Certain teams I'm extra curious about.. one of them is Spain. I've fallen in love with Barcelona and Spanish club football is on its way up up, but consensus seems to be the national team is not quite there yet. But there are a ton of Barcelona players on the team so I'm hopeful. Could meet US in an early knock-out match tho.
Can't wait. Need some good soccer to watch after the absolute dumpster fire of a champions league final.
Oh man, holding a WC Women's party over here. Trying to get as many people interested in the sport i can.

Hadn't seen this thread. I'll be going to like 8 matches, all those in Rennes + a quarter final in Paris that has good chances of being USA-France so I'm super stoked. Well, if FIFA sorts out my ticketing problems lol.
Hoping for a good tournament from my Bleues and for someone other than the US to win it. We're having a bit of trouble with injuries to major players (Majri, Le Sommer, Henry and Mbock) so hopefully they'll still be up for it.

You got the split seats situation that was talked about in news stories?
I feel like the powers that be in Brazil have fumbled away their national team a bit - despite having that world #1 for several years most other countries have developed and progressed more, and now Marta is seeing the end of her career.
Thankfully no as that seems messy as hell and FIFA hasn't been reassuring in their ability to fix it. I just don't have the "Print" button on like half of my tickets, so hopefully it's just a bug on the website or something and a quick fix. I've contacted them on Twitter and by email so we'll see.

Nice wallchart for download, especially if you're a brit
SB Nation: 2019 women's World Cup teams, ranked by how much fun they are to watch
Rather ridiculous details in this piece about Norway and Ada Hegerberg (so many misinformed people writing about this situation recently), and I'm not sure I can agree with them about South Africa, having watched them lose a warm-up match 2-7 yesterday while counter attacking with very fast wingers, but otherwise a fun informal overview over the different styles.

I find these are a bit weird tbh. I get trying to hype the weaker teams but they're gonna be facing tougher opposition here than in their respective continental competitions. It's easier to play an "entertaining" football against Panama or Mozambique than it is against the likes of even Spain or Canada.
Haven't heard of any Youtube channel but it's been picked up by TV channels (free or otherwise) in a lot of different countries.

It's coming home!
Poor shows against Denmark and New Zealand but firmly behind the Lionesses, got their beautiful away kit ready and just going to have another good summer of football.

Man, the sheer incompetence of FIFA in the ticketing department this year. Apparently my tickets have disappeared because they're trying to reallocate some seats for the people that were separated. 3 days to the start of the tournament and I can't download my tickets or check my seat or whatever, and of course I've not received any email to keep me informed about the situation. I've spent literal hours on hold with customer service since yesterday and haven't had any success yet, it's driving me mad.

That sucks. Unbelievable stuff from FIFA. It's like a lot of people seated in a stadium is a brand new 2019 concept to them.
Hope our Dutchies do well
Plus new signing Jill Roord
And also Leah and Beth with England.
Shame Jordan Nobbs couldn't go due to her injury.

Auf geht's!
After the horrible 2018 World Cup, Germany needs that W.
Our men haven't won anything since 2014, our ladies since 2013.
#5yearsofhurt #6yearsofhurt
Time to end that embarrassing losing streak!
EDIT: Oh, I forgot the ladies won Gold in Rio 2016 nvm

Miedema is one of the most lethal players on any team, for sure.
If Netherlands can string matches together, with Martens and Miedema and van de Sanden, we'll be entertained.
Germany's won enough ;p
In all seriousness I would like to see a new never-before champion.

Don't forget Van de Donk, who's used to assisting Miedema at Arsenal. They have so much talent in attacking positions honestly, pretty young too. If they can get the whole team to work together and be more consistent, they could have a really good tournament.

I am so up for this
I hate watching men's domestic football because of all the diving and the general bad spirit of the game
The women's game is so much more fun to watch
