Match Thread: Spain vs Switzerland | Women's European Championship

  • absat4148 hours ago

    I think there is a program which turns all your comments into something negative and nasty ;

    like, “hi, ABC team really need to work harder on closing down opposition attacking midfielders”

    into

    ” WHY the FCUk are Spain like Happy or something RRGGHH gonna hit my wife/dog cause dogshit I hate evry1!!!!”

  • absat41118 hours ago

    OK, so now I “mute” Conscious_Better

    Edit: should say “block” Conscious_Twatter but you get my point

    • paper_zoe󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿68 hours ago

      I was tempted, but I didn’t want to miss the meltdown. I think they bet on there being 4 goals and the fact that there were two goals and two missed penalties is hilarious

    • neveks88 hours ago

      How that guy isn’t banned here is insane. But at least you wont miss a single smart comment when you block the clown.

    • neveks58 hours ago

      It was for the refs walking out.

    • Zone_Amazing08 hours ago

      well. you dont applaud a shit perfomance usualy

  • schistkicker198 hours ago

    That one guy lost his bet so everybody won something at least.

    • Zone_Amazing68 hours ago

      at least the 4 over guy got shit on. deserved

      • Conscious_Scheme132👤-58 hours ago

        2 goals and 2 missed pens. Despite one team literally not having a shot ain’t bad

        • Zone_Amazing38 hours ago

          Look at the group stage.this is a good result for us.

  • sailorfish27🇩🇪18 hours ago

    Congrats Spain! 🥳

  • twwavey👤38 hours ago

    Referee positioning has been shocking the past two games lol not seen a ref knocked and pushed so much before

  • Personal_Director44188 hours ago

    Great run Switzerland, Spain have got to play better than that to beat France or Germany.

    • Conscious_Scheme132👤-58 hours ago

      Great run? They didn’t even bother to have a shot. They should give up.

    • aromatdiablo38 hours ago

      It’ll be France

  • NieThePiet108 hours ago

    yeah Swiss gave their best they could, no shame to lose vs Spain

  • bopper134198 hours ago

    Stand tall, ladies. You made us proud. Good luck to Spain. I’d like to see you all the way now.

  • ForgingIron38 hours ago

    Maritz is an honorary inductee into CONCACAF after that

  • AnotherUnfunnyName18 hours ago

    That defender was slow. She had like 10 meters advantage and was already running. But she also just caught the heel of the striker, and played the ball right after that. Kinda unlucky.

    • ShelterIllustrious38👤28 hours ago

      I think the attacker used to be a sprinter. Plus, she came on as a sub.

  • jbookies👤38 hours ago

    Spain didn’t play the 2022 final, why is the commentator mistaken

    • ForgingIron68 hours ago

      They played the 2023 world final

  • d1ckMage-4975-48 hours ago

    maybe women should play with slightly smaller and lighter balls; as it stands, i think they feel like they have to whack the ball harder on penalties, which makes them sacrifice control and accuracy, thus a buttload of missed penalties.

    • Fragrant-Ad2976👤78 hours ago

      just stop.

    • x3nics👤88 hours ago

      the amount of missed penalties in this tournament is an outlier, not the norm.

      • d1ckMage-497518 hours ago

        is there a stat for that?

        • Fragrant-Ad2976👤38 hours ago
          1. women score a statistically insignificant amount of more pks than men do

          basically they the success rate of men and women pks is the same

        • paper_zoe󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿28 hours ago

          here’s the stats for penalties taken in the men’s World Cup and the womens World Cup and Olympics since 1997. Overall scorerate is 72.79% for men and 72.99% for women

          • d1ckMage-497528 hours ago

            i stand corrected, thanks.

          • Fragrant-Ad2976👤28 hours ago

            lol we linked the same article!

        • TheGent_8858 hours ago

          Is there a stat for your claim? You’re making the counterclaim to current practice, back it up

          • bopper134128 hours ago

            Well done. This is how the world should work.

  • zeldja󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿108 hours ago

    Proper FIFA shithousing challenge that

  • TheGent_8828 hours ago

    I honestly believe that one of the main reasons Spain thrive in multiple sports like football and tennis is that they just believe they are better. Their players, or Alcaraz in the tennis example, just exude this extremely natural confidence that lots of other countries don’t seem to have, and I really think it gives them an edge

    • qwerty_1965👤18 hours ago

      Spain have tekkers. Keep the ball and you’ll draw the fouls. They also have game discipline, keep going and eventually you’ll get the breakthrough.

