It was the 10th of September, 2007, when this was the highest World Cup result ever in the history of women’s football. Germany won at the World Cup in China with 11: 0 against Argentina. For Germany, this game should continue to be special, but Argentina will be happy to have this negative record now from the cheek. Last Tuesday, the United States and Thailand played in a group match between the United States and the United States 13-0. Since it will not be easy to raise the Thai ladies for the next tasks. On Sunday, however, is already the duel against Sweden, another absolute heavyweight in women’s football.
Not a few fans, who always keep it with the underdogs, now fear the next shooting festival. However, we think that the Thai women are not as bad as the 13: 0 testifies, Of course, the team of Nuengrutai Srathonvian was hopelessly overwhelmed, but it’s also not that you always caught a bad day and the opponent everything works. Therefore, in the duel between Sweden and Thailand, we would not give any prognosis that the Thai girls could be shot down to that extent again. The prospects for the knockout round are, of course, vanishingly small after such a defeat. However, the Swedes have the best chance after their opening victory against Chile, with a second success prematurely to solve the ticket for the playoffs. This means that in the match between Sweden and Thailand the tip can only have to do with a victory for the silver medalist of the Olympic Games. The kick-off for the group match at the Women’s World Cup 2019 between Sweden and Thailand in the Allianz Riviera Arena of Nice will take place on 16.06.2019 at 14:00.
Sweden:
What have the Swedes suffered at the last World Championships? Before this tournament, Sweden took the last victory at a World Cup eight years ago. Four times in a row there was no success in a World Cup game. The silver medal at the Olympic Games has compensated for the agony, but in France, the ladies of Peter Gerhardsson now want to report back at World Championships and solve the ticket for the Olympics 2020 in Tokyo. Statistically speaking, we can expect to see some late goals in the duel between Sweden and Thailand, as in the last three games the Swedes have each scored in the last ten minutes. Therefore, it might make sense to check the odds of a match between the Europeans in the last ten to fifteen minutes in the duel between Sweden and Thailand. In addition, Sweden has won three times in succession and conceded no goal. That sounds like the next game of success is on the program in the upcoming game.
In the opening match against Chile, the Swedes were very hard for a long time. It was 0-0 until the 72nd minute before the big rain came. The game had to be interrupted for a good 40 minutes and this break took advantage of Peter Gerhardsson apparently to hire his team again. In the 83rd minute, Kosovare Asllani scored the 1-0, before Madelen Janogy scored the second leg in stoppage time. Since the Swedes have more tortured against Chile than you would have expected. Therefore, there could be some changes in the starting eleven. After her substitution, Madelen Janogy showed that she will definitely be reckoned with at this World Cup. She is a candidate who could come for the pale attackers Stina Blackstenius or Fridolina Rolfö in the team. Maybe Peter Gerhardsson uses the match against the supposedly weakest group opponent as well to give many of his ladies playing practice.
Thailand:
You have to say this very clearly before we portray the Thai women as cannon fodder. For this team, it is already a great success to be allowed to participate in a World Cup, and then for the second time in a row. While in other teams physical therapists, athletic trainers, mental trainers and a few more people in the staff take care of the players, the conditions in Thailand are much more modest. Football generally plays only a subordinate role in this country and therefore one should also leave the church a little in the village and be happy that such exotics make the life at a World Cup a little more colorful. From a sporting point of view, it was not round at last. In the last 13 games Thailand conceded twelve defeats. In general, these were not so high, however, that in the duel between Sweden and Thailand, we would once again make a forecast for a double-digit bankruptcy.
The defeat to the World Cup opener against the USA was already historic. There has never been a higher bankruptcy at a World Cup, by the way, not even with the men. At least the Thai women will take home something unforgettable. 13: 0 you do not lose every day. But again: The US had a Sahnetag and it worked almost everything. Other teams would have picked up a defeat against the World Champion that day, although probably not quite as high.
Nevertheless, one feels that coach Nuengrutai Srathonvian is proud of his team. For him it is a success to be part of the World Cup and to play against the World Champion. As a result, there is no sign of gloomy mood in the Chaba Kaew camp. The anticipation of the comparison with Sweden outweighs and maybe there is one or the other bright spot for the Thai team in this second group match. To treat them would be them.
