FIFA Women's World Cup

Columbia come out with a plan to swing the ball from side to side, and it's a goal. Jamaica almost strike back with a header hitting the post. That will be their mode to score

[MiketheSnow]

Finally

[canefan]

Columbia have shut up shop, leaving themselves open to an equaliser. But Jamaica have no forward threats. Barely any shots on goal

[canefan]

Jamaica have wasted two crosses now, one header hit the post and one just went wide.

[MiketheSnow]

Smart football from Colombia

[canefan]

Columbia England will be interesting. The Poms didn't look comfortable vs Nigeria, just too physical. Columbia are not as physical, and left themselves open defensively enough times in the second half for a quality opposition to score

[canefan]

The Sky analysts just said the Jamaican team was not supported by their national football federation. They crowd funded their campaign, which is crazy

[MiketheSnow]

France v Morocco next

Replay of men's 2022 SF

[canefan]

On paper France should do this easily. But so many games have been unpredictable in this tourney

[canefan]

France open the scoring after tearing the Moroccan defence apart, their striker gets an unmarked header in the 16 yard box. I thought they were settling a bit, but that was a bad lapse

[MiketheSnow]

Looking ominous

[canefan]

France in again. Morocco not dealing with the French intensity, they can't maintain possession. That second goal was a corker, this could get very messy

[NTA]

Wow Morocco. That was shit

[MiketheSnow]

Rout on the cards

France are on a totally different level. The game is over after 24 minutes

[canefan]

The French girls aren't there to fuck spiders. Trying to pile on the goals right now

Matildas are going to be in trouble

Every game is different of course. But France isn't Denmark. Their skill and pace tonight is as good as I've seen so far in the tourney

[MiketheSnow]

Well this is over as a contest, so

8 from 8 in the round of 16 predictions (wish I'd put money on now)

QF - winners bolded

Spain v Netherlands
Japan v Sweden
Australia v France
England v Colombia
