Group E Netherlands vs Vietnam Meanwhile they started the game with attack and Netherlands women team lead by 4 goals. Compared to Vietnam, the Netherlands is quite a strong team. In the Group E points table, the Netherlands is on the first position with 7 points, while Vietnam is on the fourth position with 0 points. Vietnam conceded four goals in the first half at the beginning of the game, maybe more goals are possible in the end if the Dutch women continue to attack like this. And today's match, since Vietnam women are still not able to attack very well, it can be said for sure that the Netherlands will win today.
Conceding 7 goals without reply is a very painful defeat, indeed Vietnam is predicted to be the bottom team in the group, but by not being able to score a single goal in 3 matches proves that their quality is far below that of the participants in this World Cup. The Netherlands qualify very convincingly without losing and from three matches only when they drew with the USA they conceded, the rest they were able to keep their goal well.
The Portugal vs USA match has been a great battle between the two teams with neither team having managed to score a goal yet. However, in Group E, Portugal is third with 4 points and USA is second with 5 points. Points wise today's match is very important for the USA Women's team and it is very important for Portugal to win the match. But since both teams are still attacking with the goal of winning the match, they could not score any goals. Portugal is 1 point behind the USA so if the Portugal women's team can win today maybe good things will be waiting for them.
There would almost have been a surprise if a shot from a Portuguese player in the early minutes of injury time had not hit the pillar from the USA goal and it was the best chance Portugal had, USA could not score a single goal in this match which was quite surprising, maybe because they were only targeting a draw because one point was already enough to get them through from the group phase.
The two teams that qualified for the knockout stages from Group E were as predicted because indeed the Netherlands and the USA are not only the strong teams in the group but also the favorite teams in this World Cup apart from several other strong teams.
