I'm still salty about the Netherlands getting this far. The second half against Japan was atrocious, they were absolutely spent. They have no business being in the tournament at this point.

Agreed, their victory over Japan was a heartbreaker, especially the way the match went.
Winner of Germany/Sweden will make it to the finals I feel
Those inevitable 1776 references are going to cut deep huh. Also July 2nd is just 2 days before the US celebrates independence from Britain so yeah get prepare for some silly patriotic tea party jokes if the US wins.

I wasn't happy about the defensive mishaps during that game, however to say that the team has no business being in the tournament at this point is crazy talk. Putting aside the second half to the game that was just played against Italy, it's on Japan to capitalise on their chances. They had every opportunity to win that game and they didn't.
hahahah yeah, Japan had some poor aim/bad luck during that match. That's just how the game goes sometimes.

As if Japan winning in extra time or with penalties was some kind of given. NL already brought in two fresh players in the last couple of minutes and would have gotten an extra one in ET. While things looked dire nothing was decided yet.
Japan just had the one 2-1 victory against Scotland so far - also with one penalty btw - Netherlands has won every game. Getting this far doesn't seem so undeserving to me tbh.
Yes, that's the one. I think it looked worse initially because her arm snaps back once hit. I think it was clear that her arm was just hanging down by her side (not outstretched) before getting hit.
It used to be.
This WC has been close to the men's game in terms of the stoppages.
It's more the staying down for forever and hoping for VAR that makes it bad imo.
But that was always going to happen as the game grew tbh.
It's too effective.
games some years ago could go like 10-15 minutes with no stoppage at times. no joke.
No it has not. Unless you're adding VAR reviews on goals and offsides to those stoppages, these games aren't even in the same galaxy in regards to stoppage based on players flopping from the Men's WC. Neymar alone has more minutes of stoppage than all the minutes spent on players flopping in these games. Come on 😆
Edit: Neymar was clocked at 14 minutes of "injury" time wasting on his own during WC 2018.
They've been instructed to do so on offside. They're still able to call attention for free kicks and such. And there was at least one offside call they didn't wait for var refs to call for them
