Denmark advances.. playing Australia on their home turf next, in front of about 80,000 Australians.

[crazy canuck]

Yep

[Josephus]

I will take that bet.

Loser pays for drinks if we ever see each other

You're on.

Yup. I owe you a drink. Never been so happy to lose a bet

The season has started (badly).

Seems an error in Womens world Cup timing.

I notice not too much of the football fans on here talking about the WC. Which is unfortunate, and typical. There have been some really good games in this women's world cup, and the skill and tactics level has improved so much, even from the last world cup.

It being in Australia and the games being on at a crap time of day doesn't help.

I'm only a bit interested I'm afraid. I think I've watched about 20 minutes so far plus some highlights. Partly because of the time the games are on, partly because the best sport in the world (test cricket) has been taking up my sporting attention and partly because the league season over here has started.

Will watch at least the England v Columbia quarter final this weekend.

Is it the Ashes still? Hard to know when one series of it ended and the other began. Its THRILLING stuff. Who will win this year? England? Australia? Perhaps England? or Australia? We also cannot rule out Australia winning, or England pulling a surprise and winning.

It's everyone's game after last year's hotly contested England vs. Australia matches, and we expect this year drama's will setup a nailbiter next year to find out who will win it, with the pundits expecting it'll be either England or Australia.

[Richard Hakluyt]

It has been a magnificent series, love the way that England has been playing; just a terrible shame that the 4th test was drawn because of the weather

Is cricket the only international sport popular only among English speaking nations? I guess (American) football. Can't think of others.

I watched the Canadian games, and the USA Portugal game.  Plus some highlights here and there. I agree it's gotten better, but I don't know, just doesn't feel the same.  Then again, I only really watch the men's World Cup and euro now, so not a huge fan to begin with.
