    Colombia still having a go



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,248 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Columbian hearts are gonna be broken here



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 11,917 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    England a bit lucky again, really enjoyed watching Colombia, disappointed to see them out (best jersey of the tournament as well)

    Hard to pick a winner from here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,248 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    England living on their luck again. Will need more of it against Australia at home.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52,807 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Sweden will win it out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,248 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Still Aus for me. Everything in their favour now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52,807 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    I just think Sweden is a better all-round team and well balanced.

    I'd love to see the TV ratings in Australia.....the winning penalty was scored at 8pm in the evening local time on a Saturday. The ratings must have gone through the roof.

    One thing I'll say about the England women is that they are a real team of battlers with a winning mentality. Sure, they are not a pretty team to watch but you have to admire their team spirit....they battle their way through every game until the final moment.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,059 ✭✭✭✭Cluedo Monopoly


    Watching the England game on +1. Great ending to it. Colombia are dominating.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    I don't believe it's on terrestrial TV in Australia so the ratings would be affected by that.

    England getting to the semis while playing so poorly, all the big guns knocked out early, this world cup is the worst standard I have seen since the 2011 finals

    Just today, The French player who kicked the ball over the bar from right in front of goals with no one in it - so dreadful it was comical. But has been plenty of this carry on in this world cup, the standard is so poor.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭StrawbsM


    And then there were four @PTH2009 @JupiterKid @sekond


    Spain v Sweden on Tuesday @9am

    Australia v England on Wednesday @11am



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,493 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    It was in fact : it went out live free to air on Channel 7 (it might be that they have the rights to some of the knockout games or Australia's games only or something).

    Spain V Sweden really good so far. Half time still 0-0 but they both look like they want it and both playing great and looking hungry for it.

    Peace and long life.

    Very good game. The final winners are in this game.

    Spain really attacking.

    It can happen. You have not missed much. Spain never got a single shot on target in the first half whereas Sweden had loads of chances.

    That was a great chance just there now by Spain.

    Peace and long life.

    Spain 1 Sweden 0

    Spain just scored but possibility it's offside.

    Goal stands do it's 1-0 to Spain.

    Great goal too.

    Wow this WC is all drama. Great reply from Sweden. Extra time.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,059 ✭✭✭✭Cluedo Monopoly


    Oh my!!

    What a goal!!

    Spain into final. And an extra days rest.

    Sweden are physically imposing but Spain handled it.

    Sorry to hear that. Highly recommend watching the highlights of it this evening.

    The keeper probably could have done better for the winning goal, shot was straight down the middle.

    Although maybe we need to be a bit more forgiving of the goalkeepers in the womens game because they simply aren't as tall as the men and what is a bog standard save in the mens game is a difficult one in the womens.


    Some turnaround for the Spanish manager, the players walked out last year and wanted him removed (some have not returned to the squad) and now they are in the World Cup final with him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭StrawbsM


    @JupiterKid you're in the final !

    And I only added the mods to the sweepstake as I needed to make up the numbers 😂



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 13,008 Mod ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    Woohoo!! 😁🥳🥳👍👍

    Go Spain! 🇪🇸 ⚽️ ⚽️



  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭BlueEyeGleams


    You know I never really doubted Spain beyond the US imploding. And tikitaka isn’t even a japanese invention



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭StrawbsM


    my kids in Australia say I’m not allowed to support England as Australia is getting a public holiday if they win this game 😂

    The keeper probably could have done better for the winning goal, shot was straight down the middle.


    She should have and could have saved it alright if she had not moved of her line like she did which then meant she was off balance and in the wrong place to save the shot.

    England not being clinical upfront again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,248 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    1-0 Eng.

    If they could do that more often they'd be unbeatable.

    Stephanie Roche really destroying the illusion that they are in Australia.

    So half time and England lead by a goal. What can Australia do in the second half. It has been an OK match but no where near as good as yesterday's match.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,759 ✭✭✭sxt


    Australia aren't a great soccer team,only marginally better than Ireland.Their midfield are non existent.

    Their only hope is that England get defensive and nervous and gift it back to them somehow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,248 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Up the intensity of what they are doing. Need to up the energy levels I think. England look a bit suspect on the counter, but are good going forward themselves. Aus will have to find a way to attack without opening themselves up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,232 ✭✭✭TooTired123


    Pity the Aussie fans have such little confidence in their team that they had to make a show of themselves by booing the opposition. Good goal by Toome. I hope they go on and beat them now it’ll give them something to boo about.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 11,917 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    Good start to the second half by Australia



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,248 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Aus struggling upfront, but creating chances



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,171 ✭✭✭✭cnocbui


    The UK is always above such things...

    Australia's players were booed and players from both sides exchanged words as they walked off the field at lunch before Khawaja and Warner appeared to be confronted by members.

    "They were just quite aggressive and abusive towards some of our players, which I know the MCC weren't too happy with."

    Yeah that was the cricket match where England had genuine suspicions about very bad sportsmanship on behalf of the Aussies. The Aussie cricket team have plenty of previous for cheating and bad sportsmanship .

    When did the England ladies team cheat ins match against the Aussies, or anyone for that matter? I must have missed that…..

    Havent you over reached yourself a bit there comparing apples with oranges?
