FIFA Women's World Cup

Sweden dominating midfield, bossing the Aussies tonight. Could easily have been more than 2-0

[booboo]

Swedes 2 Turnips 0

[NTA]

Looked like shit from the opening moments. Kick and hope

[booboo]

Sweden take it 2-nil.

Congrats.

Got to tip my hat to the Matildas. Out performed rankings and expectations to my mind.

Have thoughts on the tournament and surrounds but will explore those later.

[booboo]

Not sure I'll see this through. Bit late, soccer, and women's soccer.

But who you got?

I'm kind hoping Ingalund get up.

[booboo]

Why is "God save the King" not evocative as "God save the Queen"?

[booboo]

Further to my question about corners ...

Why can't the defenders belt it forward? Why do they have to kick it back to the keeper? And why do keepers have spiders on them so that you have to leave them alone?

[Stargazer]

Only watching this football game, because it's the final. I've already watched so much rugby this weekend, that I'm not that keen on watching more sport.

I hope it will be a good, exciting game. Go Spain!

[booboo]

A corner ... am waiting for the inevitable goal ... or not ...

Pointless things in football

1. Players raising their arms to « help » the touch judge choose the right side for the throw in.

@Billy-Tell You mean like rugby players always try to tell the ref that they have really scored a try? :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Arms being waved around like Ireland rugby players

Nope.

Yes. Love winding up you "football" types.

[booboo]

Chances both ways here

[sparky]

Lauren Hemp hits the cross bar. Still 0-0.

[Stargazer]

@booboo Okay, Aussie.

@booboo Okay, Aussie.

You got me.

But soccer.

[Billy Tell]

In NZ I always said soccer. In Europe I feel like a yank if I say soccer.
