markjazzbassist Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 A draw with Sweden is fine. We're still top of the group and just need to win or draw with Nigeria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alguna Vez Tonelada Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Watching women's football is a bit like watching a dog walking on his 2 back legs. It´s not done very well and the wonder is that it is done at all !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I can't quite nail down why I'm not interested in this. It's not because it's women, I watch athletics occasionally. It's not to do with on field quality, I watch all kinds of obscure and exotic international football if I find a stream (also, occasionally) I find myself watching the Copa America on Youtube rather than the Women's World Cup. It just doesn't interest me and I just can't fathom why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 U.S. Win 1-0, win our group and on to the knockout round. draw is today or tomorrow I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be playing the team that finishes third in either group B, E or F (not entirely sure how they decide which one but it's explained in section 28 here if you can be bothered to decipher it. http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/07/47/91/regulationsfwwccanada2015e_neutral.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway are a good team, 11th ranked and drew with Germany in the groups, no easy task for us. You should do Columbia without much trouble though.

markjazzbassist Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 us plays china tonight in the quarterfinals, this afternoon its france and germany. winners play one another. luckily the US has lauren holiday on yellows suspended, she has been terrible and yet this coach keeps playing her. i'd like to see this tonight solo krieger johnston sauerbrunn klingenberg o'reilly brian lloyd press leyroux morgan kill them with speed, no more long ball hoof with wambach. she can come on with 20 minutes left and head in a goal, we don't need to play that way for 90 minutes.

Sibdane Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I think that's the squad we'll see. Wambach showed in the last game that she's passed it unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile we have the very technical Germans, cue the only phrase I learned when in Germany "ain beer bitte" got me what I needed I actually got up to go to the loo at about 3.00am (happens when you get older) and my lad told be the result 'cause he stayed up to watch it. I'll be in Greece for the semi and the final so two 2,00am kick-offs. Might watch the final if we get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do Americans say "finals" (plural) when there's only one of them by definition; and call mathematics "math" (singular) when there are multiple branches of the subject. You're just strange.

You're just strange. Great questions mike. in our sports the finals are multiple matches. hockey, basketball, baseball, all have 7 game series. so they are in fact finals. we just generalize that to all sports. as far as math, we are lazy and mathematics sounds like a snobby englishman or something only kidding. i just figured we shortened it so save printing ink on report cards and in books big final (see what i did there) match tonight for your ladies and japan.
