And there's the mandatory goal from a 'free kick' and shortly followed by a ludicrous yellow card that means England lose a player for the quarter final.

4-1 now.


The suspension just reminds how moronic that system is in football. Having players get suspended at random like this is just pointless. What purpose does it serve to have suspensions for a accumulated yellow cards across games? None whatsoever.

Now if they just did suspensions for cheating, some straight reds and other things like violent conduct that the referee misses - then that'd make sense.

6-1.

Only got home to watch the last 2 minutes :(

First penalty looked dodgy to me.

Don't know why the **** Carney didn't play. One of England's best options going forwards.

Was a pretty clear penalty just got the arm around and left it there as she ran behind and across Smith, pulling her off balance.

Quarter-finals:

Saturday 22 Sep - 09:00 GMT - Germany vs North Korea, Wuhan
Saturday 22 Sep - 12:00 GMT - United States vs England, Tianjin
Sunday 23 Sep - 09:00 GMT - Norway vs China, Wuhan
Sunday 23 Sep - 12:00 GMT - Brazil vs Australia, Tianjin

Winners of the Wuhan matches meet in the semis.

Germany should take care of North Korea, they won't be able to shoot so much with Germans at their feet constantly. England and Norway lack talent, and will probably go out to USA and China, while Brazil are solid throughout and will beat Australia.

Yessss, fantastic effort from the Matildas to make it to the quarters.

In a way, their road to the Quarters has mirrored that of the Socceroos last year, (grabbing a 2-2 draw to make it through)

Vimes doesn't know what he's on about imo, of course they'll beat Brazil :p:cool:

Norway 1-0 China.

The sort of thing coaches call a clinical performance and others call helpless lack of passing ability. Yeah, ok, it was flipping hot, but aiming for the corner flag with 5 minutes to go... :@
