Ex Town coach Colin Bell's South Korean team 1 up against Germany after 5 mins, should really have been 2. As it stands the Germans would be out.

Watching my first game in this tournament - ex-Town man, Colin Bell, will be enjoying the start made by South Korea v Germany. Quite astounded that the game is a 52 000 sell out in Brisbane, and yet a 16 500 stadium was designated for the China v England game a few days ago. Seems strange that there wasn't a minimum requirement stipulated regarding stadium capacities for this tournament?

Germany out as well.
An interesting k/o stage ahead, not sure how the draw is arranged, presumably pre-drawn?

So another big name gone, I was busy elsewhere so didn't see any of it. This is as open a WC as there has been in recent memory. England's chances improve with each underachieving big teams exit.

Colin Bell getting a few mentions on DATM atm :-) Three and a half months at Town. Legend! He has spent half of his life in Germany and therefore speaks fluent German. Speaking to a German TV journalist he said he was sorry that the Germans are out!

Speaking to a German TV journalist he said he was sorry that the Germans are out! Think the German lass commentating quite fancies him, was saying how good he looks for his (nigh on) 62 years - didn't say owt about his 100 days in Huddersfield, though, which might have been more relevant in terms of football information, but there you go.

Amazed with the Germans going out. Just seen the highlights. Popp is some striker. Scored one great header, had one disallowed and hit the bar with another.

Not the same as commenting on an Aussie looking like Barbie then. Didn't know about that incident, but (having googled it) it sounds really embarrassing for the BBC guy (bit dim-witted more than anything, but I guess he was saying the first thing that came into his mind, which makes you think who the heck are the BBC employing at times). Saying someone looks good for their age is harmless, though you do wonder what the reaction would have been if a male commentator had said the German trainer looked good for her age. Even then, it's something I wouldn't even bother commenting on normally. I was just thinking/hoping she might have said more about Bell's footballing history (100 days at Town, although there wouldn't have been much to mention tbh). She says what she thinks, and is certainly thick-skinned - was the centre of an Internet shitstorm in Germany when she became the first female to commentate on the (Men's) Champions League cup final between Man City and Inter Milan, in June.

Keeper has to have a higher starting position there and just sweep up that through ball.

Sweden - USA in desperate need of a goal. Very attritional but lacking quality at times. On the punditry side I didn't recognise Fran Kirby with make up on, only ever seen her on the pitch.

Great save from Swedens keeper to deny USA. Bit more urgency this half.

Still no goals. Extra time being played. Sweden hanging on a bit but their keeper looks good so if it goes to pens she could win them the game.

Pens it is! Rapinoe is definitely past it, those corners were embarrassing. Good energy from both sides in extra time

Drama, USA keeper thought she'd saved it, VAR say it went over line and USA ARE OUT.

That's the finest margin possible good grief. Never seen pens decided by VAR before, that moment of tension was brilliant

Sweden v Japan next round, Japan will be too much for them but that's the holders gone, all good for England.
