@@fernandocarvalho9085 don’t worry if they lose I got to enjoy seeing them in the last 3 finals. Some teams have yet to win a knockout game in any competition
While the USWNT may be missing many who were very important players in 2019, probably has the deepest pool of new and very promising talent for the future. I think if the corrent team has a reduced potential is because Vlatko selection, and his insistente to take Rapinoe and Lavelle even they are not 100% fit and while Rapinoe is a very experienced veteran, there are chances she can get injured in a critical moment, the same for Lavelle, at least Sauerbrunn when it was clear she was not recovered from her injury, she ruled herself out, or Vlatko may have selected her also. Another thing about the USWNT selection hard to understand, why the hell did Vlatko selected Naeher as GK, when so far this year she has been the worst GK in the NWSL, Chicago with her on goal has been the team with most goals conceded, as soon she joined the USWNT they stoped conceding goals.
How you didn't talk about Canada and Christine Sinclair is beyond me. She is the all time leader in international goals between men AND women and not even one mention 🤨
I think they are English biased, because they have more knowledge on all the English players and players that are playing or have played in the WSL. like for example they said England has the most injuries with 3 but don't realize that USA has 5 key injuries. But missing Christine Sinclair and the current Olympic Champs is crazy...
I agree. The women's kits are so good. Nearly every country has at least one great shirt. Would be great if they were more widely available for purchase. Hope the football is as great as the kits.
The USA paint drip one is the worst I’ve seen.. one of the worst jerseys I’ve ever seen, at least. They have really been sucking for all USA sports the last few years.. but the paint drip is so stupid. One of the worst in the tournament.
I'm genuinely excited for the women's World Cup. How times change. The 2021 (2022) Euros was fantastic, one of the best tournaments of all time including men's tournaments.
There are some things you missed in this video: 1.This Women's World Cup will be the 9th edition overall. The very first Women's World Cup in 1971 (where the final broke the record of attendances in Azteca between Denmark and Mexico) wasn't considered as the official one by FIFA. It's simply a prelude to the Women's World Cup, which was staged by FIFA 20 years later. 2.Denmark and Costa Rica were a honorable mentions, replacing Cameroon and Scotland, who were missing this edition after losing their World Cup playoffs. Denmark qualified for this tournament since 2007, while this was the second appearance for Costa Rica after the debut in 2015. 3.Both Philippines and Vietnam made their debuts in the senior level of the World Cup for both genders. Same thing happened for Zambia. 4.This is the first time that the Women's World Cup will feature a group where there are 2 teams from the same confederation other than UEFA. This happened because one of the team in Group F was reserved for the interconfederation playoff winner, which was between Conmebol and Concacaf teams. Panama will face fellow Concacaf team Jamaica, while the eventual losers Paraguay could still face the other Conmebol teams, Brazil. 5.The Women's World Cup still determines the UEFA teams to qualify for the next year's of the Olympics, including France for this case. If England finished at least semifinal, it's quite impossible because IOC still recognized Great Britain as the member and it might require a special agreement between 4 UK nations. 6.Group H (Germany, Morocco, South Korea, Colombia) was the unusual one, as all four teams were the runner-up of the continental championship from 4 continents (Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America).
@@lewiscalvert2577 Forgot to hear that the women's Nations League will be staged this year. I think UEFA will only limit this new competition for the men's side, but it turns out that the women's side will also be held. But as you may know, UEFA had made a big changes because of the recent qualification in Euro and World Cup, where some peoples criticized the usage of old format, which caused a big disparity between two countries. Most notably, you can see how Latvia got smacked 20-0 by the Lionesses England in World Cup preliminaries.
@@vietdang6836 People might also give a lot of attention about Zambia. Recently, this team had produced one of the biggest upset in women's game against Euro finalist Germany. They even almost won with the scoreline being 2-0, before the Germans equalised in the extended injury time. As it looked like the game was tied, the Zambians scored a winning goal on the very last seconds of the game! The Germans also struggled a lot against Vietnam, only winning 2-1. Showed that both men's and women's team were messing up. I think after this dismal friendlies, Germany will not even go further to at least semifinal. This is going to be the best World Cup ever, just like Qatar. Expect a huge surprises in this edition.

