Woke up to this result. Saw highlights. Wow. It seems I underestimated Sweden. They played Japan off the park for a good part of the game. At HT...
Yeah it's also that the quality of the final ball was often lacking as well. Many times they got into good positions on the wing but then sent in...
:laugh: Pigs will fly at supersonic speed before he gets an apology from that band of crooks
Nigeria exposed by their lack of real quality upfront. Only scored in one match out of four. Not good enough.
You have to give credit to England. They are still playing with their heads up after the red card.
Red card for James!
Watch out for those England corners! Saved off the line!
Possibly t She is playing better for sure since she almost gifted England a goal. Hope she keeps it up!
She isn't 100% fit, but she is still fast. Her introduction should make the English center backs think twice about pushing higher up the pitch.
Oshoala comes in for Nigeria
There should be a new rule in soccer. You hit the bar twice, it should count as a goal. :)
England stepping up the pressure now!
You must inhabit a different plane of reality. The English player was clearly looking for that contact. Her problem was that she oversold it.
No PK.
Somewhat theatrical dive by the English player. Like she had been shot or something.
Demehin is the weak link for Nigeria. I expect England to target her.
The ref might have a big influence on the Japan-Sweden game if the bigger Swedes are allowed to push the Japanese players around. Otherwise I see...
Not necessarily. Japan is still in the competition.
How the hell did RSA not score there?
Goal Netherlands! 2-0! Bad goalkeeping helped that in.
That's interesting.
Goal chalked off!
There it is! 2-0 to the Dutch!
Let me predict the next Dutch goal. South African over elaboration on the ball will lead to a turnover in a dangerous position, and the Dutch will...
We've seen this script before. After all this huffing and puffing by RSA, Netherlands will probably win this game 3-0 or 3-1.
