Fun stat from here: https://theathletic.com/news/uswnt-haiti-concacaf-w-championship/pIUC3Mj0Qpjq/

With the victory, USWNT has now won 27 consecutive matches in CONCACAF tournaments dating back to 2010, outscoring opponents 139-0 in those matches.

Well.

Anyone itt fancy making a thread for the women's euros? Be nice to try and make a fuss about the only international tournament this summer

I saw the Portugal WNT bus parked outside the old Debenhams in Liverpool the other day. The bus was empty so maybe they went to the chippy over the road idk

Dang, two goals lost to offsides already.

Also, watching the replays of the second actual goal, the arc of the Jamaican defender's leg seemed to be entirely inside the goal, so I have to imagine the ball did cross the line before she kicked it out.

Well that was a rather ho-hum 5-0 win

e: Holy hell, Mexico lost 3-0 to Haiti. They need to beat the US (lifetime record: 1W 29L 1D) and Haiti-Jamaica needs to not end in a draw in order to even have a prayer of making next year's World Cup. Looking forward to stadiums being even emptier after the host country crashes out of the tournament scoring 0 goals.

CONCACAF W final will be US vs. Canada (Monday, 10PM EST), as most expected. Both teams had a perfect group stage, scoring 9 and conceding 0, and won their semifinal matchup 3-0 <insert Spiderman pointing meme here>. Winner qualifies directly for the 2024 Olympics.

Third place match will be Jamaica vs. Costa Rica (Monday, 7PM EST), with the winner of that match playing the loser of the final next year for the other CONCACAF spot in the Olympics.

All 4 of these teams have qualified directly for next year's World Cup in Australia/New Zealand, while Panama and Haiti (3rd place group finishers) will go to a intra-confederation playoff for the three outstanding spots.

It does not feel like the USWNT is going to beat Canada. C'mon team, prove me wrong.

Dunno, seems like the US has had much better moments thus far and has been doing a decent job on the counter.

Certainly more exciting than the 3rd place game for sure (Jamaica won 1-0 scoring at 102' with the only SOG that wasn't travelling 2MPH straight at the keeper).

edit: Pugh should've buried that ffs

Not an amazing tournament, but the USWNT did what it needed to. Personally, I'd like to see Rodman and Purce get a little more time going forward.

For as underwhelming as the US looked during that match, they made Canada look even worse. Canada pretty much nothing going forward and they were forced into quite a few midfield turnovers that led to counters that should've led to some goddamn goals.

Considering her age, Canada is still frighteningly reliant on Christine Sinclair to make them look good in attack against decent teams. What the hell are they going to do when she actually retires?

The eternal geniuses at the football federation decided to change the way the Norwegian women's league, Toppserien, works. The new system was postponed for two years due to corona, but it was finally implemented this year and it's a mess.

Instead of having a normal winner and relegation playoff at the end of the season it's now split into a "regular season" where the ten teams play a regular set of matches against each other until the table is sorted and then divided into a Top Four group and a Bottom Six. The Top Four start the playoff with 6, 4, 2 and 0 points depending on where they ended up, and then they play two games against each other and the winner and runner-up gets the Champions League spots for next year. Meanwhile the Bottom Six gets joined by the Top Two from the 1st Division and they play to avoid relegation, with the #7 and #8 team getting relegated, while the #6 team plays a qualifier against the winner of the Bottom Eight in the 1st Division.

Now that leaves 5 teams at least with not much to gain or lose from playing a new round of games as they're pretty safe from relegation and originally the thought was to give the best team in the Bottom Six the 2nd Champions League spot, so they have something to play for. But that was changed... uhhh... a week before the season started. Which kinda tracks with the intention of this change being to increase the co-efficiency of the Norwegian league in the UEFA rankings, by having the best teams in the league play more games against each other and thus get more practice against tougher teams. But there's so many downsides to this change and I think one of the coaches for one of the Top Four teams proposed just doing a playoff league with two best Swedish and Danish teams, which sounds infinitely better and more practical.

NRK sent out a questionnaire to every team and player in the league and one (1) player was positive towards the new system.

We're entering the final stage of the "regular season" and the supporter groups for five clubs (including three of the top clubs) are refusing to acknowledge the system. Which in effect means that they're boycotting all the matches in the Top Four-playoff and are calling it quits after August 28th.