    • Jazzlike_Athlete879668 hours ago

      Every country of reasonable size has sports they excel in. Spain is not unique in this regard.

    • Fragrant-Ad2976👤38 hours ago

      i actually think when they get cocky, they perform worse. Confidence doesnt really look like that

    • PM_CUTE_OTTERS🇸🇪48 hours ago

      I really really wish Sweden had more of that when it comes to sport. The one swede that had insane self confidence got the strongest of them all.

  • bensu8828 hours ago

    So pathetic. Hurt yourself while fouling and whining about the red card. Wtf.

    • Zone_Amazing18 hours ago

      Not suprised about the bayern flair. the shit you guys gave donnaruma after a comletly fair challange is up there

  • Brodernist👤128 hours ago

    Just an undeniable red card. That’s the sort of challenge you make knowing you’re getting a red

  • ivo000968 hours ago

    Why did she stop play??

  • NieThePiet38 hours ago

    yeah last women, hasnt played the ball

        They had one.

  • Personal_Director44158 hours ago

    2-0 down and 3 subs in the 88th thats a bold strategy cotton lets see how it plays out

  • qwerty_1965👤38 hours ago

    Switzerland are self destructing in real time

  • Ok-Soil-5133👤58 hours ago

    0/2 on penalties, must be on tryout for the England or Sweden team

  • FlaccidSWE👤68 hours ago

    How can they be so bad at penalties? The goal keepers can’t even reach the post so you can realistically just wait a little and pass it in.

  • schistkicker168 hours ago

    That gambler dude is going to be even saltier now

  • cv-x28 hours ago

    Women‘s football has a penalty issue

    • Fragrant-Ad2976👤28 hours ago

      women and men have the same conversion rate

  • Hasssun👤28 hours ago

    1325 PKs missed

  • Conscious_Scheme132👤-48 hours ago

    Penalty of an 8 year old. Even they’d be embarrassed.

    Lmao sorry, no.

    • Conscious_Scheme132👤08 hours ago

      Lol that pen was terrible straight at her easiest height going

  • Neither_Row1898👤58 hours ago

    As a Swede I’m glad Sweden is out. Sweden - Spain final would have been pens to infinity.

    • ysustistixitxtkxkycy👤08 hours ago

      FWIW, I felt the Swedes played amazingly well. The game was a joy to watch. It’s a shame the penalties didn’t work out.

  • bensu8828 hours ago

  • Stainless71128 hours ago

    This is just becoming ridiculous, another missed penalty smh

  • IcefoxX548 hours ago

    It’s not even like it’s bad luck, all these penalties are just straight ass

  • ivo000948 hours ago

    Why does every single woman player suck at penalties ?

    • absat4118 hours ago

      Putellas arguably the best player in the world and misses the pen. There is hope for the Lionesses yet.

  • qwerty_1965👤38 hours ago

    Ah stop it. Do women actually practice penalties?

  • Personal_Director44128 hours ago

    2 last night weren’t reds so that one can’t be, this is the problem when you ref games by committee and don’t make decisions

  • schistkicker28 hours ago

    Lol. At least it was on target, but a comfortable height

  • NieThePiet18 hours ago

    really poor placed again

  • bensu8868 hours ago

    What I have learned from the SWE - ENG game and this now is, that woman are not good at penalties. For some reason.

    • paper_zoe󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿28 hours ago

      I think it’s just the quarter finals. The group stage there was only 1 miss. Then all of a sudden everyone’s missing!

  • itsliightz🇮🇹28 hours ago

  • paper_zoe󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿78 hours ago

    I would’ve put my house on Putellas scoring (and I think someone in this thread actually did)

  • sailorfish27🇩🇪88 hours ago

    The penalties just make me feel awkward now, like I should be politely averting my eyes

  • AnotherUnfunnyName58 hours ago

    Not a good tournament for penalties.

    But what a stupid fucking foul. Way late, wrong foot, why would you do that?

    And not even a yellow for a pretty clear stamp.

  • TheGent_8838 hours ago

    I’m not trying to be weird, but based on the replay those Swiss shorts seem way too see through for a women’s team? If anything they should be making them more opaque?

  • aromatdiablo18 hours ago

    Pathetic

  • paper_zoe󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿78 hours ago

    the Swiss player just had to dribble around the referee twice in the same dribble. She just keeps getting in the way!

          That player was never active. There are specific actions for an offside player to commit an offence, none were committed.
