Women’s World Cup 2023

[DuffleCoat]

Women’s game come on leaps and bounds, still a lot of work to do but players like James can lead the way. I’ve enjoyed what I have seen so far.

They have an issue with their goalkeeping though, don’t know if it’s anatomical or technical. Smaller hands, average female height vs large goal dimension thing.

I haven't watched a lot of the tournament, so not going to argue with your point in general, but the Swedish goalkeeper was superb yesterday. One effort that was curling in to the corner produced a save that male professional goalkeepers would have been delighted to make.

Good battling performance by Columbia to put Jamaica out. Next up for the 'Cafeteras' is England, who won't find it easy against this lot.

Couldn't get my head around history repeating itself, and an immensely talented England number 7 kicking out at an opposition player and receiving a red card in the knockout stages of the WC, before the match going to a penalty shootout.

The difference this time England being on the winning side of the shootout.

I’m probably on my own here, but I think yellow was sufficient. She didn’t kick out, or stamp, just stood on her with her weight (you pay for that in Thailand ). It was a rush of blood but a pussycat result. Some of the tackles getting yellow, or getting nothing,. are far more dangerous.

And drawing comparisons with beckham is flawed. James looks far more talented.

You are on your own, Monnie. Under the laws of the game, it was violent conduct and a straight red.

Lauren James - 2 match ban.

Australia v France into extra time and the definition of squeaky arse time

Fans of penalty shootouts assemble

 

[JustJack]

Aussies have chance to win the shootout with a goal

They choose the keeper to take

Keeper hits the post.

:lol:

 

[JustJack]

Aussies knock out France on pens in the most ridiculous PK shootout I've ever seen

 

[Pacemaker]

Enjoyed that it was a great game including the pen shootout, fair play some very skilled and cultured players out there.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Fair play Colombia like putting it about

 

[Pegojack]

Jammy England. Columbian goalie with a gift straight out of the Mr Fish playbook.

 

[JustJack]

Mary Earps with a David Seaman moment there.

Colombia are just great. Mean yet flashy.

 

[JustJack]

England into the semi final.

Rightly favourites to go on and win it now.

Although Australia are the only team to have beaten them under SW.
