Women’s World Cup 2023

Yes, that 4th goal was absolute class! Take a bow Mina Tanaka, worthy of any game, men's or women's.

I haven't watched much of the tournament so far, but if there's a better team than Japan, I'd be surprised.

Agree, I don't bet very often, but might well have a few quid on Japan to win the tournament.

Styles make fights, as they say.

I think Japan were the perfect kryptonite to Spain, who I still fancy.

Elsewhere you'd be remiss to ignore the defensive resilience of England.

Coincidentally England are likely to play Spain in the first knockout game

Nigeria isn’t it? Assuming Engo don’t lose to China. Spain play Swiss. I enjoyed this morning’s Oz match. That’s how to deal with win or bust under pressure.

Yes you are right, I didn't realise they do it differently from the usual 1st A vs 2nd B etc

England thumping China.

Lauren James could be the superstar the womens game needs.

English superstar the English game needs? Putellas of Barcelona and a few others like Sam Kerr are already superstars and poster girls for the game.

Nobody outside of the women's game really knows who Putella is, she's not on video game covers, talked about in other media etc

When all the sponsors started to take notice of the potential of women's football, Kerr was the one who picked up the torch, but I don't think she's the one who can move it forward.

It needs a huge personality or exceptional talent to put it on the next level, or with luck the lightning combination of both.

LJ certainly has the talent, in spades.

I agree, looking at the technique she utilises to score her goals reminds me of our own (at the moment) JP. Goals that would have most people drooling if scored by a man.

Panama currently 1-0 up against France after 17 minutes, and dumping them out of the WC as things stand

Madness. Long way to go though, an eternity if you're Panama.
