Brasil get their first and the only surprise is that it didn't come sooner.
WWC23 | England v Spain - Spain win the World Cup - and Rubiales gets sacked
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
It's going to be a long game for Panama...
Geyse in, Skinner is watching closely!
That feckin drummer can do one!
A much more "form book" day for the big teams. France v Brazil is going to be interesting..
Brazils 3rd goal was so good.
Jennyfer Limage - the Haiti player who went off in a lot of pain during the England match now confirmed to have ruptured her ACL
Goal of the tournament so far?
Marc Skinner is probably watching the WC hoping our transfer targets do badly so we have a chance of affording to buy them 
Korea v Colombia finish off the first rotation of matches.
Then it's back to where we started but with NZ as favourites in their match against the Philippines. A win for them would put a lot of pressure on Norway to beat Switzerland and Switzerland are seldom easy to beat.
Table now:
Switzerland +2GD 3 points
NZ +1 3 points
Norway -1 0 points
Philippines -2 0 points
Meanwhile, if the Norwegian press are right, Caroline Graham-Hansen and Ingrid Engen won't be starting for Norway "for tactical reasons" - a bold move from the manager if true.

I think it might be
Engen is shite. Not starting Graham is criminal though.
Manuela Vanegas with a very high boot to Son Hwa-yeon's face. Obviously it is a yellow card.

Colombia in the lead in the 30th minute, from the penalty spot. It was a hand ball against the South Korean defender.
WHAT WAS THAT? 
There's no way it should be a goal. That's a Karius by the South Korean goalkeeper, Yoon Young-geul!

Phillipines weather the home town early advantage and looking better
Ridiculous from the reporter at that Moroccan press conference - insensitive and reckless.
I've just switched on the match. Are the Philippines looking good for their lead? NZ don't see to have quite the same energy today.
We started well, lots of control of the ball but no real chances created. The Phillipines just kept growing into the game. I can’t complain I think Phillipines deserve their lead
I remember seeing Annalee Longo as a 12 year old rep trialist a long time ago, she was head and shoulders above everyone else. She has only just recovered from acl injury, hope she goes well. Olivia chance can be very tricky and direct
Disappointing header from a good move.
Bugger
Finally NZ draw level.
Yes!! Coached her a a 14 and 15 year old
Nooooo offside dammit
Or don't. Offside called - must have been an inch in it. Really tight call that, didn't feel offside.
Just seen the offside call and I still think they guessed.
tiny margin on the offside. Just not our night I think
Good save from the Philippines keeper, NZ running out of time.
What a save
You just have to take your chances. We didn’t.
Philippines get their first ever tournament win. NZ miss a great chance to get to the knockouts - really disappointing for them after their win over Norway.
Still all to play for in the final matches of the group.

Vilde Boe Risa starts for Norway. Caroline Graham-Hansen doesn't.
Hegerberg walks off the pitch just before kick-off!
Hegeberg definetely protesting Graham-Hansen being benched.. we will struggle this game.
Switzerland warming up first - could be one up now.
Do you reckon? Would be shocking if that's true - very hard for a squad with that kind of conflict to focus on football.
