(With the greatest of respect to the Filipinas…)
South Korea v Japan is going to be box office
#KORvUZB #WAC2026
Oh dear, Rukhshona Usarova has just put in another reckless tackle and given away a penalty in the final minute.
#KORvUZB
Ooooooft, that’s not a good tackle youngun‘
Son Hwa-yeon is back up and running after her medical staff checked that her ankle still worked.
#KORvUZB
Wholesome moment as 21 year old Woo Seo-bin makes her international debut for South Korea.
Departing goalie Ryu Ji-soo looked so happy for her.
#KORvUZB
This could be a long night for Uzbekistan!
Son Hwa-yeon scores in the 10th minute, and the whole team looks absolutely delighted for her.
#KORvUZB
That one Uzbek dad belting out the anthem in the stands, with his kid on his shoulders, has hit me in the feels.

So this is what it feels like to have your hopes crushed.
Incredibly cruel for the captain to cop an own goal after more than 120 minutes of resolute defence.
#CHNvTPE
SHE SAVED IT!!!!
Poorly taken by Wurgimula but, still excellent save by Cheng Ssu-yu.
#CHNvTPE
Ooooh, a very soft penalty. But a pen nonetheless.
#CHNvTPE
Chants of FREE TAIWAN are really clear on the broadcast audio now.
#CHNvTPE
Stunning delivery into the box by Taiwan there.
They’re still in this!
#CHNvTPE
Ziqin Shao finally finds the back of the net for China after what feels like 100 years of football.
🇨🇳 1 - 0 🇹🇼
#CHNvTPE
China being taken to ET by TAIWAN #WAC2026
China looking understandably frustrated.
Taiwan are tired too, but look like they are having the time of their lives.
Keen to see what extra time will bring.
#CHNvTPE
Nope.
Extra time it is.
The number of audible gasps I have let out this match is sitting at about 25.
Latest one was from China hitting the crossbar.
#CHNvTPE
7 minutes left to settle this.
As a fan of low level rascally-ness… sitting out your most important match because you got 2 yellows in 4 games does seem tough.
obsessed with the Taiwanese fans chanting “TEAM TAIWAN! TEAM TAIWAN!” so loudly you can hear them on the broadcast in their match against China right now. the best possible response to the incident I reported on a few days ago 👇
Oooooh that is 10000% a handball.
Shuang asking the ref about it as politely as possible, because she can’t afford another card.
#CHNvTPE
Goalkeeper Cheng Ssu-yu has been spectacular today - but she’s just copped some heavy contact from super striker Wang Shuang.
100% unintentional, but that yellow will rule Shuang out of the next match.
Ssu-yu seems to be OK to carry on.
#CHNvTPE
Chinese defender just (accidentally) took out the ref.
Ref is back up on her feet now, stretching out a sore ankle.
#CHNvTPE
Decent attacking chance for Taiwan there.
And for China moments later!
#CHNvTPE
The simplest way I can describe the Matildas win over North Korea is that the answer was right but the working out felt very, very off.

I’m cheering for the underdogs today - but I do still love to see the A-Liga’s own Wurigumula putting the razzle dazzle on helpless defenders.
#CHNvTPE
saw someone say the best team didn't win tonight, but the way we kept our shape in defence and didn't panic was really reassuring. Also - we scored two fucking beautiful goals when it counted so we get to fkn win actually
Lots of loose and brightly coloured sketches of the starting XI mugshots, Clare Wheeler with a bleeding eyebrow, Sam Kerr’s goal celebration and end of the game hugs plus text like “AUS 2 PRK 1” and “Qualified for Brasil”
The full #AUSvPRK sketchbook spread
Photo shows Sam Kerr celebrating in front of fans after scoring a goal against North Korea - the man has a hand to his cheek and his held titled to the side, as if he has never seen anything more spectacular than Sam Kerr scoring worldies
This man is all of Australia
