There’s some pretty brutal footage from international women’s football games. The hair pulling, kicking, biting, elbows.

Netherlands v Japan

Fantastic match.

All Japan second half, just couldn't put the ball in the net.

Netherlands through to QF with a 2-1 win.

They have higher concussion rates than the men's game as well. I think it's just a reflection of the fact that nobody hates women more than other women.

Just saw some highlights of China versing Italy. China goalkeeper misses one, team mate seen screaming at her after...

Well they're probably off to the Chinese Gulag after losing, so I'd be screaming to.

Also wash your fookin mouth out with that talk, you know what I mean!

Great series of QF matches.

Super competitive this time round.

Massive SF tonight for England taking on USA.

Netherlands v dark horses Sweden tomorrow night.

An England v Netherlands final would be good for the game with 2 new teams contesting for the title.

[Bovidae]

I intend to watch the England-USA game. It would be nice to see the Yanks put in their place, but they have a habit of winning.

[Bovidae]

The English centre backs haven't been too convincing. USA's defence has been flakey too but they look much more dangerous going forward.

[Bones]

@Bovidae I don't know much about soccer but England are way too stand offish on defence and far too many unforced errors with the ball. USA just don't make them.

[Bovidae]

@Bones Too much route one football from England as well.

The commentator said that Spain got in USA's faces in their game so that is what England needs to do. Deny them time on the ball and space.

[canefan]

I hear that Megan Rapinoe didn't start for the USA. Any reason why?

[Bovidae]

@canefan Suspected injury as she wasn't involved in the warmups.

But she is on the bench though

Wow! That was a long VAR!!! Pen England to square up the match

Which is saved!

[Bovidae]

What a limp PK. Should have given it to White.

[Bones]

Well fuck. Krieger is on! Surely that's cheating.

[Bovidae]

So very England!

2-1 to the USA if anyone cares.

They only scraped in against a poorly performing England. Can't say I agree with the studio that they're odds on for Sunday.

[Bovidae]

I'd like the Dutch to win it, assuming they get past Sweden.

England could have won that game but didn't take their chances. USA did what they needed to do.
