^ Yeah. And Morgan is clearly not fit. Leroux was useless but putting Morgan in gets you nothing. Kinda want US to win that group cause free tickets are available for me to their round of 16 game which will be here in Edmonton. US not looking particularly good at the moment. Brazil, Germany, Norway, etc. are all going to be a huge problem.

Good game. Thought Sweden had the better chances to win it.

Looks like if Canada gets first place, they'll get this Cameroon team in the 2nd round.

Kyle isn't having much luck in the midfield, but her Tancredi, Gayle and Iacchelli were breaking it down in London Drugs.VIDEO

That Japan-Cameroon game was quite fun.

That's 100% because women do not embellish like the men do, which is by far my favourite difference between the men's and women's game.

It's too bad this team is becoming an Instagram punchline. That residency camp was a waste of tax payers money.

Hear, hear.
There are ton's of people who write off women's football before giving it a chance. I just watched the Italy-Croatia Euro qualifier; two teams with immense talents but OMG the diving and embellishing, and this was not one of Italy's worst embellishing displays. However, you really saw how bad it was because the match was played behind closed doors so you could hear every time a player yelped in agony.
A woman keeper can kick the ball past the center line same as a male keeper. So the idea of them not being powerful is moot.

^^ Don't get me wrong, I still prefer the men's game, but the diving drives me nuts. This coming from someone who has played his whole life. I really wish they'd implement some sort of discipline for usual suspects like they've done in the NHL, but that will never happen.

No it's because they can't tackle or defend

Except for the fact that a red card usually comes from a poor tackle or poor defending.

Also, apparently she sucker punched Abby Wambach in the face during the 2012 Olympics. That alone is reason enough to like her.

This scheduling sucks so bad. Having two games at the same time (in anything other than the third game of the group stage where it's required) is moronic and splits your TV audience. Especially on a Saturday.

You've made your subtly and not so subtly sexist point enough. Leave the thread. You add nothing.

Fantastic save by the Colombian keeper!
