Ah... yesterday was one of those rare good days when, for someone like me, all sides win:
I am currently following the 2019 Women's Soccer World Cup, and on the same day both the Dutch and the Americans won their respective matches, both ending up being the number 1 team in their own groups.
Pretty decent and enjoyable matches too. Not quite up to par yet with men's soccer, but getting closer each year. So, congrats to my fellow Americans, and congrats to any resident Dutch soccer fans.
I wouldn't be surprised at all, if either one of these teams end up becoming the world champion. Which would be fine by me, because I appreciate both teams and countries, for obvious reasons.
@ThanosReXXX - Nice. I’ve been glancing at the scores, but I haven’t watched any matches. I know the US women are pretty formidable. Could the Dutch and Americans face off in the finals? My knowledge is woefully inept when it comes to the game itself, and also how a tournament like the World Cup is organized.
@bimmy-lee Yes they could. Would be one hell of a match. The Dutch are the European Champions right now, and have really started to come into their own over the course of the group stage, but the USA does seem to have the best team right now, at least from the matches I've seen so far, in the initial group stages. Today, there's no matches, and after that, the real matches will start. The numbers 3 and 4 of each group will play against each other for the consolation price, and the best two of each group of four will start to take each other on, until only two are left to play the final game for the cup.
As for how the tournament is organized, that's not all that complicated: all the national teams play friendly matches first, which get them a rating, and after that, they play several rounds of qualification matches over the course of a year, in which you must win a certain number of matches, in order to qualify for the group stages of the World Championship.
So, say they need to play a total of 10 matches, then they would have to win at least half of them. More would obviously be better, but as long as your remaining matches are draws and not losses, you can still enter the preliminary rounds/group stages of the Championship itself.

I skipped lunch. Customers were out of control today And didn't allow me to stop and eat. Then again i wouldve just sat in my car and played switch on lunch, so who am i kiddingn😁
No chicken for me today. Chicken is scared, nervous meat. I only eat powerful, majestic meat like grizzly bears and elk. Except for two night ago, totally had chicken thighs, but that’s the exception which proves the rule.
@ThanosReXXX - It’s quite a spectacle. I’d like to go to a World Cup game live someday. It doesn’t translate well on TV for someone like me, with only basic understanding of the game. A lot of times it just seems like people running around.
Seeing it in person is an entirely different experience though. When I can see the whole pitch and all the players, I can start to see the offense and defense, and how the whole game sort of centers around possession and just grinding to keep the ball on one half of the field, waiting for an opportunity for a good strike. A lot of that gets lost on TV, for me at least.
