Vic Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Just some housekeeping to kick things off. Wednesday, July 25th Coventry, England 17:00 local time I believe that's noon EST and 9:00am Pacific. Japan lost 0-2 earlier this week to France. Apparently winning a World Cup isn't good enough to get respect: http://goo.gl/RyPzq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navycyr Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Apparently winning a World Cup isn't good enough to get respect: http://goo.gl/RyPzq Agree with you Vic ! Shame on Japan for treating winningless U-23 men's team better, seating them in business class, while women world cup winners get seated in premium economy of the same exact flight. Clear case of women discrimination ! Men's "professional" status is no good excuse for such a lack of class towards women ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if our version of on TV is the same as theirs. The game starts, then they cut to track and field, back to the game for an update, then a 7 minute interlude on London museums, back to archery..... Are they showing the game, or showing the game.

Vic Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Japan heavy favourites for the game Wednesday at 4/7, Canada 7/2, the tie is 11/4. We are approximately the odds of France against the Americans, and slightly better than the Ferns against the home team.

Admin Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I don't have high hopes on our team, but the Marta to Sinclair odds on Golden Boot seem pretty off. I think. Actually, I dunno. I'm going to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 If it wasn't for Brazil's draw and Marta filling the nets of Cameroon and the Kiwis, I'd venture Schelin at 25-1 was good money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ref Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I just checked Sportsnet Bell TV guide and on all their channels for tomorrow at 8:30 am PT they have announced: Fifa under 19 Women World Championship. Japan vs. Canada. From Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. I think Sportsnet or Bell are a bit confused. TSN on the other hand got it right. Rise and shine tomorrow!

Vic Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 A bit more Japanese info: Australia coach Tom Sermanni, whose side lost 1-0 to Japan in the Olympic qualifiers in September, said that the game demonstrated the difference between the two sides. "Japan were outstanding today and played a fantastic match," said Sermanni. "We found it very difficult to get possession. When we did get possession, we found it very difficult to keep possession and for most of the game we were under significant pressure." Nadeshiko Japan boss Sasaki Norio said the opening game of the London Olympics will be important to give a boost not only to his side, but to all those representing Japan at the Summer Games. “Starting our Olympic campaign ahead of everyone else, we feel we also have an important role for the entire Japanese delegation. We want to have a convincing win over Canada and collect three points to give us a boost and to give a boost to everyone else.” JFA Honorary President Ogura Junji on Tuesday met the Nadeshiko Japan players a day before the start of the women’s tournament of the London Olympics, and he asked them for a favor. “I asked them for a favor – to take me to Wembley Stadium,” said Ogura. “Nobody has won the World Cup and the Olympics back-to-back. So, it would be great if they could be the first to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm gonna predict a 2-0 loss. I think we'll have trouble keeping possession against Japan (as we do against most teams), but will defend fairly well, won't give up too many chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcoatsforever Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think this is shaping up to be a one goal game, 2 - 1 for Big Red. At the moment though I'm worried our girls will start being penalized for some of these hard tackles.

Redcoatsforever Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Wow...the tone of this match changed almost the instant after I predicted a one goal match. Unbelievable. It's frustrating to see us repeatedly getting the ball forward but never getting the ball to a forward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlfan Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Two give away goals. Where was Wilkinson, having a chat on the sidelines? McLeod very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaw Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Man...I can understand the first goal (very confident finishing by Kawa) but the second....like a punch to the gut. We need to be a lot more creative on attack in the second if we have any shot at making this a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
