Anyone watching these games? Good flowing football and they look a lot cuter than Nigel DeJong. Just seen Sweden beat Colombia and U.S. v. North Korea coming up. Do they have the daughter of Pak Do Ik? (That'd be the grandaugher by now.)

Mexico's goal yesterday was an absolute screamer. Although I always find goalkeepers in women's football a bit suspect

There has been some cracking goals in there!! The one by that Mexican senorita was simply fantastic.

I like the cut of yer jib laddy.

The lack of diving, cheating, whinging & general arseholery is refreshing.

All games so far have been close as well.

Sister of Fu must be penning a mother of all come backs over that comment........................

I'm not taking the piss here, but the ball always looks way too big in the ladies game.

The average age of the North korea team is 20 years old, and they started a 16 yr old against the usa...
ffs. crazy north Koreans.

The Aussies have a really young team too. We take on Brazil first up. Should be plenty of goals in this game.

I just watch it for goal celebrations like Brandi Chastain's.

Very well deserved equalizer for France. Can't see England survive the extra time. They look really knackered and France smell blood.

Looking forward to the Sweden-Australia game tomorrow. I was really surprised that Sweden beat the US in the last group stage game.

England and penalty shoot-outs, eh?

England and technique and penalties!

Karen Cairney was missing that penalty as soon as she stepped up to take it. Faye White has the technique of John Terry.

But fair play to the ladies, they played well, much easier to get behind them then Terry, Lampard, Gerrard and Co. Just a shame it took Parliments intervention for them to put it on BBC2.

Sorry but I´ve seen better from the kids out the back - Englands women just like the men. No skill, no first touch, long balls, slow, no movement , no imagination and of course can´t take penalties even against a midget keeper. France deservedly won , England were awful, just awful.
The FA will never get it right when it comes to national sides - never! Might as well accept it - I have!

Nippon just beat Germany. That was a big surprise.

That is a big suprise. I too am looking forward to the Oz Sweden match.

"This is what I feared would happen," admitted Germany coach Silvia Neid. "We were off colour against the side ranked fourth in the world. We weren't able to score goals and we weren't precise enough in our execution. You always have to worry about a good counter-attack against the Japanese. It is of course very unfortunate and very sad."

This depends of course upon your point of view. pmsl

fuck' em.

Sweden are 2-0 up against Oz after 15 minutes.
Australia is an alright team overall, but their defence is a shambles.