Really interesting to watch, i enjoyed but there are a good number of misinformation and some key players that weren't mentioned. Seems a bit that most of the knowledge is focus on England or current/previous WSL players.
Great question. I've seen a fair amount of her Houston games, she is versatile. She developed her game over the years to be a complete footballer. Her finishing has been noticeably improving the last 2-3 years especially aerially imo.
Same problem with Crystal Dunn she is a fantastic attacking midfielder for club but the USWNT insist to play her as a LB/LWB. I had never understood why their NT have regularly played both as LB/LWB when clearly both are much better as midfielders/forwards

Hmm. . . . Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe will almost certainly not be the major U.S. stars (ever heard of Sophia Smith?) Also, has England really suffered more injury blows than other teams? Take the U.S. Besides the mentioned Macario, they're also missing Mal Swanson (the starting left-winger), Becky Sauerbrunn, their captain (and starting centre-back), and Sam Mewis, among others.
Yeah, Morgan and Rapinoe are over the hill. It's Lavelle, Smith, Rodman, Sanchez that will be leading the US team. Missing Macario, Pugh/Swanson, Sauerbrunn will hurt for sure.

Can the Americans be proud of it? Yes . Do they have to keep telling us that they won it 4 times , over and over and over again? THAT is arrogance.
Women's football is definitely improving and here to stay, but the overhyping of the game does get tiresome. Attendances for England games and the cup final are impressive, but the average WSL attendances would shame the national league, and are inflated anyway due to the odd game staged at a big PL stadium. The constant talk of equal pay doesn't help, including the almost false reporting of the how the US women's team got their equal bonuses is just boardering on propaganda. (The US women lost the actual court case, but the US federation were basically shamed into sharing prize money).
@paulsteier8146 7 hours ago Women's football is definitely improving . Attendances for England games and the cup final are impressive. 20 successive sold out games is impressive at least. Have the England men sold out their last 20 games?
@paulsteier8146 7 hours ago Women's football is definitely improving. the average WSL attendances would shame the national league, and are inflated anyway due to the odd game staged at a big PL stadium. How can more fans go to womens games, when they cant play in PL stadiums, because the clubs wont let them ? Ever thought of that? If they are stuck in 10 to 15,000 seaters, thats the most they will get. Ive an idea. At 3pm on saturdays, the women play in the PL stadiums , and the PL clubs play in the training grounds. What would happen? Would 60,000 go to watch Chelsea women v Arsenal? Maybe. But i'll guarantee there would be riots in the streets by the male fans. Something you dont see from fans of womens football. Why are they rioting? They are only being treated the way women are currently being treated. Not so much fun now, is it?
@paulsteier8146 7 hours ago Women's football is definitely improving. The constant talk of equal pay doesn't help, well, thats the childish trolls constantly trying to insult women. That court case was sorted and its over. International teams , except the Usa, do get equal pay. No claim , that i know of, has been made by any womens team, for equal ' club ' wages.

