Group E: NED-CAN-NZL-CAM

Yes. It also has effects in the rest of the draw, regarding which third-placed team plays who.

China will play Italy no matter what.

If Chile win by at least three goals, they will play England, Brazil will play Germany, and Cameroon will play France.

If Chile fail to win by at least three goals, Cameroon will play England, Nigeria will play Germany, and Brazil will play France.

It matters little for England, but Germany will wish Thailand well, and France will hope they get crushed.

Beerensteyn made that chance happen, and converted it well.

I love this player. That you can have Viedema, Martens and Van de Sanden on the field and then bring Beerensteyn off the bench - well, you're blessed. I don't even mind that she plays for Bayern.

Nchout with extreme patience and coolness in that final minute. It's the fifth and final minute of injury time, they need the goal, and she takes the time to send a defender in the wrong direction, and then curl the ball into the far corner. Very well done.

Send a defender in the wrong direction, pause, send the defender in the other wrong direction (leaving her on her arse this time), composed herself and curl the ball home. Ice in her veins.

Well, that was dramatic at the end, and poor for most of the preceding 90. NZ can't really complain, they created very little in their 3 games, and only scored from a horrific oggy. Cameroon aren't that lovable either, they've been well coached in cynicism. Anyway, NZ are out so the Scottish coach is to blame.
