2023 FIFA Women's World Cup

[Molehill]

Koreans take the lead against Germany - this could be interesting!!

 

[ripper868]

Garn Korea

Also, atmosphere sounds pretty decent as well. Incredible how Aus and NZ have really embraced the competition and gotten good crowds to basically every match, not just the home team games.

 

[Molehill]

I suspect it won't be long before the Germans turn this around, but it's fun at the moment.

 

[Chubb]

Germany look abysmal in defence but are creating a lot up front.

 

[Howe_zat]

2018 called, they want their upset back



For posterity

 

[ripper868]

was always going to be Popp

 

[ripper868]

Ah, Morocco with other plans though! Germany need to find another goal this half (I expect they'll find 3)

 

[Howe_zat]

No goals in the second half and it's time for some proper world cup time killing

Suspect we will see the 14th or 15th minute out of 9 added on

 

[ripper868]

I smell 17th minute penalty coming up*

*penalty to be skied over the bar

 

[_Ed_]

This World Cup is a wild ride.

 

[ripper868]

Well, that opens it up a bit.

 

[Howe_zat]

Germany out is flipping ridiculous. That might be the biggest 1st round exit in any world cup since... Ever? Like it happens in the men's when there are 32 pro teams but generally not here.

Morocco are ranked 72nd in the world and played their first match in 1998.

Agreed, that's just ridiculous. How does a team win their first game 6-0 and then end up missing out on the knockout stage to the loser of that game?

You'd think an England v France semi is all but guaranteed in this half of the draw now, but frankly, who knows with this kind of **** going on.

England should make the semis but yeah.

I don't think France over Australia is close to guaranteed. Australia beating anyone at home isn't really an upset.

 

[Molehill]

England now the 11-4 favs. Spain and USA 9-2 France 7-1, Japan 8-1, Netherlands, 10-1, Aus 12-1

I'm not convinced Aus beat the Danes, that's a real 50/50.

Knockout bracket

 

[Ali TT]

3 African sides in the last-16. Outperforming their much-hyped but perennially underachieving male counterparts.

Morocco aside I guess!

 

[_Ed_]

Spain have completely outclassed Switzerland in this first half.

 

[Howe_zat]

Spain so dominant they were able to share the scoring between both goals and still be well ahead.

40 yard screamer. One of the most convincing own goals ever

 

[Tom Flint]

Morocco aside I guess!

Wasn't there actually 3 african sides in the last 16 of the men's wc too?
