They won against Chinese Taipei and Thailand, after qualifying for the playoff by drawing against Myanmar only, with some luck that India had to retire in the qualification because of covid issues.

I have to say, was waiting for some big defeat on this one, seeing this result is quite incredible.

 

Really really proud of our Navegadoras, i really hope this is the first of many!

And dear lord they were close to kicking USA out....

Portugal has a bright future in women's football and they are still on the rise. USA barely scraped through but it's not that surprising, this is an old team that relies on reputation more than anything. Even Alex Morgan is 34 years old already. They ain't fooling Father Time and the rest of the world has closed the gap now that there is more money in women's game. Sweden in R16 could really do some damage since they don't seem to play all that defensive anymore.

Lauren James , younger sister of Reece James came up with a historic performance with 2 goals and 3 assists in England victory over China 6-1

Only one of and (most likely) will reach semifinals.

 

Meanwhile, has a free path to this stage.

@vinipereiraWell, Spain would still be favored to beat Switzerland in R16 and I'm unsure if Netherlands can repeat what Japan did to Spain

I wouldn't call Spain a free path at all, Spain - Netherlands is a similar level quarterfinal to Norway - Sweden in my opinion.

Norway seemed weak to me, even though they scored a lot against Phillipines. Can't see them beat Japan.
