Must admit I don’t watch a lot of women’s football but was impressed with the technical ability of GB players. Passing was crisp and very good movement off the ball. Very impressed with the Scottish player Little in midfield, like a female Fabregas the way she looks about when receiving the ball. Just once again the goalkeeping standard let down the game, Chile goalie was shocking.
I suspect there will be a lot medals being won by competitors who win them through the intervention of covid .. not their fault of course, but still unfortunate for those who miss out
There will always be a few medals won because the world number 1 was injured or absent for some other reason. We're likely to see more of that this time round. Let's hope the isolation protocols they're using for the games hold the line and we don't end up with events wiped out due to large numbers of positive tests.
The gold ribbon 100 meters final is still two weeks away, at this rate it will be won by an American Somoa weight-lifter who is the only person not isolating.
US women’s team getting a lot of stick for kneeling during their anthem and not before the kick off. 3 of their players stood up.
From whom? There are a lot of right-wingers in the US who hate the USWNT and make up lies about them. They'd give them stick if they came on the field in Just Say No shirts.

Pleased you saw that ! First half was good crisp passing with the midfield 3 pulling the strings: Little, Weir and Walsh. 2nd half, in control and Bronze her normal powerhouse display as a right wingback.
Casey Stoney was not only a top footballer but she is a top coach and I like her analysis on kim Little when she said she scans constantly. White has gone from running the flanks to being a central striker in last couple of years.
The Chile keeper was superb last time I watched her but she was poor today. Mega bags under her eyes, may be allergic to Japanese pine AKA Acers.

Their first match against Chile kicks off in exactly six hours in Sapporo. Kick off at 8:30am UK time.
White totally at fault there for being offside.
KO is meant to be about 11:30am English time if I remember the time difference correctly
🇬🇧
Means they'll follow Paris (2024) and Los Angeles (2028)
Has been a bit of a muted announcement.
was the Chile goalie wearing evening gloves ?
seemed to go halfway up her arms

Monty Don for CL, in Japan.
