Women's World Cup 2019

A little late starting this, but....


13-0

USWNT! Alex Morgan gets 5, and Carli Lloyd is just a supersub. Biggest score and differential in World Cup history, men or women.

I watched it. They looked incredible! I'll have to admit, though, that I began to feel sorry for the Thai women around about the 7th goal.

 

[dara]

It could have been worse. Carli missed a few kicks, and some were just straight on to the Thai GK. Alex Morgan easily had her best WWC game ever, and frankly was a bit disappointing in the previous cups and Olympics. She scored more goals than the next team winning with the best score, France. You can't back down in the group stage because goal differential means something, and Sweden could do the same against Thailand as well.

US women face Chile today at 11:30 ET. The US women are coming off a historic win over Thailand in their last match. Chile is coming off a 2-0 loss to Sweden in their last match.

Won't Honor her Flag, I Won't watch her Play...!

 

[dara]

Sweden only scored 5 vs. Thailand, and Thailand got a goal.

 

[ilan]

It'll be interesting. About to start...

 

[ilan]

Carli Lloyd with the first goal for the US.

 

[ilan]

Lloyd's 2nd goal...US 3-0 over Chile...Lloyd 11', Ertz 26', Lloyd 35'.

 

[ilan]

And that's the final tally, US 3-0 over Chile. The US team faces Sweden on Thursday.

 

[Kimbo]

I was able to catch the end but I'm impressed by this team...still a little worried about the quality of our goalkeeper. Hope Solo would have solidify that position but too much luggage to bring her.

 

[dara]

I only saw highlights, but the Chile GK was outstanding...the USWNT might have doubled their score, if not for her.

 

[ilan]

Yeah, the Chile goal keeper prevented what could have been a major rout.

 

[dara]

Another thing, seven starters from the Thailand match did not start against Chile.

 

[Kimbo]

Germany looks very strong against South Africa 4-0, a very structure German attack inline with traditional Germany game plan.

 

[dara]

Congrats to Spain, who gets to play the winner of Group F.

 

[ilan]

Good chance that will be the US, too. The USWNT squeaked by Spain 1-0 in January, so Spain will once again present a formidable challenge.
