Greetings to this wonderful community I hope that my first publication will serve as an introduction and presentation. Greetings sport lovers.
Argentina and South Africa drew 2-2 on the ninth day of the World Cup. Argentina still has not won its first victory in a women's World Cup and the same for the South African team. But this 2-2 draw leaves them both alive to achieve the qualification. The two choices in the next game all depends on what happens the important thing about this draw is that they help each other at the end of the day if Argentina had lost or if South Africa had lost either could have been eliminated in this match.
Argentina came from behind to tie a 2-0 that had adverse because the first goal was going to score 0-1 Linda Motlhalo at minute 31 a controversial goal for a possible that ends up being reviewed in the VAR and then at minute 67 Thembi Kgatlana was who was going to put the 2-0 in favor of the South African team. The changes made by coach Germán Portanova were very important for the Argentine national team because it completely changed the face of the Albicelestes. Romina Núñez and Julieta Cruz entered the team and later Yamila Rodríguez did the same. These players were the ones who allowed this team to stay alive, coming from behind to tie the game and getting the chance to stay alive and to qualify in the third game of the group stage.
With the two to zero against Argentina was eliminated from the group stage but the hope was intact because it was remembered what happened in 2019 in the World Cup in France where Argentina was losing against Scotland 3- 0 and managed to tie this score remembering that the Argentine women's national team has not yet achieved victory in the World Cup only the 3- 0 of 2019 managed to tie it. 0 of 2019 they managed to tie it And then it was about getting this feat and it was at the end of accounts something similar for its part the selection of South Africa breaks a streak that brought negative of four games with consecutive defeats does not get the victory but gets the tie let's hope that is able to do Argentina against Sweden in its next match. While the South African team will have to face Italy
Another group that is not yet defined either is the group of England defeated 1-0 to the selection of Denmark, the Danes studied very well the English who went out to look for the result with everything even Denmark had to change their tactical strategy and also their game plan had to change it after being a while studying England and little by little they were feeling a little more comfortable had arrivals to the rival goal had dangerous chances but in the end they could not materialize. They failed to reverse the adverse situation because from the 6th minute Lauren James was going to score with an incredible execution from the front of the area one of the best goals we have seen so far in this World Cup for this England 1 Denmark 0 barely 6 minutes had passed in the match when England was up on the scoreboard.
Denmark tried to reverse the situation and they were not going to succeed. Alarm bells went off in the England team because in the 38th minute Keira Walsh had to leave the field due to an injury and a bad support. The concern in England was imminent not only for the remainder of the game but also for the rest of the tournament. And those who must also be worried are the Barcelona team where Keira Walsh belongs because it is not yet known how serious the injury is, we still do not know how long she will be out if it is little or if it will be a lot because the injury of this player can be quite a lot. Let's remember that this athlete is also part of history because she has been the most expensive signing in the history of women's soccer when she went to play for Barcelona.
A group D that is not yet defined England will face China in the third match while Denmark will play against Haiti. Haiti was eliminated from the World Cup after losing 1-0 to the Chinese, and the Asians in this way get their first victory of the tournament and are still alive. In addition, they are still in with a chance of qualifying for the round of 16 with a single goal scored in the second half by Wang Shuang from the penalty kick. There were few chances in the first half of the match where the first half was rather lackluster in fact China had only one shot on goal in the first half. The most interesting thing that happened in the first half of the match was that China was down a player in the 29th minute and had to play with 10 players, but still managed to get the victory.
Haiti took advantage of this numerical superiority and started the second half and when they were playing better when they had more chances China set up a play that ended in this penalty that they ended up exchanging for a goal and that in the end was the only goal of the game 1-0. The impact for Haiti was very hard not only on the scoreboard but also mentally and emotionally because after China's goal they did not know how to recover. With this defeat they are eliminated from this World Cup, they still have to play their third game, so far they have not been able to score a single point, hopefully they will do it in their next game. They have a lot to improve this selection of Haiti that was presented to this World Cup with the youngest team in average age 22.3 years for those of Haiti while China got his victory number 17 in the history of women's World Cups surpassing Japan that has 16 and thus remains with the position of the Asian team that has achieved more wins in a World Cup.
