Watched a bit of second half, seemed SA just couldn't hold onto a lead but scraped through to last 16. Just as well I didn't try to stay in until the end.

I’ve not watched much of this tournament, but just saw that winning goal from SA & the lass who provided the assist showed remarkable composure. If that had been a PL game they’d have been raving about that assist.
Most players (male or female) would have tried to blast it past the keeper, not dink it square.
I’ll probably take in some more games now we’re into the k/o stages.

No doubt there will be a 'Hamer would have saved that' post along shortly 😄 Just catching the last bit of Jamaica v Brazil. Real chance that Brazil could be going home here. Porro posted while I was writing this.

To be fair Jamaica are still trying to get forward a bit to take pressure off the defence. Brazil not looking quite with it somehow.

Bye bye Brazil 👋👋👋
Unless Panama get 2 in 13 mins extra time
Edit : Panama need 3, they have to win then Brazil would go through and France would be out.

Brazil distraught at the final whistle. Big name gone along with Canada and with USA still to show real form. Can England make most of it?

Isn’t it great seeing an underdog achieve. That is why people watch sport the emotional scenes at the end. Nobody wants to see Man City win again and again. Sport is about achieving the unachievable . Well done, no financial support , just giving campaigns to raise money just to participate. Sheer joy at the end , simply great to watch.

I think they've missed a trick not using any male officials.

Spain, Netherlands, Japan, Sweden and USA all in the other side. The draw doesn't seem right to me though - it is possible to play the other team which progressed from your group in the semi final. I thought in previous world cups that (unlikely) event would only be possible in the final.

Brazilian media going crazy here today even blaming the manager for not speaking Portugues. In reality the team just was not good enough and most in the know thought Marta should not have been called. Like others have said, England can easily win it with the performances we have been seeing from the USA. Very different cup too. The small teams actually seem able to defend well in the low block.

The reason is that, if we are all on board with inclusivity, regardless of sex, race, yadda, yadda, yadda, the signals that would be sent out by having male officials (some, not all, obvs) would be similar to seeing female pundits at the "proper" World Cup, hearing female commentators on tv (or radio, for those not reading this in colour), not to mention female officials in men's gamez. I mean, why not?

Watching the Women's World Cup is all well and good but it feels a bit like watching the support band at your next gig. Decent but not the headliner. I'm certainly looking forward to watching some "proper" football in the next few weeks and months.
