First Apple TV+, now even bloody FIFA+.. I have to say these streaming services are killing it in terms of delivering quality streams compared to the usual shitty streams I get from normal TV providers and even the Arsenal themselves.

Yeah it ain't loading for me, I think the internet just isn't good enough for me to be travelling and watching or smth; congrats to New Zealand on the goal tho

Well done NZ.

You could tell on her face she was gonna miss that

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Catley with the goal :)

Chasing a goal and you take off the only player who has looked a threat (granted she missed, but every other attacker wasn't even getting into those positions).

@I_am_the_grass @Astrealix To be fair, she's had a bit of a stinker, and we don't see the management teams fitness monitors. She may have been totally gassed.

Perhaps. But she didn't look like she was slowing down. And really, I stand by that fact that I rather have a player that is missing chances than the rest of her team that weren't even providing much of a threat.

@I_am_the_grass Oh I agree, but without access to the medical stats it's impossible to know.

Very end to end so far

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

That was almost an amazing counter opportunity, what a shame

also turns out I have to pay to actually watch it properly here which is so stupid for a major sporting event...

Love how the BBC ticker tells you which team is what cuz I never woulda guessed that Norway is white even though ig the black is obvious for NZ

Thanks very much for this, much appreciated

No worries; I'm not watching cuz I'm busy but there's some of our lasses involved so yea

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

by busy for this one I meant train but turns out I did manage to figure out how to watch so here I am lol; actually have something to do for the next game though.

Feels like the two teams are pretty comparable tbh, good match so far; hoping for a Maanum hattrick tho

The Norway defense looks terrible but every time they go forward they look like they're going to score. Such a weirdly lopsided team.
