G’day Sheilas. I predict every prediction will be wrong. Including this one.

I'm guessing the games are on late/early morning, so probably wont get much traction here.

Sort of looking forward to it - the group stage is a joke, like some in the mens game also, just humongous gulfs in quality between sides.

Knockouts should be good though and I can’t see past the US winning it, still the best side by a distance and the most athletic

I'm predicting that England won't do that well. Lack of goals is gonna hurt them.
They'll get out of the group ok but will go out in the last 4 imho.

Lack of goals? Have they tried kicking it at a medium height towards the middle of the goal?

Australia being on the far right edge of the world means games will b on at stoopid times so nobody will b able 2 watch

Won't have skysports news on for a fortnight then. 0 interest in amateur football.

Wouldn't be interested even if the viewing times were less inconvenient.

Timing's unfortunate, taking it to Australia just when the women's game's booming in Europe.

It’s booming in Australia too. Football is far too Europe-centric atm

You can't compare. Population of Europe is 750 million; Australia's is 25 million.

Football in general might be Eurocentric, but the women's game isn't. Only one of the last 6 major international championships (World Cup and Olympics) have been won by a European side. Along with the U.S., Japan, Canada and Australia are all well-established sides.

Viewing figures will be rubbish.

England's matches are on at 1030, 0930 and 1200. How are they not watchable? Or are you saying that Wimbledon and the Ashes should all be moved to night time so that people can watch those?

Or is this just like when you said that 19 degree Qatar in December was way too hot to be playing football in and it should be in 40 degree London in July instead? I.e. you are being idiots?

The Ashes should be moved to night time so nobody has to watch it.

Cricket is a great 3rd monitor at work sport to watch. Same with tennis.

Tennis > Cricket

I'd have tennis, cricket, golf, darts, snooker, athletics, cycling ahead of Women's football in terms of what I'd watch. Maybe if I bet on it then I'll watch. Like there to he more goals than shots on target

I love the knockers stages

Think Italy r favirite 2 winnit

I’m going to England v Denmark in Sydney next week and Brazil v Jamaica in Melbourne the week after 🙌

New Zealand cause a huge upset and dominate Norway. Only a 1-0 win but should have been 3/4-0.

Australia vs Ireland now.

Anyways I’m watching, come on Ireland.
