2019 Women's World Cup

[LMAO]

Also one of the rare times I'd give the opposition GK POTM.

Without her, it could've easily been an embarrassing scoreline.

8 WWC appearances
5 Final appearances
3x Third Place
1x Second Place
4x World Champions

or , how do you spell DYNASTY

Not close to being as dominant as USA basketball (men & women), but I'd put our girls slightly above the All Blacks and on the level of Australia cricket.

Can't really compare because hundreds of participating women in this WWC aren't even established professionals due to lack of funding/exposure.

More than half a dozen of European countries lost out on WWC because competition for places is 100 times fiercer than in is the case in, for example, Asia.

Belgium, who failed to qualify, put 6 past the same Thailand that got trashed by the USA 2 weeks later.

It's why the level of play at the Euros is significantly higher than at the WWC - even without the likes of USA and Brazil participating.

[Arsenal Tone]

I reckon the USA women's team would beat the USA men's team (or at least give them a bloody good game). I'm not joking either.

[LMAO]

Most goals ever scored in a WWC: 26 (USA, 2019)
Previous record: 25 (USA, 1991 & Germany, 2003)

Need to figure out a way to make USA and Brazil participate in the Euros, similarly as is now the case with Japan and Qatar at the Copa America.

They'd still be favorites but would face much greater competition and it'd be great for the further exposure of women's football.

Win-win for everyone.

[Losmeister]

Add Japan, Canada, Australia, and China, and I'd be down. It'd be a party for sure.

You can see the investment from European nations paying off. 4/8 participants in the QF in 2011 and 3/8 in 2015 to 7/8 this year. The first European finalist since Germany in 2007. The gap between America and Europe is closing, and it'll be good for the women's game in the long run if there's greater parity at the top.

No doubt. Even more European countries would've been up there if qualifying chances were more determined by quality rather than geographical location.

interesting... but , also, USA doesnt play cricket or rugby really... ya think we wouldn't kill everybody at rugby if our USfootbal players played? or our baseball players played cricket... its a joke. we'd kill them.
