FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023

[Fiatless]

The Netherlands vs South Africa match is going to start soon at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, Australia. We will pick Netherlands women team as the strongest team in today's match because we know that they have very good attacking skills. South Africa women team is not that strong compared to Netherlands today South Africa won't win maybe with Netherlands women. The Netherlands women's team will certainly put up a good fight to reach the quarter-finals but South Africa may not be able to match the Netherlands even if they attack. Netherlands and South Africa are the most likely to win according to Batting Odds on various casino platforms today. Betting Odds Netherlands, @1.18 Draw @8.50 and South Africa, @12.00 South Africa might not win today's match against Netherlands. And if South Africa loses the match with Netherlands then of course they will not be able to go to this quarter final they will be eliminated.

South Africa lost the game by two goals to nothing. The game was a hard-fought one because the two teams played quality football. The two goals from the Netherlands team were a defensive blunder and a goalkeeping error. The South African defenders failed to clear their lines after a rebound which caused the first goal. The second goal by Beerensteyn was a cheap shot that the SA goalkeeper Swart would have easily stopped but she erroneously let it go into her post. Credits should be given to the Dutch goal-stopper van Domselaar for her heroic saves that denied SA many goal-scoring chances. But the SA girls will be going home as heroes for their outstanding performance in the group stage.

For USA vs Sweden, I would think that Sweden will win, even though the Americans are playing pretty well.

I just prefer the way the Swedes play compared to how the Americans do it, so my prediction is Sweden will come up on top.

Although Sweden women's players are performing well on the field, the USA women's team is the best offensively. The USA Women's team has had the most attacks in attacks so far in the current half. Although neither team was successful in attacking, in that case I can say that the team that can attack more after half time will be the winning team today. And if we want to score today, we will have to attack the hardest because the defenders of both teams are very strong and hard working players. But usa is attacking the most i think USA can win because also much ahead in attack.

The South African side tried but there were obviously no match for the Netherlands side. An early goal in the ninth minute saw the Bayana Bayana women struggling to gain control. To be honest, for South Africa to have gotten this far was by a stroke of luck and the Netherlands women just opened their defense and dealt with them. I expected by now that they would tighten the defense and limit the funny mistakes since this is a crucial point in the game, but no.
 This is the first round of sixteen they have managed to qualify for but I guess they weren't well prepared.

They are now waiting to play penalties and I would have not imagined this.USA is one of the best teams in women soccer and I am surprised at how great Sweden was in holding up against them.Now the penalties are just a lottery and any team can pass but I think it would be a huge surprise the USA elimination from the tournament.The fact that USA didn't score means that now they can suffer the unwritten law of football which is "when you don't score you will concede or if you don't you will risk it all in sudden death (penalties".The odd was great for Sweden to have a draw and I was afraid of them because I thought USA would crush them.

I'm still in shock to know that USA who are seen as the most preferred team to get into the finals are removed in the round of 16, too bad they couldn't qualify into the next stage and defend the trophy they had a really good performance and were very offensive most of the time  but Sweden really gave them a tough time and kept holding the backline making it uneasy to get the ball into the net, if you noticed the Swedish women weren't really going for a goal because they knew if they had open up it would had been an advantage for the defending champions to press hard with a counter and get a goal but they held the defence line for 90mins even up to an extra time, because they know they stood a good chance of qualifying with a penalty shootout, it suprisenly worked out for them and they're now in the quarter finals, well this is football and anything is possible,let's see if the England team would be able to qualify as well or get kicked out by the Super Falcons because the odds are in favour of them, my most preferred team to win the tournament are out so I'll currently stick with the Japanese team because they're very promising and chances of them winning the tournament is getting higher.

USA women had more corners, off-sides, and possessions, but Sweden ended up winning the match. The penalty shootout were so casual from the USA team. Even though they had chances to win the game, but unnecessarily played penalties with little spirit. They didn't make a strong effort even after Sweden missed two earlier shots. As we all know, penalties can be anyone's game. So, the reigning champions are now out, and I have to say, it's a brutal way to make an exit from Women’s World Cup 2023.

It was indeed a one-sided match in favour of the USA team having missed clear cut scoring chances during the game as the Swedish Women team defended very well Infact they only had there shot on goal in the 85th which indicates a clear USA dominance of the match, Musovic Sweden goalkeeper was very outstanding in the match having made some brilliant saves during the match and penalty shootout, she was awarded the player of the match for her brilliance, unfortunately USA the former World Cup holder lost out via the penalty shootout though Sweden final penalty kick awarded after checking the VAR.

Let go our guesses. 
You have predicted the first two matches correctly and now we only focus on your predictions. Even in the third match between Netherlands and South Africa, at half time Netherlands are leading by 1-0.

Netherlands x South Africa

Man you are genius 

Hehe, after half of the matchs of round of 16, I missed one match

So far 3 right guesses and 1 wrong one
In my defense, the USA vs Sweden match was extremely difficult, 0-0, no goals, extra time and penalties, hard to predict
I would even go so far as to say that the goalkeeper was largely responsible for Sweden's qualification


The England match is paying just 1.32 odds for a win, but the Australia match is at 1.96 odds
I think I'll just bet on Australia tomorrow

If anyone believes Nigeria will qualify, the odds are at 5.60 or 9.60 for a straight win, pretty good to risk

Frankly speaking you're in no way wrong for ascribing the swedish women victory to their goalkeeper, for she saved the day for the team right throughout the 120mins to pks.
Sweden has better team  and Zecira Musovic is the G.O.A.T and probably one of the best goal keeper in the tournament.

So much expectations were placed on the USWNT but unfortunately they couldn't deliver as a defending champion narrowly escaping the group stage but eventually knocked out at the round of 16 by a better side. Someone jokingly said, and I quote "the Swedish women team goalkeeper is far better than Onana".

Penalty shots can't be guaranteed in advance as anything can happen in penalty shots but with enough training it is possible to do well against opponents in penalty shots. This match of the round of sixteen was a do or die match for both the teams the team that wins will qualify for the next round  Super Eight and the losers will be eliminated from the tournament directly. 


Sweden and USA's penalty shots result is 5-4 their fate is decided by one goal difference. If the usa could have scored one more goal they would have qualified for the next round but unfortunately they were eliminated from the super sixteen.

Today as match was going in first half I was really surprised with the performance of the Sweden team because this was beyond my expectations as USA playing aggressively I was expecting good number of goals but nothing happen, and they have to face penalties which was surely not good because in today match luck was not near their quality and performance which eliminate them from the event in round of 16 on eight penalties which is surely sad new for the world no 1 team and their fans because before start of this event there were expectations about them to have spot into last two, but now we have top two teams out before any serious note.

The American goalkeeper, Alyssa Naeher, was clearly not convinced about the decision.



At first it wasn't too obvious, but it was clearly a goal after watching the review:



The Americans had more chances but the Swedish goalkeeper, Zecira Musovic, had a phenomenal match.



If you wonder why she has a non Swedish name and also doesn't look like the rest of the team, it's because her genes are from Serbia. She was born in Sweden from a Serbian family.

[wheelz1200]

US womens team looked uninspired out there.  Not sure if other teams have caught up in talent or that there is a lack of talent on the US side.  Either way Sweden sldeserved to win that game.  Not so sure I'd like to see the US side play Japan, they are eons better right now.

USA resisted and disqualified because of penalties which isn't that bad after all. South Africa was the first African country to leave the World Cup and I suppose African will follow North American in leaving the race tho. Australia will follow?
Spain and Japan made great victories with 5 goals and 3 goals respectively and only receiving 1 goal each.

The Swedish goalie is beautiful I must say. If there's one thing I have enjoyed in the world cup, it is having to see beautiful sports women sweat for silverware, for patriotism, for money, for passion, for glory.
I was rooting for the American side to win, but when it got to the penalties, I simply concluded on them loosing. I didn't think they where really prepared for this kind of shoot-out, or they did and where exhausted already to find the back of net.

To the S.A side, it was a hard battle and though I would have loved for them to see this stage through to the finals, they sure did represent the African continent on a major scale. First by hosting and second, by making it to this stage. Also Spain did well too, but it is one big reminder to the other teams that any team irrespective of previous glory, can fail, if the team is weaker in more than one position on the field.

I really surprised to watch performance from South African team because I was not expecting defence like this with my prediction was this match is going to end with the score of 4 - 0 or 5 - 0 but at the end have good play from South African which lowest ranked team in this event and face teams like the Netherlands which is currently in top ten teams.

In second half we have good play from the South African because after first half performance things were looking for some action packed half but all gone in balanced way for the both teams now Netherlands is going to face Spain into round of 8 which beats Switzerland in one-sided match by the score of 5 - 1.

Like men teams now African women's are also improving their quality and having good fights against top teams, but currently things are not going as they need to be, but future is surely bright for them and they can do much better in coming years.

As I said before, USA performance has been poor in the last 3 matches, only winning once against a weak team like Vietnam and drew against 2 other teams, overall USA was able to dominate the game but could not score until they were knocked out in a penalty shootout, USA  weakness is the striker imo. England and Colombia will go to the next round Australia and France will follow in the quarter finals so we have 8 teams there, unfortunately Spain and Japan will face each other in the semifinals even though I predict both teams deserve to go to the final.

My prediction is that the winner between Spain vs Japan will face Australia in the final while England still has the potential to surprise but I'm not too sure. I'm not going to bet in this tournament, they sucked me out last week I don't want to be trapped again lol.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I did the same and even bet on Alex Morgan to score but it was a bust.
Portugal's defense was quite good because of the many chances USA got on the other hand, I also like the performance of Pereira and Portugal players who dare to play the ball more than USA in this match.
The second half could have gone Portugal's way if Ana Capeta's shot hadn't hit the bar but unfortunately it ended in a scoreless tie.
With this, the Netherlands are firmly at the top of Group E as they won easily against Vietnam.

It was really a shame for Portugal to leave the World Cup, despite having played well. But, they should have played more against Holland. If Portugal had played a match like the one they played against the USA, maybe now they would still be in the competition.

But, for a team that was at the Worlds for the first time, you just have to leave with pride, and keep working to progress even further.
Congratulations "Navegantes" (Nickname of the Portuguese women's football team). 


In turn, I expected a little more from the US. Are they saving up for the rest of the competition?

Well, to tell the truth, it hurt me a lot that Portugal left, I think the way they believed was very premature. It's the first time in a World Cup, but there's no denying that they did a good job, I've seen some matches, I really like the job they did, now the Colombian team has me on the edge, they've really done it very good, I liked how they beat Germany because the Germans showed exquisite football and things were not given this time, but I think the Colombian team is doing wonderfully , I like that a Latin American team is shining in this world.

Although Sweden women's players are performing well on the field, the USA women's team is the best offensively. The USA Women's team has had the most attacks in attacks so far in the current half. Although neither team was successful in attacking, in that case I can say that the team that can attack more after half time will be the winning team today. And if we want to score today, we will have to attack the hardest because the defenders of both teams are very strong and hard working players. But usa is attacking the most i think USA can win because also much ahead in attack.

I'm not surprised about Sweden and the USA, because I've always liked how the girls from Sweden play, Sweden is also a very soccer country and the girls play very well, also the USA have good technique, they didn't lose so badly, a taking a penalty or going out for a penalty is not so embarrassing, also what surprises me here is that Colombia has been advancing a lot, the South Americans have done a great job and that is something that I like a lot, because they have already beaten Jamaica and eliminated to Brazil and that's not just anything, the Cololmbnioanas have eliminated the Germans and it's not just any thing, the German girls have a great team and that makes things in this World Cup go in a direction that nobody expected.

Everyone is surprised by the USA, but what? This is normal, this is soccer, many expected the USA to wipe out Sweden, but it was not like that, I liked this result and it is proof that this World Cup things are on another level.

United States' World Cup dynasty ends along with myth of supremacy

MELBOURNE, Aug 6 (Reuters) - The United States came to the Women's World Cup bullish about their chances of winning an unprecedented third consecutive title but their round-of-16 exit at the hands of Sweden showed their campaign was built more on hope than substance.

After back-to-back World Cup triumphs under Jill Ellis in 2015-19, Vlatko Andonovski's efforts to regenerate the four-times champions will be judged a failure in the wake of their 5-4 loss on penalties in Melbourne on Sunday.

Well, things are over for the USA, I am surprised by the large amount of news about this, they have only focused on rating, they do not praise the work of other teams, I think that the women's world championship was not just USA, things are now focused in another direction, it seems excellent to me, because here it is shown that the players who are considered very favorites and very monsters also fall, sometimes fame makes that weigh heavily on the athletes and that is why it is very surprising worldwide, all the women who had so much seniority and now are here with a total loss, it's not that the penalties are bad, it's that Sweden did their job well and did not allow or let themselves be discouraged by fame or by the ocentarios or by everything that influences on social networks, they played and that's it, they won in the right way and my congratulations to the Swedish team , and the USA will be for another opportunity.

[Queentoshi]

USA resisted and disqualified because of penalties which isn't that bad after all.

USA had many chances in the game, but they were constantly saved by the brilliance of the Swedish goalkeeper that made many important saves in the game. She is the hero of the game because without her, Sweden would have lost even from the first half. The United States have never lost in this competition at this stage, it is a first time for them, and they must be disappointed with the outcome of the game despite having extra minutes to rest the game. This exit for USA will be a warning to England that anything is possible.

[Sithara007]

Nice to see so many upsets happening in this edition of the women's world cup. No one really expected that Sweden will be able to defeat the United States. Now Sweden fill be facing Japan in the quarter-finals. And we may still get a few more upsets. There is a match between France and Morocco coming up, and Morocco is quite famous for getting upset wins. And in this tournament so far, they already have one to their name (vs Colombia). The match between England and Nigeria is also going to be very interesting.
