25-6-19 womens world cup


WOMENS WORLD CUP
SWEDEN 1-0 CANADA
BLAKSTENIUS GENIUS
A slow-burner finally came to life in the second half, with Kosovare Asllani at the heart of it. Asllani raced downfield and played an inch-perfect pass for Blackstenius to score – with the game’s first shot on target just shy of the hour mark.
But it was also Asllani who was penalised for handball eight minutes later, before Lindahl denied Janine Beckie from the spot.
MY OPINION
A very tight game that could have want both ways and Sweden have got to learn lessons from this match or they will go in the next round they did not deserve to win this in the 90 and that is how I understand it VAR changed things again
SPAIN 1-2 USA
RAPOINE RUNS HIS LUCK
Ball played directly from defender Dahlkemper to the ever-dangerous Heath, who cuts the ball back. Mapi Leon left her leg in, tripping Heath, and Rapinoe goes to the spot.
Short runup, blistering shot, keeper guesses wrong anyway.
And the US defense flunks its first real test.
Naeher plays the ball to Sauerbrunn, who’s already under pressure from Garcia. The ball gets to Spain’s forward Hermoso, who chips it over the out-of-position Naeher.
Naeher collects a cross and boots it to the other box. Heath was within 20 yards, but that wasn’t dangerous.
Graavarg says the USA lead the world in unsportsmanlike conduct
The penalty is given after review.
The ref tells Rapinoe to move the ball back onto the spot.
Nearly saved but not quite. She went the same way as her first. Keeper guessed correctly, but it’s a low hard shot.
MY OPINION
I think that USA got away with this and must look at this game to fix whatever problems they have as they should not have conceded and won on lucky spot kicks. The team is better than this. USA looked on top form in the group phase but now look uncertain
