England will win as the start of total England domination of the World Cup across both male and female for many years to come.

Yes, and Somalia is going to qualify for the 2022 Men’s cup

Basically: Both claims are pure, genuine, horses***.

Escatay or Weed. Possibly LSD.

Did anyone see the match between Argentina and Japan? I really, really was not expecting a draw. Argentina played a lot better than I thought they would, and this is both amazing for Argentina and a terrible blow to Japan. They were the second place team in the last World Cup, and this is a serious decline in quality in their offense.

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two women chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the swamp Germans always win.

not in the women's, Ilsa she wolf of the SS got nothing on us.

USA, USA, USA.

[First American Empire]

Germany is actually really close to the USA this year, I'd put the chance of them beating the Americans at around 40-45%. (Assuming they face each other, of course.)

EDIT: Never mind.

Sweden's play is really good, but they cant put a shot on goal.

Holy crap, did you see the US vs. Thailand game? The US just won 13-0, the highest score in any World Cup game in history.

F for Thailand.

Don’t think the US will need to worry about their GD for the rest of the group stage

They're not the royal family :lol:

The current king and queen have three daughters. My desire to marry one of them off into the Japanese royal family for dynastic shenanigans notwithstanding, they should be able to get one of them into the national team.

I saw that: according to a discussion on ABC’s Good Morning America (2:05 mark), the US had little choice when breaking out of the group stage can often depend on goal difference, and it has happened many times, regardless of gender.

[The South Falls]

That's not a victory, that's a massacre.

[First American Empire]

That's not a victory, that's a massacre.

Entire French Team: "Our 4-0 crushing victory against South Korea will show that we're a force to be reckoned with."

Alex Morgan: "Hold my beer."

US and Sweden are the only competent teams in the group. 6 goals would be more than sufficent. You have to play the game, and Thailand kinda stopped, but act like you have scored a goal before.

Well, that wasn't a goalkeeper either, it was an embarassment.

[United Kingdom of Poland]

man what is it with European teams and being gifted PK's by the VR system this year.

[The Archregimancy]

With the OP no longer with us, I've reactivated the poll - which, oddly, was originally set up to only run for 68 days.

[Ethel mermania]

if a player doesn't touch the ball, can it be an offside?

[Myfanwyski]

should be interesting tonight as the top two teams in the tournament meet- and what a cracker awaits the lionesses. The england team will no doubt hope this will go into extra time and penalties with both sides baking in the conditions- could be a matter of attrition with the fittest winning. I favour the french be roared on by their home fans and passion to do well.

[Fartsniffage]

Yes, if they're deemed to be interfering with play. Such as blocking a goalkeepers view.
