I had work so I missed the first two matches, hopefully I'll catch some today

I don't know about bias... it looked on replay like the initial contact was accidental... but that the follow through resulted in Canada's player getting further shoved to the ground with an elbow to the side of the face...

and who knows the angle and perspective of the ref at that moment... they don't have the benefit of slow motion replay... and that is the how the sport goes :shrug:

but even if it was bias, Canada was on the other side of that for the Olympics... so I guess we can stand having bias in our favour for once :fan:

I only saw bits and pieces of the second game... but I was the only goal. The second game seemed much more eventful :laugh:

Yep Norway vs Thailand is about to start soon,

Fox Sports/Fox are covering the Women's World Cup this year here, They're going all out. Their ad campaign is all about a country having a score to settle, the US has been shown the most but they're doing ads for other countries as well.

By the way, Alex Morgan is still injured so she's not at 100% but is on the US Roster, Java has to be happy about that :P

Come on lasses learn to pass ffs, it's like watching bloody Rotherham.

Unlucky, good header that.

Women's goalkeeping strikes again.

1-0 Norway

Norway looking tidy now they're 1 up.

Thai keeper is having a mare. Norway had a few decent chances now.

This Thailand team are god awful

Probably only got in because of expanding the WC to 24 clubs.

Tidy finish from the centre forward.

2-0

This is just going to get worse for Thailand

Centre half ducks, did she think the keeper was coming for it? :laugh:

3-0

US Commentator just mentioned that Thailand's players have real jobs outside of this.

Gotta feel sorry for them, although the 2 week vacation has to be nice

Soooooo.. Germany and Norway are the only teams to watch in Group B lol

This game is a scary catastrophe... If I were Germany I would pull all my starters just to save them from injury... and play as many bench warmers as possible

Yeah, I just turned on the Germany CIV game.

USA vs Australia and Sweden vs Nigeria should be way closer games tomorrow

Ten to Nil

Wow, I have to feel sorry for Ivory Coast

I couldn't decide which team to feel worse for... CIV were playing rugby with all the tackles and hits out there...

Germany need one massive ice bath now :hehe:

no duh, 29 to 10 fouls in favor of Ivory Coast

There were way more... The ref just gave up calling them towards the end :hehe:

Oh yeah I agree,

She didn't because that'd make the score way worse for Ivory Coast

Way better game in Sweden vs Nigeria,

Currently tied 3-3, 3 minutes left.

USA just revealed their lineup for the game tonight

#USA XI: Solo (GK); Leroux; Sauerbrunn; Lloyd; Krieger; Holiday; Rapinoe; Johnston; Wambach (c); Klingenberg; Press.

Hm might stay up for the first half

Teams are making their way out, Alex Morgan is on the US roster but she has a bruised bone in her knee. She may get subbed on.

Mostly Red White and Blue in attendance
