FIFA Women's World Cup 2015

Holy crap. I guess England had good reason to be confident. Given how poorly Japan played earlier, if we keep this up we might actually make it to the final this year (and then get streamrolled by the winner of Germany Vs USA, but hey, progress is progress!)

Given how poorly Japan played earlier

We did not watch the same game. Japan are a low-scoring side but they completely dominated a good Australia team start-to-finish.

[Rainiac]

Admittedly I didn't actually see the Japan game live, so I was reliant on press reports & what others told me. If Japan played better than I made it sound then my mistake. Maybe England won't have such an easy path to the final if they beat Canada after all

[Lineker]

Plenty of time for England to fuck this up still.

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh, okay. Yeah, England has a real shot but I think Japan are going to be a lot harder to break down on the counter than Canada or Norway (after Norway ran out of gas, anyway).

[The Lusophone]

Canada seem to have a sort of Stevie G/Captain Fantastic thing with this Sinclair, and it's just not going right for her.

[9 to 5]

Canada deserve to get beaten for having a defender numbered 10.

[Lineker]

Damn.

Quoting this so you can't edit it.

I spoke at the wrong time. :/

[MDK]

'keeper shouldn't be fluffing that, very poor.

[Jimmy]

Poor defending and such bad keeping.

Spurs should sign her up.

[Jimmy]

Seriously though, every 50/50 is going to Canada.

[Whisper]

To be fair, England aren't even playing that well, lumping it forward as quickly as possible every time they get it.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I haven't seen this much long ball since I went to watch the Orient with Myke

[Lineker]

Karen Bardsley is having to come off. Problem with her vision. Backup goalie Chamberlain coming on.

[9 to 5]

Nasty looking that.

[Lineker]

Squeakybumtime.
