Justice is served like 2 mins later. 2-0 Australia after more shambolic Canadian defense from a corner.

Huge let off for Canada as Australia 2nd goal from 5 meters out is cancelled due to offside. There was no way Buchanan would have blocked that shot to prevent the goal from that close range.

scores after 9 mins though VAR needed to cancel an offside call.

Japan wins 4-0 so the first R16 match-ups are set (on Saturday):

vs and vs

Group B to finish next and apparently Canada are rolling with Sinclair in the "11" while Sam Kerr is only on the bench for Australia.

3-0 for Japan in 1st half 

Spain has 77% ball possession and Japan does the counter-attacks

Mets have officially given up on the season and traded closer David Robertson to Marlins and Max Scherzer to Rangers.

Meanwhile Angels are making a rare post-season push in what could be Ohtani's last season there and traded for SP Lucas Giolito from White Sox.

Speaking of juniors, 16 year old Alina Korneeva just won the ITF 100k event in Figueira da Foz 6-0 6-0 in the final over Carole Monnet and could make the cut for the USO qualifying next month. As if Mirra Andreeva is the only 16yo Russian who will make waves on the big circuit. I wouldn't rule out Korneeva making some run now that she is probably done with the Junior Slams etc.

Upset of the tournament no doubt. beats 2-1.

That was indeed a terrible defending from Germany on the last corner. You can't get a more free header than that.

Since we talk comebacks, my club Ruch Chorzów returned to the top flights after six years absence and we got our first win (2-0) on Matchday 2 vs fellow promoted team ŁKS Łódź on Friday.

with a quick 2-0 lead vs so this means New Zealand has to beat Switzerland since goal difference counts ahead of a direct match between the two teams (which NZ won).

beat 1-0 so this sets up the ultimate decider between Morocco & Colombia in the final group match.

Brazil really needs to find a new star player or two to compete vs the powerhouses of the women's game now.

France vs Brazil 1-1 after 77 mins.

Sweden wins 5-0! I imagine there will be major pressure for Italy to avoid disaster vs South Africa.

Another corner, another goal for Sweden. Italian keeper just slicing thin air. Well, they better get ready for USA in R16 then.

takes the lead vs after another Ilestedt header from the corner.

Anna Kiełbasińska has WD from the National Champs 200m final due to Achilles pain and her World Champs appearance is suddenly uncertain.

This is definitely a sharp contrast to Poland who always tries to enter as many athletes as possible - even if some of them are ineligible like in swimming at the last two SOG If there is any B-standard, wild card, world ranking loophole or whatever else, we will sniff around it

played with 10 men since 28th minute and they beat 1-0. Not the best referee performance from Huerta de Aza, misjudged the physical nature of this game and I still don't know how China didn't get that second penalty decision a few minutes after the first one.

This is some mess. Haiti gets a soft penalty but ref is called back to VAR and takes it away. Oh, well. It was soft contact in first place and China should have had a second penalty themselves before.

takes the lead after VAR negated an offside in the build-up to a clear foul in the box. 1-0 from PK.

Red card for after 28 mins. VAR had to step in but that was obvious studs up on knee foul. Big chance for now.

England leads Denmark 1-0 but Keira Walsh is off with a knee injury.

Late goal from Kennedy makes little difference. with a huge upset 3-2 over  

So Australia has to beat Canada in the final group match to advance.
