[Football] Women's World Cup

[Pavilionaire]

We're fated not to win this WC.

Haiti should have had at least two penalties in injury time. Gutted.

We go again next week against the Chinese. They looked shattered physically at the end.

Any team with a really mean defence and a quality keeper will always have a chance in this tournament.

The BEST game of women’s football ever! Colombia take a bow.

Even the Colombian women use this head injury time wasting bollocks. Fair play to them

A cracking goal!
Until then, the highlight of the game, for me, was when one of the Colombian girls tried to pour a water bottle over her head to cool down... and completely missed.

Each to their own and all that, but this has been a brilliant match ( imo of course )

Hate hyperbole but this has been a great game of football irrespective of gender.

What is it that is so satisfying about seeing the Germans lose!!!

 

[Stato]

Watching Germany lose in the last minute will never not be fun.

Agree. Infinitely better than Swiss v NZ. More quality on the ball and in the passing.

And what a talent Linda CAICEDO is.

It was. Probably the best game of the tournament so far I think.

Not sure I'd quite go that far - Canada 3 USA 4 AET 2012 Olympics Semi-Final stands out for me - but yes, it's definitely a shock result.

Huge credit to Colombia for taking their chance at the end having been pegged back, but Germany were wasteful. 14 shots, but only 2 on target.

Germany should still qualify though if they beat a poor South Korea as their GD is so much better with the 6-0 first game victory.

Watched nearly all the Euros and have caught quite a bit of this. Sensational game with masses of physicality and skill capped off by a quite brilliant goal.

Agreed. Tournament's taking off now, I only saw the 2nd half (was watching the Test) but it was brilliant.

Columbia played a great game against the Germans , really enjoyed it

The BEST game of women’s football ever! Colombia take a bow.

Only saw the highlights.

What a goal by Caicedo!

Has there been any talk about how women footballers have shown up the men by not diving, feigning injury, not playing just for zillions of pounds etc as is normally the case when people use tournaments like this to be misandristic ? From the seconds I have seen of the studio pundits I haven't seen any males. Are there none in this world cup?

ITV"s pre-publicity included 3 men, none of them in front of camera. The BBC's included 2 men, both coaches of women's teams. It's good to see that, for the women's game unlike the men's, the pundits are required to have been involved in the competition they're covering.

Has the Zambian keeper ever played in goal before?
