The matches today aren't great 

Will probably watch start of Canada vs Ireland 

You say that but some of the games I thought would be duds like England / Haiti and France / Jamaica have been very entertaining.

What did you make of offside call for NZ disallowed goal Muz? Literally millimeters of head position in it?

Her Sleeve was clearly off on the VAR graphic, I think that's what they go by these days so it seemed the correct call. 

Japan were dominant as expected, them and Spain will be through once Spain beats Zambia. Massive game tonight Canada v Ireland.

Who we going for in Ireland vs Canada? 

Draw 

Hope Japan can with throw group so the chance of a USA Spain quarter final is a bit higher. 

Draw. But Ireland up already.

@balin
Hate mm offsides. But yeah her head was off. Was cheering the house down when they scored.

So many Irish in the crowd is sounds like a European fixture.

This ref is playing prison rules.

Tackles flying in.

Canada with a goal just before half time and then one after. 

Canada well on top in the second half.

Ouch Portugal lead Vietnam 2:0 and that's there tournament over.

Very nice goal for England to lead Denmark.

South Africa Argentina with a thrilling 2:2

This is like a training match so far for England. 

And on cue Denmark start to show some threat.

Felicitas Rauch, the German left back, is out of the tournament with a knee issue. Kira Walsh being carted off as we speak for England,

Denmark hitting the post like that late. Luck for England. England with 2 wins cruising to win the group. 

Let's go Haiti for the upset 

That penalty for Haiti. Interesting. Headed clear but the climb and arm to attackers head. Right onto the back though. VAR takes it back. I guess it's the right call. 

haiti robbed.

How did they not get a penalty at the end? That is so dodgy 

How can Haiti, one of the most impoverished countries in the world, be playing and producing such good footballers?

They've been super impressive.

Maybe we need to look at their curriculum.

Kids in impoverished countries still play in the streets with often improvised footballs rather than sitting at home on various devices.They develop that necessary good first touch which then becomes instinctive and they are playing for fun.Later the better ones might get money for playing so there is a hunger to succeed.

Most of their players based in France or the US.

What a goal by France. Great game so far.

Now Brazil miss a virtual sitter.

Watched France Brazil tonight and Sweden italy. We are so far behind the place we don't have a hope if we get out of the group. And that's if we get out of the group.

Joe Montemurro, hosting on Optus, is as charismatic as a block of polystyrene.

Knows his stuff but blimey.

Sweden play a hard & fast game with good technique- hope they can beat USA if they meet. Matildas need to deliver good crosses like Swedes do- probably Matildas best chance to score 

I really want to get into the optus daily show they put out but it's hard. They do coverage with the kids clinic which drags on. I wish we had pundits that were like the ones in England I don't care if they are male or female.

Kate abdo and the lasses on sky are great. The former players are good value as well. Needs to be a mixture of informative but also funny
