FIFA Women's World Cup 2015


Recommended Posts

I'm sorry my English friends, I'm cheering for Mexico right now. 7 or so of the players are from California. One even born in the same place that I was.

Seems like this has been getting as much attention as the regular World Cup, just wanted to make a thread for discussion. Moderators, please lock this thread if needed, I don't know if I should post about this in the Footy Desk.

 

Not.

 

I mean, I guess in the States this could be true but I can't even find news about it in Italian and Portuguese sites. A bit better on Spanish ones. Female football is definitely not popular in Europe. And now with the Copa America chances are people will completely forget there is a female football WC goin on.

Yeah, it's definitely getting good coverage here in the USA. That's because 1) we actually have a good team, and 2) the media doesn't miss the chance to jump all over this "USA vs. the World" bullsh*t. So it's even over-hyped quite a bit.

 

But it's been pretty good to watch. The officiating has been appalling, though. One game there were two clear offside goals allowed. I think the Colombia/France game a Colombian defender purposefully used their hand to knock the ball out of the way of a French attacker and no call was given. And there have got to be other howlers that I can't remember. It's pretty entertaining in that respect also :p

I know it's the same sport but I would really have to force myself to watch it.

Can't explain why but I guess it's a similar sensation for you guys if you were watching the Superbowl played by girls.

I have watched hundreds of game of your country's equivelent of Lega Pro and Serie C and the Women's World cup it's just like that.

There is a women's American football team funny enough.

It's called the LFl and they literally play in bras and panties and shoulder pads, hits are pretty brutal and injuries are common. Their matches are broadcast on YouTube.

I knew about the Lingerie one of course. ;):pp

South, I'm just not interested in watching girls playing football. Truth to be told I don't watch Lega Pro or Serie C matches either. :D

One thing that is so nice about women's football is a general lack of playacting and harassing the referee. These women often appear tougher than the men. Players get knocked down and then get right back on their feet and carry on.

 

@Doc, I recommend at least trying to catch a semi-final game where the intensity will be up a notch. You may be surprised. Although, if you're in Europe I doubt the broadcasting time will be favorable for you!

Now look what you did, you caused them to lose 5-0 in yesterdays game! :p

Alex Morgan is way hotter. Plus she went to Cal so that is major points for me.

She's from just up the road from me, in Diamond Bar. Like half of team Mexico, hey-oh!

she hasn't really featured much, though, has she? But yeah, she's the best looking on the team for sure. Even Megan Rapinoe is kinda cute in that subtle, not-sure-if-lesbian kind of way.

Not acknowledging Necib.

 

Terrible taste, Press > Morgan by a mile though.

 

Brazil, Colombia and Mexico all had pretty nice players.

 

Also knockout phase has begun, post your predictions;

Canada will cheat their way to the Quarter finals, as we can tell by South-Korea during the World Cup, that´s how far cheaters can go.

 

USA beating China is a possibility. So is France losing to South-Korea, but they picked up their form in their recent game. Big suprise has been Norway which are in great form, they´ll beat Canada because Canada is bad and MIGHT lose to Japan. Brazil MIGHT beat Japan as well, but Japan have been playing better than Brazil.

 

Here's an empty format;

Is the USA women's team as good as the men's? I remember Dempsey and Howard were the stars last year in the World Cup.

 

Far better. The USA women's team is capable of actually winning world cups.

USA women's team is definitely top 4 teams in the world. However they haven't been performing like it so far this World Cup, so I think they'll lose before reaching the finals.

 

2-0 for Germany right now, just 2 more goals and my prediction was 10/10.
