Much improved, although for these obvious incidents, there was no need for the jog over to the tv screen. Agreed, there's how many in the VAR room? Just tell its a penalty. I guess though, they're not there to referee the match? I think something like the U21 penalty where it was contentious then yeah, have a jog. But this was so cast-iron, it was pointless. I just like how cricket does things and that's generally my reference point.

Obviously Sv spel and bet365 were late when deciding odds on winners, but when they came just now after the first match of the tournament already played, they looked like this:
Bet365 Sweden 26,00 England 6,00
Sv spel Sweden 15,00 England 5,00
Sv spel lower than bet365, just as expected.
I put 80 SEK (£6) on Sweden as World Champs at bet365. It will give me 2088 SEK (£161) if it's correct.

I'm going to say it and I know its unpopular I'm not going to watch it and I'm not bothered who wins the women's World Cup I'm a bit tired of the BBC ramming ladies football down my throat, its not just football its now cricket too. I love watching football and listening to ex pros like Le-Tissier, Neville, Keane and so on, and I'm sorry but I can't do with listening to Karen Carney, Alex Scott etc I fully appreciate those that want to watch and get involved and maybe I should just turn over to another channel, maybe its just me Le Tissier an odd one to mention here given he’s gone completely off the rails

Sweden are like the Spain blokes team was. Always expected to do well but don't deliver Belgium. Yeah, Spain won it in 2010, and the Euros in 2008 and 2012. Insane really.

Anyway, on England…I wouldn’t write them off tbh. Mead and Williamson are big missed, but Lauren James seems like a whole new problem for opposition, Chloe Kelly has had the season of her life in the WSL this year and Russo has been ace up front too. Watched them live in the Arnold Clark in Feb and they played really good football, and Russo especially is such a clever finisher.

Now the commentators said McCabe should have had a card in the first half, at least yellow.

The swedish people have on Sweden-South Africa 1: 97% X: 1% 2: 2%
OMG!
Meaning, the tipping revenue will diminish to 1% of the current level if Sweden win, since it's 0-0 now ...

Really enjoyed the New Zealand game. Norway were disappointing but was really impressed with New Zealand.
One aspect I really liked was so much less cynical fouling throughout the game compared to the men's game, I found that refreshing tbh.

And 8 of the 32 nations in this tournament have never participated in a World Championship before. Many new players to watch. Fun! ⚽

Lots of interesting new teams and familiar WSL faces. I hope we do well and can be part of the ride.

35% of those taking part are Amateurs. I am not surprised that the BBC didn't want to overpay for the TV Rights. Tonights games:
21 July, 03:30: Nigeria v Canada - BBC
21 July, 06:00: Philippines v Switzerland - ITV
21 July, 08:30: Spain v Costa Rica - BBC I'd love to see the viewing figures.

Observations so far, only three games. So called lesser teams, low block, physical, organised! Some very questionable tackling, as I type red card for an awful tackle! So called better teams, clueless, pass, pass, pass going nowhere!
New Zealand were excellent!

I hope as the women’s game evolves they don’t mirror the histrionics that have taken over the mens game. Shocking red card tackle at the end there, the Canadian forward got up, they shook hands and the game continued. Refreshing to see…..

The entertainment has been a bit lacking so far but on some respects I’m glad the games have been tight, cagey affairs as it hopefully shows that the lesser nations are improving certainly in terms of fitness, tactics and organisation. 10-0 games do no one any favours….

To a certain extent, let's see after the Philippines game! 😬 I guess we were a bit spoiled by the last men's world Cup group games, the ones so far are more typical.

There's a Swiss player named Sow. I allow myself a childish smirk.

Bojan Djordic ... one of the two commentators before the Spain vs Costa Rica game. Spain obviously huge favourites, the only team to really threat England in the quarter final in the Euro Champs last time, according to Djordic.

It sounded like "Sweet dreams" by Eurythmics before the national anthem of Spain. Now the national anthem of Costa Rica ...
