Women's Football: General Discussions

[Iftikhar]

Rather physical, but not exactly brawling. Colombia 1-0. The defending was poor.

@koptician

And Daly was guilty of overselling the push but she did get shoved and it should have been a penalty.

[koptician]

I’m not sure England can deal with Colombia’s physicality. And I do mean getting seven shades of shite kicked out of them

[Sweeting]

Jamaica played four games, scored 1 goal, conceded 1 goal. Pretty impressive actually.

Colombia’s physical approach definitely rattled the Germans when they got beaten in the group match

[Iftikhar]

France 3 Morocco 0

[koptician]

Some of the defending…I’d be shouting at my defenders in my 11 a side team if they screwed up like that

And to thing we had to face up to than Nigeria team and now Colombia.

This is essentially a bye for France

[Iftikhar]

Spain vs. Netherlands
Japan vs. Sweden

Australia vs. France
England vs. Colombia

[Bekloppt]

Hosts v France is the standout tie.

[koptician]

Unless Sam Kerr gets near full fitness and France fail to play to form I expect France to win that one. Australia had it easy with Denmark who are probably the weakest of all the qualifiers bar Morocco. Couldn’t hit a barn door and all that, they had their chances

[RedWhippet]

It would still be nice to have one of the hosts in the semis, though. In fact if England progressed as well, Oz vs England could be quite spicy.

[sandsoftime]

England players will be knackered around the 60min mark

[aussielad]

Agree with @Bekloppt that the Aus vs France game looks to be the pick of games for the Q/F.

The Tillies haven’t really played well so far, but done enough to get to this point, but on their day can feel they are good enough to beat anyone. Definitely a game that has the potential to be worthy to be the final

[RedSeven]

I didn’t think they deserved to beat Ireland.I missed the game against Canada but to beat the Olympic champions so convincingly in a must win game i thought was an impressive result.Against Denmark i thought they played quite well.Looking forward to the game against the French but think it might be a game too far,although i will be cheering them on

[Semmy]

I finally got to see the video. deserved. hope it’s 3 games.

I dunno, it’s a reactionary thing from getting clattered all evening plus it was more petulant than malicious.

But who knows, FIFA might agree with you.

you don’t think cleating someone in the back is malicious? christ, I’ve seen a fistfight on the pitch for that.

Fist fight? Footballers? You meant handbags didn’t you?

maybe on your side of the pond, but not mine.
