FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 || 7 June – 7 July, France
- Thread starter Peru
- Start date
Hey you forgot about the fries and chicken nuggets. How dare you discriminate food
So the final four is three countries who have never won the Women's World Cup, plus the USA. Not bad.
Yeah, it might not be very common though.
WC 94 Sweden had Brazil in the group, and met them in the Semi as well.
Only been 7 tournaments. US- 3, Germany - 2, Norway/Japan -1
If you look at the runner ups and semi finals of WC's... The teams become less surprising
England and the Netherlands would be first-time finalists, Sweden only a second-time finalist. Women's Football is very top-heavy but I still think it's a decent mix.
Basically I'm happy with whoever wins the tournament.
Really don't rate Lucy Bronze to the same level the press and pundits are hyping her (well going by the game the other day and her City days). She's good going forward but her tracking back was pretty woeful and Norway had loads of space to play on her side, especially when you consider Paris isn't defensively minded in the slightest. Thankfully Norway had nothing in the final third.
Ah. See I thought the 2 teams that advanced out of a group were always on the opposite sides of the draw. Then I remembered some 3rd place teams get in as well so....
Naw, England stands no chance ;)
Dutch only one that stands to make new history.
Copa America, Gold Cup, African Cup of Nations, and MLS!
Women weren't allowed to run before 1991. Strange evolution thing really
Good morning. In less than 3 days probably the White Kits from here will join others from around the California and New York. And you will be launching the greatest 4-2-4 battle in this history of USWNT.
USWNT -- that acronym should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests of a world cup final.
Perhaps its fate that today is 2 days before the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from "it's coming home" chants.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 2th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"
Today, we prepare trying to take out the USA in 2023!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"
Today, we prepare trying to take out the USA in 2023!
It would be sort of poetic if the Dutch women's team won a WC before the men.
But not this year, because It's Coming Home.
Time for England to kick the USA out of the World Cup just like we kicked them out of The Empire.
Holy shit really? that's pretty bad tbh.
to the fifa women's tourney starting in 91 i mean, didn't know.
Come on ladies to it for everyone rooting for you so you can then say F going to the White House
That was for the Cameroon team afaik. Women's running at the Olympics has been an official event since at least 1928.
He's talking about running as in running for competition for soccer/football internationally.
I know there was a FA ban from women being able to play in early 1900's-mid 1900's. Then in 1970's, ban was lifted, Italy creates womens team, Asia has created teams already and holds a cup which lead to Oceanic cup. Then 1980's UEFA molded more international teams in Europe, by end of 1980's you have established womens teams from various countries. Then get closer to 2000's+, you have African teams starting up. The US team i think was created in the 1980's, right in time for the inaugural 1991 Womens World Cup.
Oh haha. I got confused because there was an anecdote of an actual ban on running for women in some of the countries participating (though it may have been in the seventies)
The latter two. Rapinoe is not really equipped to track back and cover Lucy Bronze. Jill Ellis is betting that Christen Press is better suited to that task (and she's probably right). And she can always bring Rapinoe on as a terrifying super sub.
This is not tactical. Rapinoe not even warming up on sideline. She had tape on right leg yesterday.
Rapinoe and Kirby not starting is a HUGE plus for England.
Great to see Beth Mead come in too, miles better than Duggan.
