[Football] Women's World Cup

[drew]

It's probably my aging memory, but apart from being a Chelsea player, what has Reece James done to deserve this comment?

Took out Dan Burn causing him to go off and then miss a few games.

 

[Triggaaar]

I see James is only banned for one game, unless FIFA extend it.

That's weird, why only 1 for violent conduct? I don't personally feel it needs to be longer, as it wasn't that bad, but it was violent conduct as opposed to a professional foul, so I thought 3 would be the standard.

I see James is only banned for one game, unless FIFA extend it. Personally I think she should have a three game ban for violent conduct, regardless of how young and how frustrated she got during the match

Joey Barton didn't even miss one game, let alone three.


Yes - still bitter.....

 

[Grizz]

Dreadful first half between Colombia and Jamaica. Proper brutal from the Jamaicans.

Christ that was shite.

I suffered that as well… looks to me like the ‘ lionesses’ are over hyped

Out of sorts. Some key players of the past no longer available.

They were seriously roughed up by Nigeria who were fitter and stronger but, alas for them, Nigeria were also blessed with Richie Barker's eye for goal, and Ulloa's penalty skills.

Hope all's well!

Hidden among the transfer talk and the Premier League kicking off last night, there are some more games today, including England.

Despite 3 average performances out of 4 and no James, I think we'll have enough to beat Colombia. (KO 11:30am)

Before that is the small matter of Australia v France. I'll take the French to prevail against the spirited hosts.

So Spain v Sweden and France v England as the 2 SFs producing a Spain v France final that the Spanish women win.

She’s banned for two games…..back for the final if we get there.

I think she got away with just an extra game ban. Even though it's classed as violent conduct for 'stamping', she trod on the girls back...not by accident. Should've been a longer ban

Yeah, a bit lucky imo.

 

[zeetha]

I agree, I was expecting a three game ban even though she didn't stamp with force she did deliberately step on her opponent.

France have been on top, but Australia just had the best chance. Brilliant stop by the defender!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's got nil-all written all over it

 

[Bozza]

Aussie keeper tips the fifth French penalty onto the post, and then immediately steps up herself to take the winning penalty...

...and hits the post.

 

[Algernon]

This is entertaining

 

[A1X]

That was some shootout

 

[birthofanorange]

Wow! That was tense.

Pleased the aussies went through. We have a love hate relationship with oz but definitely a hate relationship with France!! (Pretty certain we've never had a war with the Aussies)

Never been a fan of their tails in soup...

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Top penalty drama right there! Matildas YAY!

And that's why I don't bet on sport.
