Matildas The Matildas and the 2019 Women's World Cup Thread

[peternorth]

Sets up France v USA in the quarter-final. Probably not the result FIFA was looking for, because whichever country loses, their supporters will stop caring about the World Cup.

i think fifa would prefer USA to go through. $$$$$ and increasing interest in a non football country.

Don’t know how that second one is a pen

No contact at all- the Spanish girl pulled out of the challenge

First one you can argue on

Italy win against China , they are through.
Great stuff

lol both penalties where dodgy yet VAR does not intervene? Very suspicious.

I'm out. Dodgy decisions especially VAR. Sunday league goalkeeping, Poor crowds. Politics with the Matildas coaching. The disgraceful behaviour by Cameroon. I think this world cup has actually set back the women's game.

Agree the refereeing especially has been very disappointing, almost every game there is some sort of VAR controversy. FIFA really have to review the system in place when you have VAR technology and still able to get the decisions wrong. The some problems where accuring with the mens World Cup last year through not as many decisions where sent up. Maybe the pool of women refeering isn't that great this time round.

England handily defeat Norway 3-0 to move into the semi-finals. England plays the winner of USA-France in Lyon next Friday.

So it's USA into the final to play the winner of the Dutch v Swedes. I thought England would be the best chance at stopping the US juggernaut this World Cup, but England missed a penalty that would have (probably) forced extra time.

In dong so, the USA created two new records. One record for the longest winning streak at World Cups with 11 consecutive wins, breaking the record formerly held by Norway of 10. The other record for the longest unbeaten streak at World Cups with 16 matches unbeaten (dating back to the 2011 World Cup).

Want to see a US - Ntherlands final. Think the Dutch could do it.

 

[drd23]

I'm rooting for the Dutch. They were impressive in the game and 2 highlights I watched

 

[peternorth]

Dutch did enough to get through. Beautiful game that was.

 

[peternorth]

USA are going to win. Holland look feeble in comparison today.

Terrific keeping by Veenendaal in the first half, but the US attack too good and the Dutch don’t have the answers tonight.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Once again, a dodgy penalty to the USA. What a surprise.
