Am I wrong in enjoying women's soccer more than the men's game? Less flopping amd pandering from calls makes the match flow better.

Just my opinion :yeshrug:

I can see where you're coming from. The women's soccer game is a bit more fluid and less physical than the mens game so you tend to see a bit more thought put into the offensive and defensive schemes of the women's soccer teams.

Cameroon has played much better in this second half. Just haven't been able to convert their scoring opportunities.

Nice show of sportsmanship by the Japan team here. I think so far, Japan has been the best team in the tournament. The quickness, their defense and their ability to operate efficiently inside the box area makes them a serious threat to go deep into this World Cup.

Yeah, not being a soccer head that's what stood out. Don't get me wrong as I did appreciate and recognize the men's for its superior talent. Enjoy it too, just find the women more fluid as you said.

Floppin isn't even that bad when you watch football regularly. It's just a part of the game. Once you see past it, its a fukking beautiful game. Women's is fun to watch, they just need to work on their finishing.

Ah man! Too little too late. What a great second half by Cameroon as they were able to up their offensive intensity. Could've won the game if they were able to convert their scoring opportunities as they came in spades. If they get through to the knockout stages, they could become the dark horse of this World Cup.

Japan played pretty well for the most part. I think they got a little relaxed the second half but was able to maintain their composure to get the win and advance to the knockout stage.

Woman on air analyst: "oh! What a good idea! The touch just a tiny bit heavy."

Wish the guy in the booth with her would just be like

"No. A simple pass is a goal there. She needs to look at where she is trying to pass. She can't just kick the ball and hope for good things to happen."
