FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 || 7 June – 7 July, France
- Thread starter Peru
- Start date
Great win for the Super Eagles.
Though I think Korea perhaps looked the better team technically, you don't get any points for playing the prettier football.
538 know shit about Men's football, so no surprised they can't predict the Women's either.

Surprised at the probability for the first match. Think Nigeria could very well beat Korea. Two of the weaker teams of the tournament meeting, anyway.

I watch football, but I was hardcore into PL and club football in my youth, traveled to England and so on, and I'm definitely not anymore, got enough of it after a while (something to do with everyone around you talking about it), so I particularly enjoy football without the standard fan culture.
I think I'm more annoyed by journalists clutching their pearls about "respect for the game" when the reality is none of them respect the sport enough to talk about it, than I am by whatever celebrations the americans did.
Good win for Nigeria, don't think that'll be enough to go through unless they pull off a big surprise in the last game but still an important 3 points.

She's a 33 year old woman coming off of an ACL injury and knee surgery to score a goal at the World Cup. This handwringing is dumb.
Fair enough, who did you support in the PL and where are you from if you had to travel to England? Will feel silly for asking if it's Peru.
At her 3rd world cup to make it 9-0 :D it's just a bit embarrassing
It's funny the lengths everyone is going to justify it, even after I've said and it is known that such actions are frowned upon. The mental gymnastics to justify something not looked well upon because it's your team is rather funny. The fans were tired of celebrating and the team was still rolling around celebrating, once you go past a certain amount of goals you stop celebrating. It's not only about showing respect for your opponent actually still playing but it is also about being humble and recognizing that you are clearly better thus no need to rub it in.
By "rolling around celebrating" you mean "hugging their teammates"?
This pearl clutching is just ridiculous, especially considering how Thailand demolished their Asian rivals.
You're obviously fond of calling things pearl clutching, and more power to you. Doesn't change the fact that it's just classless :D for comparison, this is from the frigging world cup semi final, when Germany thumped Brazil in Brazil. Have a look at the German player's celebrations of their 6th and 7th. It's just basic respect.
I can't believe I had to look this up.
Like many people have said before, its not about how many goals were scored. It's about how absurd their celebrations were in a high scoring game like that.

Blackburn, of all teams, because of Henning Berg who was a bit of a hero to me (for some reason) here in Norway.
TSN panel still salty
I'm seeing the same level of celebration here, which is team mates congratulating the scorer with hugs. The camera just isn't super zoomed in on the players in between cutting to a distraught Malaysian child.
man these france people DON'T show up if it's raining, 2nd day if there's rain there's worse attendance
It's June in Northern France.
You should see Manchester atm, we're practically underwater.
seems Spain is getting tired they kinda slowed down their attacking like 7 minutes ago, letting Germany get too far with less trouble
This reminds me of the USA men sprinters theatrics at the Olympics with the gaudy celebration while wearing the flag and just about taunting the other runners from other countries. It was done in poor taste. Same here. It's fine to enjoy the win but some level of class/discipline should be there with the players and definitely the coach.
Toronto Raptors fans say hi, TSN.
Also, just got here from errands, looks even if Spain is Spain.
Spain is just so frustrating to watch. Beautiful play but an incredible lack of finishing product.
if Spain had some of the shot diversity that USA showed yesterday they'd be up 4-1 right now. they only try same side shots on goal if they try and go opposite it's way wide
I honestly would love to see FIFA allow players to be mercenaries and play for other countries. It's not like countries like Saudi Arabia aren't doing this already on the men's side.
Germany knows how to grind out results, that's what it is.
This isn't true at all. FIFA eligibility rules aren't that easy to bypass unlike other sports.
Depends how you define 'mercenaries' I suppose. Qatar are naturalising a bunch of Brazilian players in time for the world cup, I believe China are doing something similar.
Good. Maybe stadiums should start getting collapsible roofs too. It sucks watching a game when it's raining or heavy snowing.
