Spain matched Japan's 5-0 thrashing of Zambia with a 5-0 thrashing of their own. Since Japan took it relatively easy on Costa Rica, Spain is atop the group by one in goal differential. Spain will win Group C with a win or a tie against Japan, whereas Japan will win the group with a win over Spain. I don't think they really care who they would get in the round of 16 (Group A might be the weakest group), but they're likely looking at either the United States or the Netherlands in the quarterfinals (the Group G winner is likely to be determined tonight). The Group C winner will avoid the Group G winner until the semis. I hate these dual hosts where you get stuck on the same side of the bracket as your groupmates

Highlights of last night's games for me were Katie McCabe's goal for Ireland (corner kick that curved in off the bar), Japan's second goal (Aoba Fujino beating the keeper near post), and Zambia's 3rd choice keeper making some great saves (in what was always going to be a lopsided game). Several more injuries for Zambia, they've had a rough run for sure.

And she didn't get herself red carded like her predecessor did.

Oh, wow. I didn't realize that McCabe's goal was a fabled Olimpico. Apparently, McCabe scored the first one in Women's World Cup history.

Apparently, McCabe scored the first one in Women's World Cup history. was it first in WWC overall, or first for Ireland in WWC competition? I believe it was the first goal of any kind for Ireland in the WWC. don't know if any "Olympico goals" have been scored by other countries in WWC history.

I believe it's both the first Olimpico in WWC history for any country and also the first Ireland goal of any kind at the WWC.

Not looking good. Netherlands are tall
USA getting push around and dominated at this point.
Dutch look confident

I don't understand the high press. Are we just gonna do a mass sub at half?
