Kudos to Jamaica for keeping pace. Gotta work on finishing, this could easily be 1-1 at HT. Schneider's the GK of the tournament so far.
Ok, 2-0 and this is really game over. Better this way that with that bogus PK. I wouldn't have believed that Cristiane, at 34, could have been again a key player at this World Cup.
48' 1-0 Brasil connect several long passes, finally Cristiane loses it at 25m center. Beatriz(?) rushes Schneider, forces a long kick into right touch. 50' 2-0 Brasil steals at 30m, Debinha(?) counters through arc right to 15m, passes down mid-right to Andressa Alves down to 5m mid-right. Cross through 6-box misses everybody, rolls to 1m 1-left. Cristiane slides and volleys left roundhouse over goalline to -1m 1/3 right, off a sliding defender and back out. AR gives goal, goalline cam confirms it: over the line by ~2 diameters. 1137731249785712643 is not a valid tweet id Brazil now up 2-0 in the second half.👀 @Debinha7 leading this attack.#BRAJAM #FIFAWWC pic.twitter.com/PoWeLIKlrO— National Women’s Soccer League (@NWSL) June 9, 2019
I think Cristiane would play even if Marta were starting...I don't see her being benched because Marta is playing...
58' 2-0 Shaw dribbles through circle top right, Formiga slides from behind and pokes ball away -- but her follow-through catches Shaw's right foottop and lifts it upward, dumping Shaw down face-first. Foul, yellow card on Formiga. 59' 2-0 Jamaica fk at circle top right, sailed to 7m left post. Shaw jumps, Bárbara comes out and punches ball away, her gloved right fist grazes Shaw's head -- incidental contact. Ball continues over 6-left foot, Carter(?) can't chest it goalward.
Wow, Jamaica could have scored here. A goal from them right now would make the game much more interesting.
61' 2-0 Carter hooks a cross from 2m wide right to crossbar center. Bárbara waves at it (and maybe gets a micro-touch), ball continues across and bounces at 0.5m 1-left. Swaby hop-volleys just wide left into side netting. 62' 2-0 Jamaica subs in (1 of 3) #10 Jody Brown for #20 Cheyna Matthews. 63' 2-0 Plummer fouls Cristiane at arc tangent left. 63' 3-0 Cristiane fk, left instep over the wall, over Schneider's fingertips, off crossbar 1/5 right, bounces down over line, spins out to 2m right post. Brasil swarm the bounce 2-v-0, head a bloop over line anyways -- AR awards goal for the first shot. 1137734523142062085 is not a valid tweet id 1137735467040956421 is not a valid tweet id Cristiane's precision and experience are deadly when she's relieved of the burden of initiating the speed moves herself, and now she's surrounded by some youthful speed on the wings.
Just meant that Schneider sounds like a family name from "German" descent, unlike most Jamaican family names I heard. It's true that most Americans come from different parts of Europe and Schneider by now is common in the States. Of course there are Jamaicans coming from each part of the world, I suppose: was just an observation, like I could observe that Zlatan Ibrahimovic doesn't look and sound like your typical Swedish player: what's wrong with that?
There's nothing wrong with it. She doesn't look Jamaican or have a traditional Jamaican name because she's American.
65' 3-0 Brasil subs in: - (1 of 3) #19 Ludmila for #16 Beatriz - (2 of 3) #23 Geyse for #11 Cristiane. 72' 3-0 Jamaica subs in (2 of 3) #7 Chinyelu Asher for #6 Havana Solaun. 76' 3-0 Brasil subs in (3 of 3) #3 Daiane for #14 Kathellen.
78' 3-0 Brasil pass to #_ at 22m mid-left, diagonal pass hits Geyse in stride through arc tangent right to 12m center. Left instep shot to right post low, Schneider dives and pushes it wide right. 79' 3-0 Jamaica subs in (3 of 3) #15 Tiffany Cameron for #18 Trudi Carter. 80' 3-0 Plummer chases a ball back to own box top mid-right, pulls up to let it roll, doesn't box out, Geyse overtakes her on the inside. Schneider comes all the way out to box top to collect, has to reflex-kick ball off Geyse's shins, ends up past own box top. Geyse chases to 3m mid-left, kicks across mouth, Ludmila slides through 6-top right and volleys wide right low into side netting.
88' 3-0 Ludmila breaks away through arc right to 10m 6-right, shoots wide right low 90' 3-0 Debinha spins away from Plummer at 5m left touch, crosses outswinging to 5m 1/4 left. Schneider dives to punch away, Ludmila lunges for a diving header, they collide chest-to-chest and Ludmila pancakes Schneider flat. Foul on Ludmila, both pop up and resume. +4'.
