Damn

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Frustrating and disappointing

 

[Arr0w]

Nigeria will come hard here, need to keep our shape and wait for the counter

 

[Arr0w]

Shite!

 

[thylacine60]

any risk a player of this game anywhere in the world can go down from a tackle and get up again? a blight and one of the reasons I give it very little time

 

[Revenant1995]

1-3. Any chance of another goal from us...?

 

[Jeremias]

Disaster

But sets up a massive 3rd group game in Melbourne

 

[Arr0w]

Just need to go for it here

 

[Arr0w]

Come on !!

 

[Jeremias]

Very important goal, even if the result holds

 

[Arr0w]

Thought that was off side, but 1-0 it is

 

[Arr0w]

Goaaaallllllll

2 -0

 

[Arr0w]

That was not off side

 

[Arr0w]

Now it's 2-0 !!!

Raso with 2

 

[BlueGum]

Keep it up

 

[Revenant1995]

What a night of sport for Australia.
Here Canada down 2-0 to Australia at half time, but I've read that 8 of #can last 12 WWC goals have come in the second half. Game on...

 

[Jeremias]

Great half. Exactly what we needed.

Raso elite, she’s a jet, does so much work that goes unnoticed. Glad she’s on the scoreboard twice.

Defensively outstanding. Rock solid.

Canada will make changes and are quality. Hold our nerve.

 

[BlueGum]

Awesome goal. 3-0

Canadians liking a lay down on the grass from time to time.

 

[Arr0w]

4-0

Australian green and gold my friend and don't you * forget it

 

[BlueGum]

They played awesome. Deserved win.

 

[thylacine60]

What a deadset destroyation....

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I admit I don't watch much women's cricket (time constraints mainly) but i don't think I have ever heard a louder and more passionate crowd here (least in Melbourne) for a women's sporting game !

It was absolutely electric and spine tingling !!!

 

[Jeremias]

Great performance.

Canada are very strong and we made them look second rate.

Tactical master class from Tony, but credit goes to the girls for the performance and execution.

Thrilled we made it through. Top of the group the cherry on top.
Feel the WC would have lost momentum had we been bundled out at the group stage, but now, watch this explode.

No idea what happens from here. But we can absolutely go all the way.

The group stage is now over. This is where things get really interesting.

Rank	Country	Status
1	USA	R16
2	Germany	Eliminated
3	Sweden	R16
4	England	R16
5	France	R16
6	Spain	R16
7	Canada	Eliminated
8	Brazil	Eliminated
9	Netherlands	Eliminated
10	Australia	R16

So, 4 of the top 10 eliminated via the group stage.

R16 match ups

Switzerland (20) v Spain (6)
Netherlands (9) v South Africa (54)

Japan (11) v Norway (12)
Sweden (3) v USA (1)

England (4) v Nigeria (40)
Colombia (25) v Jamaica (43)

Australia (10) v Denmark (13)
France (5) v Morocco (72)


Another 1 x top 10 ranked nation guaranteed to be eliminated at this point in the tournament. Not just any top 10 either; a top 3 nation and potentially the best in the world.

Long way to go yet - and the Matildas may well lose v Denmark...but what an opportunity they have in front of them.