It's almost like the TV right are influenced not only by the interest on the women game but also by the timezone. In 2002 Italy, that Italy that started as one of the favorites, had problems buying the broadcasting rights beciase the world cup was in Korea and Japan.
Tickets are so cheap. Problem is time. Women’s football is proper up by the men’s game. Look at men’s hockey and women’s hockey. That would be where women’s football would be. The USA has an easy route to the semifinals.
@QPRTokyo 11 hours ago Tickets are so cheap. I looked at ticket prices for my country's games. They start at $80 for group games and go up. Depends on your definition of cheap. Problem is time. Agreed. Great idea by Fifa to stage it as far away from Europe, where the fan base is , as possible. Look at men’s hockey and women’s hockey. No thanks. The USA has an easy route to the semi finals. Easier route than the other side of the draw. Women’s football is proper up by the men’s game. Do you mean ' propped ' up ?
4:48 I watched Barcelona all season on DAZN and they lost one league match and one Champions League match. Not unbeaten. You looked at the previous season which comes up top on Google. They won 33 lost 1 in 34 games this time in the league.
The problem is that Barcelona stats in the Spanish women's league look incredible, but in reality the Spanish women's league is dominated in a ridiculous way by Barcelona, the rest of the teams go from just a few good teams at best to crappy teams for the rest.
Would not bother watching Matildas if they are not scheduled to come to Adelaide. I understand that it is not the players fault but that will be my protest against Adelaide being ignored once again.
The only thing i found annoying about this world cup is that channels from europe didn't change the time to watch this world cup you had matches at midnight nobody can watch it why not replay the match at another hour again? Or matches in the morning it doesn't work nobody can watch it
Hegerberg is a great player, but does not have the mentality to lead the team through hard times. If we start winning she will be one of the tournaments best players, if we get a bad start she will have a bad impact on the team. Does she really care about the national team, or just herself?
@HateDizqll 10 hours ago The times are annoying, but that was up to Fifa to stage it in Oceana. Maybe the next mens WC could be staged there? no one is going to watch this. Watch it live? probably not. Watch it recorded? Probably yes. Thats just your opinion .
@@slin2678 No need to apologise. Explanation understood :) . Right , in every WC until this one, the tv companies bid for the rights to the mens WC , and the womens rights were added in to that, as a bundle , for free. Now, Fifa has decided to have the bids separate . Personally, i think Fifa have shot themselves in the foot. The fact that it is in Oceana ( Australia ) which is on the other side of the world to the main football fan base, Europe , does not help them. Time differences mean that most games will be roughly 8.30 am to 9.30 am kick offs. Everyone is at work by that time. So the games will be recorded and watched in the evening. And fans will fast forward through the adverts. Not something the tv companies want. The tv companies have said that no one will watch it because its the WWC. Wrong again. This is the closest WWC ever , and one billion watched the last one. Support for the WWC has grown a lot, and it is possible that the viewership could double. Maybe not live viewers, but recorded games. Add into the pot that the tv companies probably over bid for the mens WC, and the tv companies are skint, and trying every excuse to get the WWC on the cheap. " the TV deals and them complaining about not getting enough." It is Fifa who decide on which bids they will accept. The women have nothing to do with that. Fifa have a moral and legal duty to try and get ' at least ' a respectable amount for the tv rights. One tv company offered £1 million for the rights. Thats after paying over £100 million for Qatar rights. Some tv companies paid £160 million for Qatar. They could easily bid £150 million , and use the other £10m for the WWC. You could blame the tv companies for the greed to get the rights in Qatar, and the fear if they do not get them. Fifa just accept the highest bid . " Be profitable first " . The mens game was here first. By 100 years. Although the billions in money didnt start getting into the game in about 2000. The womens game has to try and carve out a niche in a market that has a solid base. They had no stadiums to play at, no funding, no training , no tv rights , no fans. They are starting from nothing , with nothing , against the most popular game in the world. That is not easy. So saying ' be profitable ' is way easier than the women actually ' being ' profitable, when it is so difficult. Lets try another angle. The amount of money in the mens game is huge. Billions. The womens game is still building and could take until the next WWC to be profitable. They do not need a huge amount of money to improve. A tiny amount would do. Lets say 1%. Just 1% of the amount the mens game gets each year, would be more than the womens game would need. You pay taxes. For roads , schools, the gov, the military etc. You might not ' use ' any of those. So why not use 1% from the mens game to help the sport of football build up? There is so much money , obscene amounts if we are being honest , that i'll bet they wouldnt even notice the 1% going. Hope this all helps :)
I totally appreciate FD making a Women’s World Cup video, and I also think a collage of women players at :37 would have been a better choice than the collage of men players used 😉.
If you really believe that the US will be led by the OFs, Rapinoe and Morgan, then my advice would be to bet AGAINST the US. I would also suggest that you start following the best league in the world, the NWSL. If you did, you would not make such foolish statements about the US team. I know that I'm a contrarian, but I have actually been watching the games, and neither has been a factor of late.. My prediction on England is 4th, as my guess is that they will do well in the beginning, but will fade over the last week.
I will watch but the 1st mention on TV of climate change, pride , the war in ykw or wages for females at club level being unjust and I'm off and won't be back until August when what used to be proper football begins

