That's a biiiiig stadium, it's gonna get real loud if Australia scores.

Ah, I know now. Normally I’d pick that kind of thing up from commentary but contract disputes mean I have to watch the Spanish broadcast, which is a lot more exciting but I don’t understand a thing

Ireland have impressed so far but Sweden looks like they're gonna score fairly soon.

I am 100% signing McCabe when the Football Manager with women's leagues finally releases. Love me physical poo poo-housing defenders.

e: Oh poo poo, and she can play up at left winger? Yeah, 100% certified buy.

McCabe is such a weapon, she reminds me of Kerr in the way she's much stronger than her size would suggest.

Generally agree, although that almost worked to their advantage on that second-to-last corner

How has Ada Hergerberg been playing? Is the Norwegian media setting her up as a scapegoat if they get dumped out at the group stage?

Middle of the tree. And no, the blame is being put on the coach and team as a whole at the moment.

quote:

No surprises in the team selection, but the team looks completely paralyzed and terrified. How has Riise's entrance to the match been? Have there been too many messages, so that they know how to play freely? New Zealand has no issues playing through the team. Many players perform below par. Big pressure and opening game, yes, but Riise should get a lot more out of this team.

quote:

Will the Norwegian team now fall too far behind against nations they are usually supposed to control the games against? And by extension: Does Hege Riise's system make it more difficult in the national team for the offensive stars?

Because where are they? Where is Graham Hansen? Hegerberg? Reiten? There's no telling how enamored international experts are with these three. Both The Guardian and The Athletic refer to Norway's offensive power as one of the very, very best in the tournament, but now that force needs to appear soon.

The trio dominates in leagues in major nations, but was barely seen in the World Cup opener. They surely feel a little of the same as Martin Ødegaard and Erling Braut Haaland do. Life on the national team is something completely different from life on the club team.

There are no top players no matter where they turn, there are not the same passes, the same runs, the same help behind them. Here, they have to do the work themselves, and that transition is unlikely to be easy.

quote:

- Look at the body language of the Norwegian players, that they constantly expect someone else to cover that space. If everyone does that, no one ends up picking up those players, and that's what's happening now. No one takes responsibility in decisive situations [...]
