GROUP E CAMEROON 2-1 NEW ZEELAND NCHOUT NICKS IT It was a rather uneventful game up until the 57th minute when Nchout brought the game to life by turning inside of two New Zealand defenders and keeping her cool with a smart finish. Cameroon were the better side thereafter but the game suddenly turned when Awona inadvertently converted into her own net, at which point both were staring at a heartbreaking exit. Olivia Chance screwed wide from inside the box on 87 minutes before the excellent Nchout made space in the box and slotted in with the last kick of the game deep in injury time https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48711721 MY OPINION Cameroon saved themselves in this match and did not deserve the win that put them through they were by lucky but now need to know how to ride that luck when it comes to knockout stages as for New Zeeland they have to be annoyed but with what NETHERLANDS 2-1 CANADA BEAUTIFUL BEERENTSEYN Anouk Dekker gave the Dutch the lead when...

WOMENS WORLD CUP JAPAN 0-2 ENGLAND WHITE WAZZLES That settles it! The recently arrived Carney slips a tidy pass through to White, who finishes clinically from 16 yards! Stanway makes a lovely turn mid-way inside the Japanese half and then, while sliding, slips a canny pass through to White, who latches on to it on the left-hand side side of the box and coolly slots it past the advancing goalkeeper. A splendid way to open the scoring! https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2019/jun/19/japan-v-england-womens-world-cup-2019-live?page=with:block-5d0a8fdd8f081e872734ae1e#liveblog-navigation MY OPINION After reaching the semis and loosing to them last time this is definitely a confidence going into the last 16. I think they are showing signs of improvement but should be having an easy tie in the last 16 which should suit SCOTLAND 3-3 ARGENTENA BONSECO BANGS SCOTLAND AWAY Scotland get the second half started and immediately win a throw-in deep in Argentina territor...

FIFA WOMENS WORLD CUP BRAZIL 1-0 ITALY MAGICAL MARTA  Debinha goes down after Linari barges into her after the striker races into the box. The referee points to the spot straight away and after a VAR check, the penalty stands. Marta is taking it. Can she net one and take the girls ahead? Brazil lead 1-0! Marta had to wait a long time to take the penalty after VAR checked the decision, but that didn't faze her, sending the ball into the bottom corner of the net, with Giuliani diving the wrong way https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/fifa-womens-football-world-cup-2019-live-score-italy-brazil-marta-formiga-alves-bonansea-gama-france/article28067634.ece MY OPINION Brazil have got more than they have shown in this year’s group stage and I think with the right draw they can go further but that might depend on Marta and her luck rather than anything else JAMICA 1-4 AUSTRILIA KILLER KERR The spirited Reggae Girlz went behind in the 11th minute when the Chicago Re...
