Uruguay defeated Romania 26-20 on the second tour match. I went to the stadium, however it will take some days until I upload the photos.

The match was on Saturday. Today on Monday there's still news about the match. https://www.latercera.com/canal/el-deportivo/ https://digital.elmercurio.com/2022/07/18/P

I have watched a few matches of the Women's World Cup, and I'm not enjoying the gameplay as much as I could. First of all, there's too few goals. Out of the first 40 matches, the average score was 2.7 - 0.7. The lost didn't score any goal in 17 matches, and there was one 0-0 draw. In addition, most goals are from set plays. Only 54 out of 137 goals were field goals (39%). I think that field hockey needs some rules changes to increase the number of field goals. - o - I would make the goal a little wider, and increase the penalty circle to 18 m. In addition, I would add a 3m goalkeeper-only circle.
