AFC Women's Asian Cup 2018

Thank you very much from me also. I like how this community as a whole uses to have an answer to basically everything, despite how "niche" we are!

 

Thanks so much for this! Thanks to Blisset as well. ขอบคุณครับ.
I hope to talk to you guys more.

 

These are so GREAT news!!!

Meanwhile, in USA, a competition for clubs is already scheduled that could maybe eventually evolve into a World Cup for clubs. I am happy AFC is going in that direction. How I wish that, in the golden era of INAC Kobe Leonessa, an actual AFC Champions League (and a World Cup for clubs) had existed!!! INAC had to settle with Mobcast Cup instead, that finally faded away.

I figure that an Asian Champions League would see at the top some clubs from the leagues of the finalist nations of today: so Nadeshiko League and Westfield W-League. Probably South Korean league and Chinese league wouldn't be too much far away. I have to wonder about North Korean club landscape.

 

If Thailand have enough left from the semifinal I think they can beat China for 3rd place. They played them even for almost an hour in the group match. And China looked really average vs Japan.

 

China has looked average for about 10 years now.

 

True, but I thought they had improved a little since the last WC

 

Thailand-China 0-0 after 20'. Unfortunately no stream that I've found.

 

And just when you say that, at 21', China scores!

I root for Thailand too, but I am afraid they gave their everything in the 120' vs Australia. China, instead, at times didn't even try vs Japan, so I am afraid that different stamina levels will make the difference here.

 

You should check Nadeshiko thread first, @Lechus7! @Titus Sol had given this link there.

 

0-0 at halftime. I guess goal was disallowed. Thai girls do look a little leg weary.

 

YES!
And one more step toward a women's CWC.

 

I guess that's that. 3-0. GK Boomsing off with injury too. Hopefully they get a consolation goal at least.

 

I notice the referee was Japanese: any indication about how her direction was?

 

If not for the red card in the semi, this would be Japan vs Thailand. As it is I see the Nadeshiko winning as long as they finish their chances.

 

I hope so, and, as you said, "finishing our chances" is the key.

 

Let's celebrate!
