FIFA Women's World Cup

Very dramatic although I could have done with getting to bed after 90 minutes. Wanted USA to go through solely because Sweden aren't very exciting to watch and I'm heading to Eden Park to see them. At 3-2 up in the pens, USA managed to fail to hit the target 3 times out of 4 - that's letting your goalkeeper and your team down badly. No idea why Rapinoe hasn't already retired - laughing after missing a penalty will make sure she gets lots of US abuse in the near future.

They already got a lot of shit for the equal pay thing and even more so the not singing the national anthem issue. She is the lightning rod for that. But in truth they played 3 games and couldn't score a field goal. Just didn't have much of an edge up front

Just saw Rapinoe's miss. That is glorious. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

A good two minute summary of normal and extra time.
The save from Horan low to her left was the best - watching in real time I thought that was in.

Great first half
England under the pump
Could easily be 2 down
But should have been awarded a penalty for blatant shove in the back in the box
-
Good
Filth
Big learning curve from the commentators
Fuck off
Call it out for what it is?
Petulant shit from a player who hasn't had her own way
Flat track

@MiketheSnow did I just hear the Comms say it wasn't intentional?
She fucking even pushed herself up off the player.

@Machpants Shades of Zidane!

If it gets to penalties then England will have done supremely well

One of the aspects where women's soccer is so much better than men's is the lack of theatrics. Clear red card and must have hurt a bit, but the Nigerian player only complained a bit about it. Any male player would have died multiple times over and rolled around the floor like a ran over cat.
Of course, they are terrible players, technically (compared to the men), but still.
