ljkeane Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 So the first round has started today. Solid win for Team GB with the addition of Kim Little in particular to the largely England team looking like a real improvement. They certainly dominated the game against Chile but there was a bit of a lack of cutting edge in the final third that you'd think might end up costing them later in the tournament. Probably the most notable thing so far is that the US are behind going into half time against Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US have hit the post a couple of times but Sweden really should have scored a couple more goals as well. Just as an aside I really hate players who aren't playing up front wearing numbers 9 or 10. Lindsey Horan's a class player but she really deserves to lose for wearing number 9 while playing at the base of midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Rubbish game between Team GB and Japan but GB get the win with a scrappy goal and it takes them through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 USWNT back to form, crushing NZ 6-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 WOW! Canada playing for Gold! I was up just before 5am and checked on the score (0-0) before falling back asleep. After that pretty big win against Brazil I knew we had it in us. So excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Rubbish game but congratulations to Canada on the win. The US in general have looked fairly unimpressive this tournament after coming in as big favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I hate how early all these games are. Can’t enjoy anything when the live events are happening in the middle of the night. 1 hour ago, ljkeane said: Rubbish game but congratulations to Canada on the win.

It’s been largely the same players for a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
