2019 Women's World Cup - Do It Back to Back

[shnsajax 3591]

Miedema is a killer in front of goal so that gives the dutch a small shot, but they haven't created anything in the run of play in the KO stage. If they can defend like hell and counter maybe they can pull the upset, but yeah, the bracket is super unbalanced. 

61 goals for country before turning turn 23 is impressive.

I went down a Wikipedia rabbit hole on her career. She was the second leading scorer in the Eredivisie as a 15 year old and then two years later led the league in scoring with 39 goals as a 17 year old.

This is the best matchup of kits. Super sweet kits for Sweden and Germany. Just classic.

One of the best goals of the tournament from Germany there damn.

[spystud13 2371]

 No shit, that was badass. All off a turnover. 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Nice response by Sweden!

[ATLLonghorn 855]

Good lord that was shite defending from Germany

[Buzzrock 14920]

But a helluva delivery

Is this how people complained about the heat in the ’94 World Cup in the US?

Damn it, man. Your avatar broke my fone’s glass screen ... from the inside. 

[ChickenSandwich 9834]

Best first half of the Tournament so far?

[ztejas 43419]

Glad I can catch the second half.

Let's go Sweden!

[Woodrow Call 494]

The story of this match is defense. Close marking by Sweden is affecting the German attack, and Germany's defense is giving Sweden way too much space. 

[pops 6984]

Is there no one at this game?  Sounds quiet

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Sveeeeeeden!

That's because the crowd is Swedish and German.

If Germany loses, they won’t qualify for the Olympics either, right?

Just came here to ask. Loser misses the olympics, yes?

[BrickHorn 18226]

An Olympics without Germany and France almost guarantees the US a medal.

Correct. England, Netherlands and the winner here are in.

[HenryJames 66048]

lulz England

[TrashMaster G 17554]

Only on a soccer pitch do people writhe around on the ground in agony and get up and trot away, unharmed, two minutes later.   

Conclusion: The soccer pitch has magical healing properties. Particularly the 18-yd box.

[TrashMaster G 17554]

Auf wiedersehen, Deutschland.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Auf wiedersehen, Deutschland.

That's a legitimate upset, on paper.

That's a legitimate deserved victory, on the field.

💥........S-W-E-D-E-N....... 💥

[Pato del Muerto 52491]

So both that advanced from the USA group are in the last 4. 

[Drew 2405]

Damn I wasn't paying attention...so Germany lost?

Jesus if the US doesn't win this cup it'll be an epic disappointment.

[austingirl 2191]

 

[Horn80 6119]

Germans lose.  Make my day.  Those fucks.

[ztejas 43419]

Anything can happen in the final. Let's get past England before we cheer for Germany taking an exit. 

I do think we beat Sweden more decisively than the 2-0 indicated, but, again, anything can happen in the final. 

Can someone that has seen the Netherlands play comment on them? Don't think I've caught a game of theirs.

As long as Sweden doesn't play like cowards in the quarterfinals, yes.

Here's a list of tournaments in which Germany eliminated Sweden. Today was so huge for Sweden:

Olympics: 2016, 2008, 2004
World Cup: 2015, 2003
Euro: 2013, 2001, 1997, 1995

[UDontKnow 10444]

Venturing a guess that it will be a USA-Sweden final. But of course, can't overlook the English ladies - I don't think our ladies will look ahead because they're too experienced to make such an error. I would be more wary of Sweden if Pia Sundhage was still managing their squad.

Press and Horan replace Rapinoe and Mewis

[alincoln 2371]

England's starting GK is injured

[TonyTexas 10510]

Press starting instead of Rapinoe. Must be injured. Also, Horan in for Mewis.

[TrashMaster G 17554]

Talking heads having fun chewing on the starting lineup.
