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:

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

the evening match of today is thailand - usa

13 minutes till kick off new zealand - Netherlands

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

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

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 :)

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

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

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


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

great attempt Gregorius now, hit the bar :o

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

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

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

half time 0-0

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

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

USA vs Thailand was a close game

chile sweden, sweden won with 0-2 after silenced game because of thunderstorms


usa won with 13-0 against thailand :dance: :dance2: i was loving that, and yeah that is a way to make a entrance at a world cup woohoo

they had a hot goalkeeper for a long time Hope Solo, she's with the squad anyway, but then cheering from the audience this time :)


England had a decent start, with 2-1 over scotland, who made a impressive debut too despite a first match loss

Hope is working with the bbc and was on my big tv when England played Scotland I did not now who sexy girl was then there put her name on screen :dance:
