It looks more and more like paper-talk.
Checking the odds with the bookies, they have a lot of names linked to that job. but clear favourite is Frank Lampard (2/7), ahead of Viera (5/1), Allegri (4/1) and quite a few others before you get to NES (20/1). Even Mourinho's getting shorter odds (16/1), and there's about as much chance of him returning to Stamford Bridge as .... oh wait, it's Chelsea, who knows? |

The United States are currently up 7-0 against Thailand; who've had one shot all game. This is a little mean.

Wouldn't that make Uruguay default winners of every World Cup?

The USA eventually won the game 13-0...
Alex Morgan scored five... I enjoyed a shy 2-0 Swedish victory over Chile while the US were having fun. The stadium wasn't sold out, far from it. People who came to France from as far as Chile made themselves heard, there were also lots of children. Rain poured down violently early in the second half. Spectators decamped to higher dry places. I didn't move, out of sheer solidarity for the players and the stadium staff. I did open an umbrella once sure it wouldn't bother anyone behind me. The play stopped for over 30 minutes. Weathermen are great: when they said play could start again, the last drops had just hit the ground. Gonna go see Nigeria-France next monday. This one's been sold out for a while. |

they'd even scored a goal in the 10th minute that was shut down by VAR. Quote:

They are a very aggressive team, I agree. (bad joke time) Even aggressive towards their own goal. Ouch, that own goal might really hurt them... |

![]() If this ends up 1-1 it's probably a better result for Norway - South Korea are the weakest team here, so the Norwegians can get a big win and top the group. The gap is pretty big between the Europeans and the others, though. Oh shit, VAR penalty check!

2-1 France - they were the deserved winners, but there wasn't much in it. Norway were very competitive and there was a lot of flowing football; they'll do well against Korea next game and could probably give a few teams a shake in the knockouts.
How good is Le Sommer though? That was an awesomely taken penalty.it

Yeah, true. I am enjoying watching her. And also Renard. US announcers during their first game mentioned she was the tallest player in the World Cup right now. Her header during that game really showed what an advantage she might have. Either way, I am quite looking forward to watching France through this tournament. |

Looking at the fixture, Australia will probably play Norway in the Round of 16.

That's horrible! No other word for it.
West Ham's opening game is against Man C but there I don't see a block of really bad fixtures all season. |

Why was that 3rd Australia goal valid? It was so very much offside!
Nonetheless Ido hope they will win it
