Administrator Stan Posted August 7, 2023 Author Administrator Posted August 7, 2023 Weird as Nigeria better in the game but their penalties were atrocious.
Administrator Stan Posted August 7, 2023 Author Administrator Posted August 7, 2023 That's quality from Australia! What a counter. Foord finishing that off very coolly.
Moderator Tommy Posted August 7, 2023 Moderator Posted August 7, 2023 Come on Denmark, and my former facebook friend! To be fair, I have nothing against Australia either. May the best team win. Atmosphere wise it would be better for Australia to advance of course.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 7, 2023 Subscriber Posted August 7, 2023 You can see Denmark's passing game from a mile away. Someone needs to instill a sense of urgency in them.

I can see Australia getting one more chance pretty soon to go one more up because the longer this goes on the more Denmark is going to have to try and get something and that will just open them up.
Administrator Stan Posted August 7, 2023 Author Administrator Posted August 7, 2023 2-0 Australia! Well taken goal, Denmark look fatigued. Australia have more hunger about them.
Moderator Tommy Posted August 7, 2023 Moderator Posted August 7, 2023 Sam Kerr finally coming on! And the stadium goes wild. I got goosebumps.
Harry Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 Sam Kerr is probably the biggest name in Australian sport these days. So good to see her finally getting some game time
Harry Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 This is shaping up to be a very interesting world cup. Still lots of teams capable of winning it.
Moderator Tommy Posted August 7, 2023 Moderator Posted August 7, 2023 "Can you believe this shit?" Fun facts about Michelle Alozie (the player being stomped on): She holds a degree in molecular biology from Yale and, in addition to playing for the Houston Dash, works as a cancer research technician at the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.

That's unacceptable, she should obviously be focused on winning football matches. /s Nah but in all seriousness, that's very impressive!
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 8, 2023 Subscriber Posted August 8, 2023 Does the Australian Women's Football NT get paid equally compared to other sports in Australia? My guess is that they probably do.
Redcanuck Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 19 hours ago, Tommy said: That is such bullshit. Just because they have interests outside of football doesn't mean they can't focus on the game. Just like people blaming Germany's men's team World Cup exit on the rainbow coloured captain's armband. No Rapinoe and some of the others on the American team put their own political agenda ahead of representing their country and playing football. They were unfocused , and partial pre occupied with matters of the pitch and it showed in their play. They were lucky to get out of the group stage and only played well in their last game after the criticism back home grew to be too much to ignore.

She didn't take a hiatus from football did she? She hasn't stopped playing or gave up trying? She may have added the political angle because she became a big name and wanted to make people aware of the inequality. Did you have the same criticism for Rashford when he was focusing on the free meals for kids initiatives? Even in general did you have the same criticism for him raising awareness of political issues instead of just focusing on football?

You only say that because you don't agree with their views.

If they won you sure wouldn't be saying they rode to victory due to being fired up about a woke agenda would you?
Moderator Tommy Posted August 8, 2023 Moderator Posted August 8, 2023 So Colombia beat Jamaica 1-0 and will play England in the quarter finals.
