Posted June 26, 201113 yr Watching Nigeria v France and its pretty entertaining especially during off-season when there is no other football to watch.
June 26, 201113 yr Womens football has came on quite a lot lately, some of it superb to watch and some of the players are outstandingly skillful. The only position it really lacks in seems to be goalkeeper.
June 26, 201113 yr Author Yeah got nothing against it like some tough guys do its actually fun to watch, goalkeeping is pretty shocking at times I agree.
June 26, 201113 yr This is good stuff and very entertaining..end to end unlike the premier league ..pissing about sideways and backwards...these girls are superfit ...and some good looking babes......pity the Canadian Team are two down but they have had a good couple of chances.
June 26, 201113 yr Am I the only person who opened this thinking Andreas was going to make a philosophical point about women's loos? yes, I suppose I am!
June 26, 201113 yr Great goal Canada...must have watched 'Bend it Like Beckham' a few times testy few minutes for the Germans now....
June 27, 201113 yr England v Mexico is being shown live on fifa.com So I thought why not give it a go? Clicked the link, sat through a 45 second FIFA preview only to be told that the match was only available in certain territories. And that as they couldn't verify my location, I would not be able to view the match. So I tried a proxy. Same sh*t. DIfferent browser (no ad-blocker), yep you guessed it same sh*t. There's no indication anywhere as to what those "certain territories" might be. At a guess I'd say Andorra, Qatar and Trinidad & Tobago.
June 27, 201113 yr Oh it's easy enough to get a stream. I just thought it was worth making a point to have a go at FIFA.
June 27, 201113 yr Ah, no worries Hutch. I did realize that you were having a go at FIFA for their lack of telling what the actual territories were, but just wanted to share a possible channel if you needed it!
June 27, 201113 yr It's on bbc interactive through the red button. (Channel 301 on freeview) No need to muck around with streams for a change :)
June 28, 201113 yr Author watching colombia v sweden, should have been 2-0 up so many chances wasted.. come on Sweden!
June 28, 201113 yr First I sit through the entire first half and watch Sweden fail to score on 3-4 great chances. Before the 2nd half I go for a walk and also a short swim in the ocean. When I come back I've missed the one goal we scored today :( Atleast the water wasn't too cold anyway.
June 28, 201113 yr US beat N Korea 2-0. US out of sync in first half, came out much better second half.
July 2, 201113 yr Sweden won again, 1-0. Could have been much more if our striker could only hit the f*cking target. She couldn't score from a yard out to save her life. Absolutely abysmal.
July 3, 201113 yr Author We made it into the quarter finals at least! up against England or USA now if im right?
July 6, 201113 yr Germany looked very vulnerable against set pieces in the match against France last night. The zonal marking might be their only glaring weakness. Other than that, the giants definitely woke up unlike their first two matches. USA vs Sweden today, loser gets Brazil and probably an exit card out of the tournament. I expect England to have a rough go against France. Dehle (spelling?), the French striker, looks like she can create a lot of havoc. The best thing is to keep her out of the match.
July 6, 201113 yr Going to watch Sweden against USA tonight. I think USA will win it, but I hope they don't. I want Sweden to face the runners-up in group D. Facing Brazil would be extremely tough.
July 6, 201113 yr Germany to win just because of this http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/oddballs/865966-german-u-20-womens-team-pose-for-playboy-ahead-of-world-cup-finals
July 6, 201113 yr Brazil is a tough road for both the USA and Sweden. I still think that if you neutralise Marta, Brazil can be beat. Germany did it in 2007 and I don't see much of a change for Brazil this go. Neurtalising Marta is easier said than done... Edited July 6, 201113 yr by Arq
July 7, 201113 yr Sweden beating the US the way they did was a shocker to me. Especially how Sweden looked so much faster to any loose ball. They wanted it more, and they got it. The US 2nd place prize... Brazil. Edited July 7, 201113 yr by Arq
July 7, 201113 yr USA against Brazil will be very interesting. I don't usually watch womens football when Sweden don't play, but I think I might actually watch this one. Could be an amazing game. I'm glad Sweden missed out on Brazil. Australia might not be easy to face, but I fear them less than I do Brazil. But it really is time that our top striker - Lotta Schelin - starts scoring. She's had like 7-8 great chances so far this tournament and have barely managed to hit the goal at all. Very weak. Now when we've reached the knockout stages we really do need goals from her.
