Congrats Polar Bear. :toast: British Girls played the game they needed to.
Respect.
I've been givin' them some grief up in here.
Look at using them again next game vs. Columbia. We've all seen "letdown", off a big win. Many Many times. For some in some sports its an Auto-Play. Columbia over France was a HUGE WIN Mammoth. And England showed excellent form today, they might comfortably defeat a Columbia Girls team that experiences letdown.
I'll hit one of these ML plays here (eventually) lol.
don't forget with 6 groups 4 3rd place teams advance to round of 16
Yes, thanks for reminding for those who don't know. From a wagering angle this is awesome. Less meaningless games. Mostly all games will still have potential importance. Especially due to France's collapse.
It was theorized it'd take 4 points to get through, I'd think the Columbia Victory has changed that math.....Tournament-wide...maybe not but feels like it has. Certainly didn't hurt the chance that we might see team(s) get thru with fewer points than was expected before this stunning upset and humbling of France lol. Appreciate you input. :toast:
Tampa Bay tonite? or Hawks?
I'm on them over 2.5 -120, ridin' with Bourn on that.
Yeah we've lost a couple VERY VERY late powerz.
China Draw 89th minute +, about 40 seconds left in Reg Time.
When this happens I take it as a positive. I was on the right play or Side but just some freaky unpredictable shit happened super late. Which describes Life itself.
Look at these the same way your own self. Can't kick yourself when your play works for 99/100th of a contest then some freaky shit kills it.
Anyways, MEX killed that too not bringing the intensity on Defense that they did vs. Columbia.
remarkable how much these Women's teams can look so totally different from one match to the next.
This was like a totally different MEX team today, not one I'd ever have gone ML on.
I thought I was buying that team I saw vs. Columbia.
get it done :toast: even the mascots got the beard going on
At first glance I thought:
"Cleveland Indians???!!???"
He must have misunderstood the question lol.
Then I saw the beard.
...and the fact its a completely different logo just the feathers are the same lmfao
Plus I know you'd never try to put me on CLE Indians.
(least i hope that you wouldn't....even though they're leading right now at Detroit lol.)
Thanks bruh :toast:
Would equal an endorsement of the OVER at +$$$
as well (assuming my TB OVV 2.5 worked lmfao).
4-3 game?
Wow....that'd be cool.
Entirely possible w/ Bolts Goalie situation....
I still don't know if Bishop is playing or not.
...and even if he is, of course.
can't have just suddenly miraculously gotten over whatever ailed him.
Really tough game to call. For me at least.
same logo just looks different with the beard and no color
"what a drag it is getting old"
or I might have been thinking about this:
Definite split on the forum here as to who is gonna win this game. Sometimes theres a consensus.
<center>mamma told me it'd be there'd be days like this.</center>
Found out what we needed to about South Korea. They simply don't have the Defense to be here past their next matchup.
Unfortunately for them (but very fortunately for bettors) that next matchup is against a desperate 1 point in Group E having Spain team needing a squad to Tee Off on and flatten by as many goals as possible if Spain Women have any hope of advancing.
If Spain does handle South Korea they have a chance of advancing with 4 points, if not within Group E itself then as one of the four 3rd place teams that will be let through. If they do not handle South Korea they are outta here.
In the 2014 Men's World Cup the Costa Rican Mens squad got a LOT of positive attention for finishing 1st in their Group that consisted of three former World Cup champions: Uruguay, Italy, and England.
They then went on to defeat Greece 5-3 via a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. Reaching the quarterfinals for the first time in their history they were defeated by a very capable Netherlands squad only after a penalty shootout (3-4) following a tough fought scoreless draw by which time the eyes of the world were upon them and everyone on the planet who is not Dutch and/or in The Netherland or had wagers on The Dutch were rooting for them.
The unity, teamwork and DESIRE, refusal to give up, to play as hard as possible to the final whistle and never entertain a thought of being out of a game suggests this Costa Rican Women's team might similarly endear themselves to the world and progress much more deeply into this tournament then expected.
Fortunately for them (and very fortunately for bettors) The Ticas next face a Brazilian Women's team to whom the game will mean absolutely nothing. Brazil has advanced.
Brazil will be resting players, we will likely see little or nothing of their star Marta and very little of other key Brazil Women. A squad can simply not risk injury in a completely meaningless game.
With a Win against Brazil The Ticas would amass 5 points within the Group and their passage through to the next round would be assured.
South American Brazil's Central American neighbors Costa Rica advancing, rather than a Spanish Womens team that gave Brazil a hard match from which they prevailed by only one goal (or other teams on the bubble that are ranked higher than Costa Rica) might be a better outcome for Brazil so we might see The Ticas have a very very good day when they face Brazil on Wednesday June 17.
Whatever the case, this is a very bright day for Costa Rican Soccer. The success of the Men's squad last World Cup and the success thus far of this Costa Rican Womens team here suggests a very future for Costa Rican Soccer.

Yes. She is magnificent.
When The Ticas are up 2-0 or 3-0 against Brazil in the meaningless game for Brazil thats coming we will get to see her play.
She might be the youngest player ever to play in a Women's World Cup or maybe any World Cup!!!
I don't know but I hope Coach Amelia gives her, and the World, this.
I believe that she will if she can. I know she understands how special this would be for Gloriana, how encouraging and beneficial it would be for growth on Gloriana's part (like water to a Pineapple Tree) and how much the world would love to see her subbed in.
I know that Coach understands these things. Congrats to your Nation. :toast:
If all goes as it should vs. Brazil you have a very dangerous team because of their cohesiveness and ability to execute.
If all goes at it should against Brazil your Ticas could Shock The World.
Final days of Group matchups. Monday Tuesday Wednesday.

Today Prediction dot com pops a great writeup on featured matchups, the more meaningful games. Don't be put off by the use of the word "Astrology" on this website, analysis of matchups has nothing to do with whether the Moon is waning or waxing and whether its in Libra, Gemini or Pisces. : WOMENS WORLD CUP 2015 Predictions
ibtimes had a brilliant writeup on USA Womens game & team in general. Seems like they focus on USA team/matches but keep an eye on them for any more cuz their analysis thus far has been very information packed and they may expand their analysis to beyond just the USA squad as this Tourney progresses. Worth checking cuz when they do a writeup the depth of analysis is quite good: http://www.ibtimes.com/sports/soccer
