Yeah, but this team is way too old to make an impact anymore.

Brazil is useless without Marta & Cristiane who got taken off for what reason exactly? Don't tell me a 41yo Formiga is still good enough for a first 11 spot? No depth at all. I can see Italy winning this group now tbh.

And VAR says it should stand. Probably the right call.

Own goal disallowed by offside...

Australia pulls one back.

Australia's women have equal pay to men? Based on what? Another defensive howler and Christiane heads in!

Brazil takes the lead via Marta penalty. Australia had a penalty rejected after a handball in the build-up two mins earlier.

vs about to start. Clare Polkinghorne who made epic mistakes in the Italy game has been relegated to the bench. Marta is back for Brazil.

If you play 5% ball and 95% player it's always a foul hence the penalty was correct.

Australia also represents Asia these days Moreover North Korea are a much better team than Thailand but they were eliminated in Asian Cup qualifiers on goal difference by South Korea (five team group) while Thailand only played two teams to make the Asian Cup finals (beat Taiwan 1-0 in the ultimate decider). And 5 from 8 teams from Asian Cup finals made it into the World Cup. So there was a great deal of luck for Thailand to get here and they were badly exposed straight away.

You forgot about the most important thing there-- MONEY!!! Men's football generates so much more money, Carli Lloyd can walk around downtown London with a "I'm a World Cup winner" neon T-shirt and nobody would recognize her. Football (soccer) is a global game. Other than Alex Morgan & Hope Solo I don't see any single player who can even remotely aspire for a global status and let's be honest, Morgan is still best known for her Sports Illustrated shoots than actually playing football. Who can name the club she actually represents? Because I sure as heck can't without uncle Google's help and I'm watching football for over 30 years.

Nigeria wins 2-0 but I still don't see them advancing from 3rd spot here.

Collective mental error from defense & keeper and takes the lead.

Armand Duplantis has signed a mega deal with Puma so he is officially done with the NCAA crap

As in "female was hitting people" https://www.tmz.com/2014/06/21/hope-solo-arrested-for-domestic-violence/

Again, I see nothing wrong with Solo's behaviour tbh. US media have probably exaggerated all of that. Gatlin hasn't made up for any of his mistakes IMO. Letting him off the hook is downright absymal.

You mean when she attacked her boyfriend or what was that all about? Geez, that's like ancient history. Well, Sweden parked the bus at the Olympics, no wonder she lost her temper She's by no means worse than doping cheaters like Gatlin or Marion frickin' Jones. And she was probably kicked out of the US Soccer system for demanding more money for the players IMO.

Banned for what? Running your mouth is a popular way to become popular in US sports

Ref should have blown it at 90 mins. This is torture...

Mallory Pugh 11-0... they will go for the 12th for sure...

Fuck, they score goals faster than I can type... Morgan with her 4th...

Morgan 8... Rapinoe 9... still 10 mins left for the double digits..

And it's seven...
