There is some controversy regarding the VAR, video reviews. They use it to check for violations, if there is some question. It really slows the game down, though.
France vs. Brazil
I love seeing these strong women, both calling games, as well as coaching.
This was the Brazil/France game, in France.
These women are fast, and want the ball, and fight for it on the field.
Also, they wear sensors, and know how far and how fast the women run. Look at her stats: top speed 25.6 km/hour, and nearly 9 km of running.
Monday, Canada's Women's team played Sweden.
From this, you can tell where they are playing.
Some teams play 4 - 3 - 3, others, like Canada, do 4 - 4 - 2.
What is interesting is TSN's panel. It's the first all-women panel. They are wonderful! TSN is a Canadian channel.

As if soccer wasn't a slow enough sport to begin with.
I'm sure it's a fine event.
we're obviously watching it and were cheering on both Canada and England. Good to see women's sport highlighted for a change.
... and they have recently been playing in such heat too.
All the best Jan
I love soccer. I loved playing it, right up until the grandkids stopped coming to visit.
We don't watch the games, but see that the U.S. seems to be doing well so far. I know two of the players have said they won't go to the White House if they win.
