Yes, the goal differential is important in group play in case of any tie in points based on wins, ties, losses.
Japan is rebuilding their team they aren't strong contenders this year. Covid adds some uncertainty but on paper this is a strong team for Canada this year.
My life will never be useless because I just watched Horse Dressage Competition in the Olympics..... useless are the people who have to give color commentary on that shit... how in the world is that an Olympic sport?? Look at the horse hop there....ohhh little off the beat.. that is going to cost Team USA the bronze..
He truly hates this country: “The US Women’s Soccer team is a very good example of what’s going on,” Trump said Saturday at a Turning Point Action “Rally to Protect Our Elections!” event in Phoenix, AZ. “Wokeism makes you lose, ruins your mind, and ruins you as a person. You become warped. You become demented,” Trump continued, blaming the US soccer team’s opening loss on their politics. “Earlier this week they unexpectedly lost to Sweden, three-to-nothing, and Americans were happy about it.” The crowd responded to Trump by cheering. “You proved that point before I even said it,” Trump added. Some members of the USWNT have been outspoken on social issues in recent years. And at the Tokyo Olympics, they joined several teams in opening their first match by taking a knee to protest racial injustice. The USWNT did not kneel during the national anthem. Prior to Trump’s speech, the USWNT bounced back from their stunning loss to Sweden, by beating New Zealand 6-1. The United States are scheduled to play their final Group G match on Tuesday, against Australia.
U.S. women's soccer team played Australia to a 0:0 draw earlier today. The U.S. is ranked second in Group G with 4 points and a +2 Goal Differential. The U.S. women's soccer team will play the Netherlands at 7 a.m. ET on Friday -- now that they have advanced from Group play.
They have the most talented players but they have not played together enough recently.... after 3 games I believe they are now hitting their stride and should make a good run to the Finals.
