
Australia
Canada
Nigeria

Would be amazing to get through the group but gonna be extremely difficult. First match is the opener against the hosts. It was moved from a 40k seater stadium to an 80k seater stadium due to ticket demand. 4k travelling over from Ireland but Oz is full of young Irish guys and gals so expect it to be 60-40 or even 50-50 in terms of attendance.

Really loooking forward to it.

Common mate they didn’t move it to an 80k stadium because the Irish were banging down the door for 45k more tickets.

The Tillies sold out 50k on Friday night for their “send off” match. Expect the matches to be very well attended. they are priced very respectably and Australia has a lot bigger interest in football the rest of the world realise and also a very multicultural community that will be out supporting theirs roots.

The vibes are high in the street!

If we're playing a women's world Cup drinking game I really don't want the word "empowered" ... I'd be bladdered before kick off.

Ironically the word shot would leave you sober.

I jest of course, I'm sure it will be a very exciting tournament.

 

[WA Toffee]

I've got tickets for 3 games
Denmark v China
Jamica v Panama
Morocco v Colombia

I'm sure it won't be quite the same as tickets for 5 games at the Maracana in 2014, but still looking forward to it

Imagine how drunk you would be if you had to have a sip of beer every time someone popped in here to make a patronising comment

 

[WA Toffee]

So who is favourite to win this thing? USA?

Sam Kerr hat trick in the final

It’s going to ramp up depressingly once the games begin. People that aren’t even watching will be more than happy to talk about how rubbish it apparently is.

Not sure if this has been posted on here in a different thread but this is a great advert

You're right.

I've coached girls teams and a women's team two decades before rhe current bandwagon sparked up. I'd never dream of patronising any, but nor would I pretend they're anything near the men's game - as illustrated when a Wrexham team of retired non-league players played the women's World champion USA team and what was the score? 12-0. Quietly passed over by the media.

Shall we talk parity of pay now? When the women's game brings in the same audiences and viewers as does the men's game (and its certainly beginning to head that way) then there will be parity of pay. For women to say they should be paid the same as men is just as absurd as a League 2 player wanting parity with a Premier league mercenary because theyre pkay in the same game, irrespective of attendances or skill.
