That’s it. NZ fucks it. Jesus at least kick it at the fucking target.

Fuck being a keeper

[gt12]

Our keeper is so fucking weak

All of our shots should have gone to the keeper's left

Good win to Japan. At least I stay in the game.

A penalty shootout about as hapless as an English effort

Woud never got close to any of them

We had reached our ceiling this trip

Those were good penalties from Japan. A good effort to take the hosts to pens.

For those on UK coverage, Dina Asha Smith just gave a career making interview.

Wonderful, genuine, emotional interview. Absolute gem.

Absolutely gutted for the Olywhites right now, but tomorrow morning they should feel proud of getting through to the knock outs at the Olympics.

That team have a promising future in full seniors. More skilled than any AW team I've seen before

Stensness is a DM but ended up playing as a centre back. Pijnaker also impressed so we have some depth now. We just need to be more clinical on attack.

Yup. Wood is EPL clinical when he gets a sniff of the ball in front of goal. We need to be more positive in possession. But there are signs, the second goal vs Honduras was a beautiful goal

I still find it amazing that the Olympics is the pinnacle of running. The best of the best. Happens every 4 years only.

But we can't do better than pinning your name onto your singlet with safety pins.

A couple of giant Swedes take gold and silver in discuss throwing.
