Their style of play is brutal to watch (yes it did for our underachieving Scotland team) and I'm a bitter human being. They'll not get past Australia and Canada. Only likely to get a point(s) v Nigeria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Snake Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Very nice goal though the defence were just caught too high up the pitch and then simply outpaced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Odd hearing the referee telling the crowd the decision. Not sure what that adds to the game. Missed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't actually hear what she was saying, but I thought the idea was for the referee to provide context behind the decision they were about to make. I'm all for it personally. Makes the referee a bit more accountable for their decision given they have to explain it to the crowd and will hopefully help to remove some of the uncertainty in the stadium around what has been checked and how they arrived at the outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Sam Kerr out of the 1st two games with a calf injury Edited July 20, 2023 by Swarley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Can't bear the 'oh they've got momentum now', 'theres a great team spirit' etc. Especially from former professional athletes. Women's football punditry is full of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Norway were absolutely rank, no way they play that badly in their next two games. Sam Kerr is a massive miss for the Aussies but this really should be an easy match for them against Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty-RCFC Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I’m all for mic’ing up the refs if we can hear the conversation between them and the VAR officials. Just having the referee announce their decision over the tannoy, though, is far more hassle than it’s worth and literally pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Foot Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Fucked it against Oz. Stupid pen. Rest of the game was a dirge. The press over here will be calling it 'plucky'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 They pressed well for the full game, gave Australia no time. Australia were very poor. Their passing was awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Couple of attendance records today. The game in Auckland attracted 42,137. The largest attendance for any football match in NZ. In Sydney the crowd was 75,784. The largest crowd for a women’s football match in Australia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Pretty shite that this one-sided affair is the only game on at a vaguely sensible time today. Why no late game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why no late game? I think the Canada Nigeria game had an earlier kick off for Canadian TV. The other two games are in NZ so this Spain game is already a night game their time. But to be honest feck the Northern Hemisphere, this is what us Southeners have to put up with for every sporting event 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
