From my understanding, the Brazil player negated the offsides by making a play at the ball that "did not include" the actual offside player. She was offside, but it didn't matter in the long run, as it was deemed not a part of the actual play that proceeded. Kinda odd and interesting call.

West Brom appoint Slavon Bilic.

It never worked out for him at West Ham but I really hope it works out for him there. Don't think I've ever heard anyone say a bad word about him.

I don't claim to understand it, but I'm not complaining

I like that Sam Kerr more or less assisted two Australian goals without actually touching the ball in either. Now for Jamaica.

Confirmed West Ham sign attacking midfielder Pablo Fornals from Villareal for around £27m. Great great signing, imo.

No, Wilshire. Creative midfielder. Maybe rotate with Lanzini or sit just behind him.

England's probably eventually going to beat Argentina, but how good was that penalty save?

Wilshire who? could almost be a tee shirt at the club's shop. We bought him off Arsenal last summer and he's barely played due to injury. When he's fit he's a VERY good player but the 'when he's fit' bit has always been the issue, even at Arsenal.

But he did score one of the greatest team goals you'll ever see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odxh_ZEUPlQ

Yes, the goalkeeper's saves were really impressive...

Will they try a bit more against Scotland ?
Scotland's been quite bad against a much better team - Japan, fluid team play, a delight to watch...

Well, both Argentina and Scotland will need a win to make the Round of 16 - if it's a draw Argentina will finish with two points, almost certainly not enough (and it could be definitely not enough after results tomorrow).

At this point only four teams have guaranteed spots (France, Germany, Italy and England), although Japan are almost certainly in too. None of the knock-out stage games are confirmed yet, although it looks likely that Norway v Australia will be one.

USA are the favorite.
Haven't seen Germany ; England has one of the most best players in Lucy Bronze.
Others have shown frailties.

France won thanks to a penalty retake that tastes really sour.
The team hardly got disturbed by Nigeria but found it hard to get on target.
My favorite player was, alas, the worst. She's lost much of her strike force, she missed two opportunities, trying to put the ball as far out of reach as possible to compensate for that lack of power, and missed completely.
So good she was, Gaëtane... (but I'll keep on believing in her).
And a penalty retake...
In a competition hosted by France...

Has Trump already tweeted something?

The crowd was behind the players, our hands are swollen from too much clapping.

Well, France topped the group and made the knockout stage. They'll play the third placed team from one of group C, D, or E (Brazil, Scotland, or New Zealand, but there's plenty of room).

Australia plays our last game against Jamaica tomorrow. The most likely outcome is that we'll win and finish second, where we have the Norway game I mentioned.
If Brazil do better than us (they draw/we lose, they win/we don't, they win/we win, but with a margin less than two goals), we'll finish third and almost definitely play France.
However, if we thrash Jamaica and Brazil win, we finish first and play one of Nigeria or China.

Either way, we're going to lose in the round of 16

Got up to watch our game against Jamaica. I'm not sure whether it was that they're rather good or we're overrated, but they were playing a lot better than the 1-4 scoreline suggests, and their goal was a brilliant breakaway.

Four goals for Sam Kerr though

Okay, I've run the numbers (have I told you about my amateur statistics? no?), and France are still favourites - I give them a ~21% chance of winning.
That said, they'll probably play the US in the quarter-final, which should be a big game. So, USA/France v Germany in the final most likely.

TBH, I haven't watched any of the National League games. Don't know about the rest of Europe but certainly in England it's received minimal coverage.

well, it did over here obviously . I don't recall that I watched the match though. I have the tendency to change the TV channel whenever I see his face ...

I think even in England there's a limit to how much football people can take. The intense final weeks of the Prem, followed by the all-England CL and Euro finals probably left a lot of fans burnt out and in need of a break. I know I did. Plus it coincided with the Cricket World Cup.
