US plays tonight. 9:00 on Fox.
Marta is playing in her 6th WC.

Fox coverage sucks. But what's new. They have the worst NFL coverage too.
Their audio is terrible. I can barely make out what the announcers are saying over the crowd noise. They need to fix that.
US needs to get their asses in gear or they are going to lose to Netherlands. Not impressed with this coach so far.

There were organized watch parties across... well, I don't *know* if it was all of Australia or just the greater Sydney area, but we watched the first half with a bunch of locals on their village green.

France-Brazil and Colombia-Germany were the two best matches so far. Hoping Jamaica can get the draw at least against Brazil to advance.

French coach seemed to be a bit of an ass.

A lame 0-0 draw against Portugal for USA. Likely sets them up to face Sweden in the next round. Sweden has looked solid this World Cup while the USA has underperformed.

This team is getting blasted in the media. I haven't read anything about their fight for pay equal to the men's team yet, but I feel like it will be coming.
I doubt I will even watch this game. I admit, I don't watch any soccer. Just the Olympics and WC. I don't even recognize most of the names. LaValle, Rapino, Ertz and that's all I can think of right now. I'd have to see a roster to see if any of the names pop out to me. (Dunn and Morgan are two more.)
And where did we get this coach? He seems to resemble a bump on a log.

Soccer sucks.
And can we fire this coach as soon as he steps off of that plane?

I turned it off after they finally showed the VAR of the goal. I doubt that I will watch any more of it. I'm sure that I won't be the only one to not watch anymore. Fox is going to take a hit there I'm sure.

This World Cup happening in Australia wasn't going to get big ratings. And the the USA didn't win their group, so they got the 5am EST broadcast instead of playing last night at 10pm. But now the majority of USA soccer fans won't watch the remainder with games taking place in the early morning. Early prediction is that we get a Japan-England Final.

Jamaica says otherwise. Imagine them defeating Colombia and going further than USA and Canada.

Australia's semi final loss to England last night was the most watched show in aussie TV history.
Pretty cool for a country that has been super slow to embrace women's sport, and doesn't really care very much about soccer.
Plenty were watching by means other than TV, too

Spain defeats England, 1-0, to claim their first Women's World Cup title.
