Parris can't take another penalty at this WC.

Absolutely unacceptable to miss two at this level, especially given how hamstrung the keepers are.

I'm not much of a fan of women's football but I have to say it's been refreshing (other than the Cameroon team) to watch football without players diving around like they've been shot and constantly dissenting the referee.

We definitely deserved to lose, but I don't think we played a horrible match, actually. A few 100% chances that could've been converted, at least one goal that could've been avoided, but at least we created plenty of chances.

Regardless, this tournament has been a huge success story for Norway! Last Euro: No points, no goals. Then we lost our #1 star player.

Now: We finish in the quarter finals, having tackled really tough opponents on the way, and new stars have started to rise to the occasion. I'm satisfied!

Yup. Women's football is less skill but vastly more sportsmanship (sportswomanship).

A few of these teams would be torn apart if they face teams with any sort of competency in their attacks.

US plays tomorrow at 3pm EST 12pm PST. Sucks that all but one game has aired on a weekend because all the weekday games are during work so few Americans can watch

This World Cup is reminding me of the 2018 Men's WC as one side of the bracket is really packed and the other is a way more manageable. France x USA at quarterfinals is too early.

Still, going to be an amazing game. I'm really hyped.

USA has never lost before the semi finals, but this is by far the toughest quarter final opponent USA has ever faced given the team and the location of the match being of their opponents. I feel like this will be a 1-1 type game that goes to penalties

Streaming the first half at work and then mad dash to pick up the boy from daycare and get to the house to catch what is left of the second half. Should be a great game.

I hope this will be a great match for both sides. I am all nerves, though. Not sure what to expect out of either team given their last matches.

Whew. I'ma get in trouble at work for watching, I just know it.

Here's to a thrilling game. The only thing I for sure want to see, is a Megan Rapinoe goal that makes Trumpeeto and his fans cry, after they've already been in tears because she wouldn't sing the US national anthem.

Cheering for France, just to see this thing explode in the host country. It's fun to watch the US team, but hey, they've won enough. Time for a change.

One of the world's best football players (and gf of Sweden's Magdalena Eriksson), Pernille Harder, got the Danes worried she'd jumped ship, showing up in a Swedish jersey, but no, she's still loyal to the (not qualified for WC but quite strong) danish troop



Shame we didn't get to see her play this ch'ship
