I suspect my SIL may have to run on and play if this gets any worse....
May as well put the US names on the trophy now.
Very disappointing.

About 10 mins to full-time the dog started fussing to go out. 'Oh well,' I thought 'I won't miss anything'.

Gave up at half time.
On last night's form we'd have won aganst either of those two, so we should win the third place play-off. As you say, they might just as well put USA on the trophy now and not bother with the final.

..disappointing ending to the tournament....not even getting a bronze medal.....parallels with the men.....getting to the semis without really beating anyone of note....and then losing out when facing the quality teams.....

Oh stop talking nonsene Horace! We were in a group with Japan who certainly are a team of note! They were finalists in 2015. We also beat a good team in Norway.
I know they are female, mate, but try and have a good word for them. It won't hurt.

Typical - a penalty awarded under VAR, I know its 2 - 0 now but not sure who is the better team

Interestingly quite a few of the winning team are reaching retirement age, so one of the commentators said they need to invest in the grass roots of the game to bring on the next generation. My Dutch SIL reckons that the Netherland's male team suffered from too many retiring at the one time leaving them to start from scratch. They used to be dominate in most tournaments, now they struggle to qualify.

Didn't know they gave out Bronze Medals. The US player with a problem with Trump is quite a player. Well deserved winners. |
