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

i would still rather no var at all for anything tho

Starting as we mean to go on.

Penalty and VAR check in first minute.

Lol. VAR check taking three minutes. No pen

Correctly overturned.

nice sclaff that went out for a shy there.

teams look quite evenly matched here, dutch are asking the questions at the moment tho

and they've just hit the post, so close

Turning into a pretty tense match here!

Excellent goal there.

Yeah that was good, she set it up herself.

Even match, this is quite enjoyable.

Nigeria currently going out on disciplinary record, as it stands.

Oof, Cameroon own goal so Nigeria back in.

good pass for Beerensteyn's goal, or as I call it a cross to bear

:D

Looks like the other match will be a draw, putting both teams out. Cameroon dominated what I saw but scored a horrendous sliced own goal. Very cruel.

Cameroon score!

Wonderful end to Camweroon-NZ, deserved win

Everyone has collapsed. Last kick of the game. Really nice goal.

uh Cameroon even

best moment of this thing so far surely

it's great when there's a game where both teams need to score so they both just leave 5 players up. also great when the referee spends an entire minute of stoppage time lecturing the players when they all want to get on with it

cameroon's final attack was great

Chile will go through instead of Cameroon w/ a big win v Thailand tho right?

Just saw that second Cameroon goal, it ruled.

I am not sure the table I am looking at is correct but it would suggest Chile would go through at Nigeria’s expense, not Cameroon’s but idk.

chile need to win by 3 to be on the same goal difference as both

would have more goals for in that case than nigeria. if that's even what determines it lol

i checked, it is what determines it

That didn't take long

Rather.

Terrible goal to concede for Sweden. The corner kick wasn't even hit convincingly

I really don't get why they're making the ref check this herself. Just call the goal. Lloyd was offside but a Swede got to it first, no offside.

Is that a new offside law or something? She was totally interfering with play. Does she have to touch the ball to be offside now?

yeah she was interfering with play and her head was clearly offside

bastards

you're welcome

Fun Fact: I tweeted this last year but for all of you who are fans of both the #USWNT and Phish: recent goal scorer Tobin Heath & Page McConnell grew up in the same house (Page in the 70s/80s, Tobin in the 90s/00s). I live two houses down. (CC: @bizarchive) #phish #WWCFIFA2019

Same call in the Australia v Brazil game iirc so at least they're consistent.

Thailand are making Chile work hard. 1-0 thanks to another own goal but two more needed.

Chile have brought on a 4’10” midfielder who could have improbably scored a header a few minutes ago.

official explanation for the non-offside is that the clearing defender 'had no idea where the attacker was'

disband fifa

don't think there's any chance of chile doing this sadly.

both ma teams oot in the group stage, magic.

lol and chile score 2-0

Shocking keeping. Can’t see Chile not getting another.

official explanation for the non-offside is that the clearing defender 'had no idea where the attacker was'

harsh but fair :)

Grez is determined to get that headed goal.

LBI you are a rogue!!

just started watching the Chile-Thailand game and the Thai keeper basically waved the ball into the goal and where's the shrug ascii

Penalty check

actually must be a penalty

If they’re giving penalties for that, I give up.

you can't have a penalty after you've shot, that is basically a thing

she comes with feet studs up and catches a player after the ball is gone. a foul anywhere on the park, bolo

Haha