Also, has England really suffered more injury blows than other teams? Take the U.S. Besides the mentioned Macario, they're also missing Mal Swanson (the starting left-winger), Becky Sauerbrunn, their captain (and starting centre-back), and Sam Mewis, among others.
Exactly. They are English and WSL biased, the same ones that would call us arrogants for stating that we won 4 WWC, lol
Yeah, Morgan and Rapinoe are over the hill. It's Lavelle, Smith, Rodman, Sanchez that will be leading the US team. Missing Macario, Pugh/Swanson, Sauerbrunn will hurt for sure.
@@nedjibaudin for stating that we won 4 WWC. People from different countries state that the USWNT has won 4 WWC. I have , lots of times. It's when you keep on stating it , over and over and over and over and ........... thats when it becomes arrogant.
@@richard6440 But is a fact there were 8 WWC played and the USWNT won half of them and for the other half always finished on the podium. If you want to call Americans arrogant about sports then lets talk about Baseball and the "World Series" that is arrogance, but in what respects to women's football they are the dominating force and have every right to be proud of that.

@richard6440 But is a fact there were 8 WWC played and the USWNT won half of them. It is a fact, correct. I know this. Most fans of Womens football know this. Can the Americans be proud of it? Yes . Do they have to keep telling us that they won it 4 times , over and over and over again? THAT is arrogance.
You seem to have missed the co-hosts New Zealand in your ultimate guide to the women's world cup. Guess who just beat Norway?
And been knocked out
Women's football is definitely improving and here to stay, but the overhyping of the game does get tiresome. Attendances for England games and the cup final are impressive, but the average WSL attendances would shame the national league, and are inflated anyway due to the odd game staged at a big PL stadium. The constant talk of equal pay doesn't help, including the almost false reporting of the how the US women's team got their equal bonuses is just boardering on propaganda. (The US women lost the actual court case, but the US federation were basically shamed into sharing prize money).
The us men aren’t winning anything notable anytime soon so they dont deserve the amount they’re paid.

How can more fans go to womens games, when they cant play in PL stadiums, because the clubs wont let them ? Ever thought of that? If they are stuck in 10 to 15,000 seaters, thats the most they will get. Ive an idea. At 3pm on saturdays, the women play in the PL stadiums , and the PL clubs play in the training grounds. What would happen? Would 60,000 go to watch Chelsea women v Arsenal? Maybe. But i'll guarantee there would be riots in the streets by the male fans. Something you dont see from fans of womens football. Why are they rioting? They are only being treated the way women are currently being treated. Not so much fun now, is it?

It's almost like the TV right are influenced not only by the interest on the women game but also by the timezone.
In 2002 Italy, that Italy that started as one of the favorites, had problems buying the broadcasting rights beciase the world cup was in Korea and Japan.

Tickets are so cheap. Problem is time. Women’s football is proper up by the men’s game. Look at men’s hockey and women’s hockey. That would be where women’s football would be. The USA has an easy route to the semifinals.

Tickets are so cheap. I looked at ticket prices for my country's games. They start at $80 for group games and go up. Depends on your definition of cheap. Problem is time. Agreed. Great idea by Fifa to stage it as far away from Europe, where the fan base is , as possible. Look at men’s hockey and women’s hockey. No thanks. The USA has an easy route to the semi finals. Easier route than the other side of the draw. Women’s football is proper up by the men’s game. Do you mean ' propped ' up ?

