AFC Women's Asian Cup 2018

Kerr with the advancing goal... for the second match in a row X-D

 

Oh well, it was good... for as long as it lasted.

Thai girls must be disheartened, this was an once-in-a-lifetime chance for them.

Now Japan has to make the final too to punish this really bad Aussie side.

 

Bottom line: they should have given one of the PKs to my Taneekarn Dangda: she would have surely buried it in.

 

Thais will get murdered in their third place match. They put everything into this game vs. AUS.

 

Actually 3. Or do you mean one was an own-goal?

Anyway, I fear Australia. They look like the typical team that plays badly for all of the tournament and everyone wants to see them out, then they end winning the whole thing, after risking elimination at every stage.

 

I assume people are glued to their feeds, since we're already in to the second half of CHN-JPN an no comments yet! X-D

 

The secret is that we, Nadeshiko fans, use to follow our games on Nadeshiko thread, the same way you use to do with USWNT.
Want to join the fun?

 

I haven't ventured into the USWNT forum since 2012. X-D
I like the more international flavor of things. Single-nation threads are too narrow (and surprisingly critical from all sides) for me.

 

By the way, if you'd happen to not have a feed and want to follow, you can wacth the game here (comment in Japanese ).

 

Nadeshiko thread begs to be different. We use to have a good time in a very light-hearted way. But I can understand your point of view,.

 

I am broken-hearted for poor Thais. So close!

I also happen to have a good Thai friend, so I am even sadder.

Well, at least, as a Japanese supporter, I won't have to beat these girls in the final: we can just take revenge for them on Aussies.

By the way, @hotjam2, where do you are? Wasn't it you talking about hiding under rugs?

 

there's not much else to say or interest for me other than what I all ready covered;

1) there's no stream or same day replays of the games to watch

2) it's been rather predictable as the 5 favored teams went through

3) I've been enough critical of the coach of the team that I like to follow; which is Staj, for his one dimensional tactics & starting his 2nd tier squad.which all ready proved a disaster when they lost & tied #34 Portugal

4) and with the one team I follow, they just don;t go deep; missing players like Foord, Raso, Harrison, Sykes(retiring) & as I've read, not a 100% Cately, probably makes them no more at top ten team.
Australians tend to be multi sports. Their women are in the top ten in team sports more than an other country in the world(and that includes the USA). But popular to them, oddball sports like Australian Football & Netball takes away a lot of athletes that would of gone to soccer.

5) just like the Copa Femenina, the quality is just not there. At least two years ago at Olympic Asian qualifiers. we had 3 top ten teams(AU, JA & NKR). Now we only have one team(the injury plagued Matildas). I way prefer watching a tourney like the SBC where the four top teams in the world are playing each where(with all the games available to stream)

and just in case you feel that the Nadeshiko, are the underdogs, read what i wrote before the tournament started

 

streams were available according to my twitter timeline...

 

Nope to Q1 and Yes to Q2. FIFA always uses their own rankings, at least when the rankings have existed. Those are far more indicative of strength than a team being on a hot streak for some single month a year before the WWC. Australia won the 2010 AFC championship but was not seeded in the 2011 WWC - and the higher-ranked Japan understandably did much better than Australia did in Germany. (Similarly, ARG won the 2006 Copa America over Brazil, but neither were seeded in the 2007 WWC, though Brazil or DPK could have been if FIFA used the same procedure they did in 2011. Good thing ARG wasn't seeded, because they crashed out 0-3 with a -17 GD!)

 

The few links given on this threat either froze up or had possible virus attached. The Aussie facebook page that had yesterday's game froze as well. Hopefully someone can give a link that works & is hassle free for the remaining games

 

.....did you mean to quote me for that reply? I'm confused if so.

 

I'm sure you will able to watch the final game from the link given by Blisset (a stream of the japanese channel TV Asahi)

 

Hi everyone. I was following the Asian cup tournament and watched all of Thailand's group matches on a YouTube channel with Thai commentary. But then they took down all the matches before I got to see semi vs Australia. Does anybody here know anywhere I can see the full match posted somewhere? Thanks a lot!

 

Mmm, I haven't many connections with Thai posters here, and my Thai friend in real life doesn't actually follow football. But I'll look around and let you know.

 

Hey I appreciate it. My Thai friend is the same as she doesn't follow sports. I also haven't seen any Thai national team threads here on BS.

 

@BVB3777 , a tweet from https://twitter.com/WomensSoccerUtd was posted a few pages back, indicating the source of their live feed.

It is a recently created facebook page, which has the full match you are looking for.

Not sure how long it will stay online: https://www.facebook.com/livefeverthailand/
