Meanwhile outside of football, gay ski crosser Sandra Näslund won her 19th consecutive competition. It was her 38th career win. The floorball wnt advanced to semi final. In women's swimming Euro Coleman reached the final and Hansson won a bronze medal in another discipline. Apparently it was Sweden's 3rd medal this far. And our handball wnt meet Cameroon tonight in the main round.
oh fun

I guess that means both Cameroon and Chilean players in Europe will be able to play in the Olympic qualifying playoffs.

Ok can we talk about Chile qualifying for their first Olympics?
WE ABSOLUTELY CAN! Cameroon really gave them hell and they fought for this ticket tooth and nail man. Honestly huge kudos to Chile for sticking to the plan and defending their Aggregate. I'm also excited to see Cameroon build on this, because they were really showing grit.
Nothing but good woso going into this Olympics.
CONGRATULATIONS ON QUALIFYING FOR YOUR FIRST OLYMPICS CHILE!

Argentina 
For anyone with a penchant for an underdog story, a lasting image from the World Cup was that of the Argentina squad sinking to their knees and weeping as they held 2011 champions Japan to a draw in their group-stage opener.
This was a team that in their last appearance at the tournament, in 2007, had lost 11-0 to Germany – then the worst loss in World Cup history. Now they had gained their first point.
What happened in those 12 years is a story familiar to struggling nations in the women’s game. While Argentina’s men’s side boasts a rich history, their women were inactive between 2015 and 2017, and travelled to France as unexpected qualifiers.
Vanina Correa was goalkeeper both against Germany in 2007 and last year in France, and she recalls the moment the final whistle blew against Japan with emotion. “In drawing with Japan, it wasn’t a huge moment in the world, but for us it was incredible,” Correa, 36, says. “We were motivated by all that had happened to us. We came from nothing, with little support in economic terms, in terms of international matches. We were fighting to be seen and known, demonstrating all the sacrifices we’d done over many years.”
Those sacrifices included sleeping on a coach after a friendly against Uruguay three years ago because the Argentine football association would not pay for overnight accommodation; having a request for a £6.70 daily allowance rejected; being recognised as professionals by their clubs only last year following player legal action.
Correa, who plays for San Lorenzo in Buenos Aires, says Argentina’s burgeoning feminist movement gave them “the push” to keep going.
Cameroon
“It’s just a moment to forget,” Ajara Nchout says of Cameroon’s tumultuous World Cup last-16 exit. But few who watched can forget the 3-0 England win, which was punctuated by two instances when the Cameroon players seemed on the brink of walking off the field after the video-assistant-referee system ruled against them. Public outcry followed.
Giving context to the footballing reality experienced by women in Cameroon alongside quotes from Neville, who had his views on the game and professionalism pruned from childhood at the biggest club in the world, seems only fair.
“Between the English and Cameroon game, due to lack of investment, the gulf is very wide,” says Samuel Ahmadu, who writes for Goal.com about women’s football across the continent.
Much is made of the expectation carried by players in the women’s game globally, but Wanjeri says the African nations at the World Cup carry much more, as investment “is still very dependent on how you perform”. Cameroon are proven performers, with two trips to the knockouts at consecutive World Cups and a win over Zambia later this month all they need to guarantee their second Olympics appearance. Both Ahmadu and Wanjeri say Tokyo offers the chance to rebuild their reputation.
Jamaica
"#NoPayNoPlay" the hashtag read. Not even three months on from making their historic World Cup debut, as the first Caribbean nation to do so, Jamaica's Reggae Girlz were threatening boycott.
Despite minimal support from the Jamaican Football Federation they qualified for the World Cup and the feat earned them player contracts. But the federation failed to live up to their end of the bargain: after the players' bank accounts remained empty for the third consecutive month they had had enough.
Midfielder Chinyelu Asher says the federation's previous failings, including disbanding the team back in 2011 due to funding shortfalls, meant the players had been prepared. The #NoPayNoPlay collective campaign they began on social media last September brought them worldwide media attention, and so the JFF finally coughed up. Cedella Marley - reggae legend Bob Marley's daughter - had been the team's independent financial backer since 2014, but the players refused her offer of help in order to make a statement.
Marley is blunt about the JFF's poor planning ("There's a lack of vision, everybody's just walking around blind in their Armani suits") while Asher, who plays her club football in Norway, is more sympathetic to the federation's financial situation. But she admits all the uncertainty takes its toll: "I'm not saying it's always us against the federation but [it] is stressful. We accomplished something amazing [qualifying for the World Cup], I'm sure many coaches would want to take over. But who is going to come in and not get paid?
"We'll definitely be there competing - we show up regardless. But that's all I can account for, which is unfortunate. The battle is not over."

Chioma Ubogagu with a great response to the England-Cameroon game. Great point to make that many other nations who are underfunded and lack support still conducted themselves in a sportsmanlike manner despite results.

Haiti wnt qualified for their first world cup ever. The 19 yo talent Melchie Dumornay was last year chosen by Goal as the best female teenager in the world. The midfielder is right now playing for Reims in France but will next season play for Lyon. She scored both goals when Haiti last night defeated Chile 2-1. They're in the same group as Denmark, England and China.
Portugal qualified as late as a couple of hours ago when they defeated Cameroon 2-1 in their play off- final. They're in the same group as USA, Vietnam and Netherlands.
Tonight the last world cup spot will be decided. It stands between Paraguay and Panama who'll face France, Jamaica and Brazil in the group this summer.
Portugal v the Netherlands could be a fun group game