4:48 I watched Barcelona all season on DAZN and they lost one league match and one Champions League match. Not unbeaten.
You looked at the previous season which comes up top on Google. They won 33 lost 1 in 34 games this time in the league.
The problem is that Barcelona stats in the Spanish women's league look incredible, but in reality the Spanish women's league is dominated in a ridiculous way by Barcelona, the rest of the teams go from just a few good teams at best to crappy teams for the rest.
Would not bother watching Matildas if they are not scheduled to come to Adelaide. I understand that it is not the players fault but that will be my protest against Adelaide being ignored once again.
Very interesting
The only thing i found annoying about this world cup is that channels from europe didn't change the time to watch this world cup you had matches at midnight nobody can watch it why not replay the match at another hour again? Or matches in the morning it doesn't work nobody can watch it
Any one having issues logging back into the ticketing app and if so how did you resolve it?

Hegerberg is a great player, but does not have the mentality to lead the team through hard times. If we start winning she will be one of the tournaments best players, if we get a bad start she will have a bad impact on the team. Does she really care about the national team, or just herself?

@@richard6440 apologies for not being clear. I was referring to the TV deals and them complaining about not getting enough.
@@slin2678 No need to apologise. Explanation understood :) . Right , in every WC until this one, the tv companies bid for the rights to the mens WC , and the womens
rights were added in to that, as a bundle , for free. Now, Fifa has decided to have the bids separate . Personally, i think Fifa have shot themselves in the foot. The fact that it is in Oceana ( Australia ) which is on the other side of the world to the main football fan base, Europe , does not help them. Time differences mean that most games will be roughly 8.30 am to 9.30 am kick offs. Everyone is at work by that time. So the games will be recorded and watched in the evening. And fans will fast forward through the adverts. Not something the tv companies want. The tv companies have said that no one will watch it because its the WWC. Wrong again. This is the closest WWC ever , and one billion watched the last one. Support for the WWC has grown a lot, and it is possible that the viewership could double. Maybe not live viewers, but recorded games. Add into the pot that the tv companies probably over bid for the mens WC, and the tv companies are skint, and trying every excuse to get the WWC on the cheap. " the TV deals and them complaining about not getting enough." It is Fifa who decide on which bids they will accept. The women have nothing to do with that. Fifa have a moral and legal duty to try and get ' at least ' a respectable amount for the tv rights. One tv company offered £1 million for the rights. Thats after paying over £100 million for Qatar rights. Some tv companies paid £160 million for Qatar. They could easily bid £150 million , and use the other £10m for the WWC. You could blame the tv companies for the greed to get the rights in Qatar, and the fear if they do not get them. Fifa just accept the highest bid . " Be profitable first " . The mens game was here first. By 100 years. Although the billions in money didnt start getting into the game in about 2000. The womens game has to try and carve out a niche in a market that has a solid base. They had no stadiums to play at, no funding, no training , no tv rights , no fans. They are starting from nothing , with nothing , against the most popular game in the world. That is not easy. So saying ' be profitable ' is way easier than the women actually ' being ' profitable, when it is so difficult. Lets try another angle. The amount of money in the mens game is huge. Billions. The womens game is still building and could take until the next WWC to be profitable. They do not need a huge amount of money to improve. A tiny amount would do. Lets say 1%. Just 1% of the amount the mens game gets each year, would be more than the womens game would need. You pay taxes. For roads , schools, the gov, the military etc. You might not ' use ' any of those. So why not use 1% from the mens game to help the sport of football build up? There is so much money , obscene amounts if we are being honest , that i'll bet they wouldnt even notice the 1% going. Hope this all helps :)

If you really believe that the US will be led by the OFs, Rapinoe and Morgan, then my advice would be to bet AGAINST the US. I would also suggest that you start following the best league in the world, the NWSL. If you did, you would not make such foolish statements about the US team. I know that I'm a contrarian, but I have actually been watching the games, and neither has been a factor of late.. My prediction on England is 4th, as my guess is that they will do well in the beginning, but will fade over the last week.
