final: 7th July


[B]Qualified teams for Summer Olympics
The World Cup will be used by UEFA to qualify three teams for the 2020 Summer Olympic women's football tournament in Japan. If teams in contention for the Olympic spots are eliminated in the same round, ties are not broken by their overall tournament record, and play-offs or a mini-tournament to decide the spots will be held if necessary in early 2020.
For the first time, as per the agreement between the four British football associations (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales), Great Britain will attempt to qualify for the Olympics through England's performance in the World Cup (a procedure already successfully employed by Team GB in field hockey and rugby sevens). Scotland also qualified for the World Cup but, under the agreement whereby the highest ranked home nation is nominated to compete for the purposes of Olympic qualification, their performance will not be taken into account. In effect, therefore, eight European teams will be competing for three qualification places.

[Nicky91]

England against Scotland in the group :o could be a nice match


but any star players at this world cup, well Lieke Martens (just had her transfer to Barcelona, best women's football player in the world, was important for us at european championship which we dutch won) and Marta of course for Brazil (a routine experienced player)

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Nicky91]

they already have 2 songs for our dutch football girls, and also our grocery stores filled with either puppets of the squad or a poster of the team :)

[Crimson Dynamo]

today at 14:00 UK Time, 15:00 CET


New Zealand vs Netherlands :dance: :dance:


GOOO Dutch Lionesses, i'm gonna watch this for sure, and having seen our other opponents last night canada, cameroon well they are also easy to beat on paper

[Nicky91]

fun fact about Thailand their women's football team

the coach Nueng is a former footballer and hockey player

and his advisor is former Netherlands women's team head coach Vera Pauw :cool:

[Nicky91]

1138379527489544192

17:00 UK time (18:00 CET) Sweden vs Chile



1138376247636045824

the evening match of today is thailand - usa

[Nicky91]

13 minutes till kick off new zealand - Netherlands

[Nicky91]

1138423734077939717

meanwhile in Netherlands, loads of support for our ladies :clap1:

[Nicky91]

squads come onto the field and we will get the anthems of new zealand and Netherlands first

[Nicky91]

i don't underestimate new zealand at all, they got a good mix of experience and talent in their team

but all of our important players in the starting 11, there was doubts for kika van es with her broken hand but she can play :)

[Nicky91]

coach of new zealand is their miracle coach let's say, scottish tom sermanni

he took over from the previous austrian coach who was a disaster for them and they started winning everything under this Sermanni

[Nicky91]

so far after 3 minutes few good attacks from us dutch, but the new zealand defence for now is doing the best they can

[Nicky91]

10 new zealand women in defence mode :laugh3: :laugh3:


attacker Gregorius all on her own in the front :hehe:

[Nicky91]

great attempt Gregorius now, hit the bar :o

[Nicky91]

6 good chances from us dutch now and 1 good chance for new zealand

[Nicky91]

63% ball possession for Netherlands against a 37% for new zealand

[Nicky91]

new zealand's route towards world cup

Fiji = result 13-0

Cook Islands result 17-0

Vanuatu result 20-0


so it was 1000 times easier than our dutch ladies who had also 2 play off matches alongside regular qualifying group matches

[Nicky91]

half time 0-0

disappointing from Netherlands, but expected since new zealand are amazing in the defence

[Nicky91]

Netherlands won with 0-1 in extra time over new zealand, a goal by Jill Roord

[bots]

USA vs Thailand was a close game

Without meaning to come across as sexist I do think that women's Football is not at the same standards as the men's, if you can get past that then I think that you can start enjoying the matches more.

The best thing to do is see women's Football as the Championship which I prefer to the Premier League nowadays anyway personally.

it isn't at same standards

america's women ''soccer'' as they call our football that there has been bit more popular than over here, they had Mia Hamm an icon, who still is an icon for soccer there with Mia Hamm Foundation

or Kristine Lilly, also a veteran from u.s team with over 250 international appearances


here in my country it has Always been around, but only recently it gotten popular, and us being european champions made a huge impact, more girls signing up to all sorts of women club teams and youth teams :clap1:


same as men's soccer in Australia, also gotten more popular where rugby was their no.1 sport and now soccer gets a good attendance either in the stadiums for every match

I'm happy to see women's Football on the rise.

It means more heartache with the Blues, but it also doubles my interest in the Sport which I like.

It is incredible to see how much more popular women's Football has become in such a short space of time though.
