Dolfan in NYC Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 https://defector.com/try-watching-this-world-cup-in-spanish Diana makes some great points. Especially since Fox has decided that "Alexi Lalas and Cari Lloyd Are Grumpy Grumps" is the best they can do. Last group plays tomorrow morning, Colombia gets Jamaica with a win or tie vs Morocco. Germany gets France unless something insane happens.
odessasteps Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 I've been watching in Spanish mainly because the games are on Peacock, not whichever Fox channel has the rights. 1

SirFozzie Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 No Olympic Champion (Canada) No South American Champion (Brazil) No former Winner (China) No Italy And one hit the post away from No US The times, they are-a-changin...
ReiseReise Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 Germany out aswell... Not sure if that ever happened before in Women's footie. Weird especially since the team was really competitive at the last EUROs.
SirFozzie Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Show me a team that plays better than Spain did, and you will likely be looking at World Cup winners.
The Natural Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Sounds like the Swedish goalkeeper Zecira Musovic is having a worldie vs. USA in the round of 16. 0-0 after FT and ET. It's gone to penalties.
The Natural Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Wow. Megan Rapinoe skies one. Sophia Smith miss is one of the worst penalties I've seen. Sudden death. Sweden win. The USA go out! The defending champions.
The Natural Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 With love and respect to my American friends here, seeing Alex Morgan go out after her tea celebration is so satisfying for me.
The Natural Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Sweden's Lina Hurtig's penalty was saved by Alyssa Naeher but the ball was judged to have crossed the line by VAR. What a way to go out.
Pete Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 We were convinced the fix was in until they finally showed the replay a few minutes later. Good lord. All the TCOTs, MAGAts and other oxygen thief "patriots" need to change their pants after that double cumshot of Rapinoe missing her penalty followed by the USWMT going home. 1
The Natural Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Never expected Rapinoe to blast it over the crossbar like that.
The Natural Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 C&P from BBC Sport: USA have been eliminated before the semi-final stage of the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time in their history. The World Cup Final is a fortnight away and from the teams remaining only Japan has lifted the trophy before, and other than them only Netherlands and Sweden have reached the Final.
ReiseReise Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Happy to see Sweden advance. They are never to be taken lightly. Hope they can beat Japan aswell, but it's going to be tough. 1
Cobra Commander Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Feels like an opening for the US Mutant Ninja Turtles to not underwhelm over the next few years (nah, the USMNT will likely underwhelm hard even with the USWNT about to enter a non-rebuild rebuild)
odessasteps Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Starting to worry about England winning this.
Ace Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 The US kinda underachieved the entire tournament. They'd control the ball a lot, but could rarely get it into the net.
The Natural Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 England 0-0 Nigeria. Into ET. Nigeria hit the bar twice in normal time and England's Lauren James sent off for stupidly stamping.

SirFozzie Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 No US. No Brazil. Almost no England The times, they are a changin... 1
odessasteps Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 Also, no Germany and no Norway. There's still Japan, if they could be considered a Gen 1 elite team.
ReiseReise Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 Is Japan a Gen 1 Team in regards to being contenders? Always had them as second Gen, since their first real breakthrough was in 2011. Established for sure, though.
