we host the women worlds cup in France for a month
I went to see the opening match at the Parc des Princes
france vs korea result 4-0
good match with a very warm public
but also bad vibes with no less than 3 security checks on the way:
There has been some nice coverage in the paper about this event. I am glad you got to see it live. That sounds exciting.....except for the bad vibe in the stadium. Good luck against Norway!!!
salut Dick ! I totally agree with you :
it's sport , you learn from your defeats as much as from you victories
in rugby when a team is far ahead of the opponent, they keep scoring until the end (it's called to chastise!)
on sunday USA vs Chile

Why should they play down to their opponent? Thailand learned a lot about themselves and how to prepare for their opponent.
Nah. They learned that their goalkeeper is really awful (although some of the US goals were great).
What people mostly criticized were the celebrations after the later goals. I don't think they were over the top, but a little less would have been better.
Now there is talk about whether or not USA should lose to Sweden so their path in the World Cup would be easier! A loss might keep them from having to face France later on!!!

I see France won today. It sounds like it was quite a tense game with Brazil. Good job, Les Bleues. Now we will see if USA can get by Spain to set up a USA/France match.
