FIFA Women's WC France 2019

[Newman Noggs]

Afew years back they tried to do away with this kicking it out for "injured" players. Now it's worse. The referees are stopping the game as soon as a player gets hit by the ball.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Some of the French passing has been wretched.

 

[Neville Kneville]

That's that then.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Obvious what was about to happen !

 

[bluethrunthru]

That's that then.

Unless VAR can be cheated - sorry used - to come to France's salvation

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Thank god for that. Couldn’t have faced much more of this.it has been dire. Two best teams in the tournament? Your having a laugh.

They are. It just shows how bad women’s football still is.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

'Nother bloody dive from Rappers!

I think its been a good game to be honest. As long as you enjoy watching Northampton v Coventry that ok

 

[remember arthur mann]

Need to bring Pogboo on !

VAR will be used to hand the USA the title!

France aren't. Germany, Netherlands and possibly Japan are better than France.

 

[Neville Kneville]

U.S. defence has been excellent.

(Should be, with the fucking budget arf).

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

How is that not a booking? Clear thuggery from Morgan dressed up as contact!

 

[bluethrunthru]

VAR will be used to hand the USA the title!

It won't be needed against the Lionesses sadly - the USA's technical ability will overshadow our graft - it will be like us against the rags.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Some of the first touches and technique you see from the women is superb at times and wouldn’t look out of place in the men’s game and then they go and balls up a simple 5 yard basic pass 5 times out of 10.

 

[buckshot]

R U sure...……………..

She looks a helluva lot better in the bikini.

 

[nellyonthewing]

So that's where Tony Cascarino's been.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Just offside....

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

I have to say this is the game of the tournament so far. Two technically good teams - jeopardy and in particular for the host nation. Enjoying this !

Not so much for me. They are both good teams, but... it’s a bit like watching two heavyweights cancel each other out.
There might be a bit of a moment every now and then, but it’s mostly a war of attrition.
Probably down to France’s inability to put a decent final ball in.

Don’t get me wrong, very accomplished football, but not as entertaining a game as say Norway vs Australia was.

And my prediction, should the USA win: based on what I’ve seen so far, (USA not showing me anything that particularly scares me except relative solidity and a general awareness up front) yes, they could do a clinical Champions League job on us and pick us off a couple of times late on...but I think we could also shock and awe them into submission before that - and still have chances late too.
