FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 || 7 June – 7 July, France
- Thread starter Peru
- Start date
Sweden deserves top 3. Hell, they have had a great Cup and except for a matter of inches could be in the finals rn, and they gave the USA some trouble in their earlier match.
One of my favorite teams to watch in this tourney. Looking forward to worrying about them in 2023 :)

Congratulations Sweden!
England shouldn't feel bad either, the game against USA could've easily gone their way with a bit more luck.

3rd place game is a shitshow, they need to drop it from all competition, forcing teams who were that close to the final to play a meaningless game is just another FIFA fuckery...
Meaningless for you perhaps, but winning that game means the world to others. Also, Olympic hockey also has a third place game as well.
What? 3rd place on the world stage is HUGE, and far from meaningless.
some of these teams are funded way less than others so getting that high of a finish is always a win
I'm gonna try to stream the final today. Any reason to go hulu tv vs. fubo? I'm not subscribing to either, just wanna watch the game and stream on chromecast if possible.
It's just that no team ever really wants to play the match, let alone feel good about winning it. It's not so much as 'getting third' as it is 'missed the finals'.
USA 4 - 1 Netherlands
Martens(o.g.) 9'
Miedema(o.g.) 14'
Van Veenendaal (p)(o.g.) 68'
Van de Donk(o.g.) 85'
Morgan(o.g.) 90'

The Swedish team seems preeeeetty happy about their win, so I'm not sure what you mean?
I'm talking in general sense. The 'feel good about winning it' might not be entirely accurate, but in general the loser's final is not something players look forward to or want to play. You often see teams swapping out multiple players from the A-team, scores being inflated compared to other results and other issues.
It's oftentimes a less serious match.
I don't see how any of that applied to yesterdays game, so seems pointless to bring it up
That's cool and all, but I wasn't the one who brought it up, I'm just reacting to the conversation just like you did.
We should win, but I wouldn't be surprised if we lost. All it will take is one mistake, and it's lights out.
My comment where about the specifics in your comment I replied to. But sure, the whole idea, and not just your comment, about the third place game not being important is not something that I agree with or see how it applies to yesterdays game.
Not sure I would go that far. Netherlands is an attacking minded team so they are likely to give up some goals against the firepower of the US
We just need to make sure the US hasn't decided the game in their favor in the first hour or so. They've shown that especially late in the game they get weaker.
Well, even though the USA is the better team and they had more time to recuperate...I'm predicting a 1-2 win for NL. Surviving the first half will be critical, we've got a tenacious team, they might just be able to drag out a win, though it probably won't be pretty.
