SportsThailand scores 1st World Cup goal in 5-1 loss to Sweden
Iceland is promoting its tap water as a luxury product, for good reason
Iceland is asking tourists and visitors to "drink responsibly" in a campaign that markets the country's tap water as a premium, luxury product. Unlike other countries, 98 percent of Icelandic tap water is chemically untreated. Tap water in Iceland comes from one of the nation's biggest natural assets -- pure glacial water filtered through lava for thousands of years. Instead of drinking bottled water in Iceland, tourists are encouraged to bring their own reusable water bottle and drink what Iceland's tourism office says is one of the best tasting tap waters in the world.

NICE, France — A couple of seconds elapsed before a disbelieving Kanjana Sungngoen raised her arms in celebration.
It really happened.
Thailand had finally scored at this Women's World Cup.
By the time Sungngoen found the net against Sweden in the first minute of stoppage time, Thailand was already trailing 4-0 Sunday.
But simply scoring was a triumph after Thailand's humiliating 13-0 opening loss to the United States. Coaches embraced on the bench and Thai flags were raised in the stands on the French Riviera.
They were still beaming after the final whistle, even after Elin Rubensson scored with the final kick of the game from the penalty spot to seal a 5-1 victory for Sweden, which advanced to the round of 16 with a game to spare.

Thailand had finally scored at this Women’s World Cup . They were still beaming after the final whistle, even after Elin Rubensson scored with the final kick of the game from the penalty spot to seal a 5 - 1 victory for Sweden , which advanced to the round of 16 with a game to spare.

"Everyone was very happy that we at least scored one," Kanjana said through a translator. "The whole team is very glad."
Even if it was only a consolation goal and the team remains bottom of Group F.
"It was a difficult goal and playing a great team like Sweden, it meant so much," Thailand coach Nuengrutai Srathongvian said through a translator. "It meant that all of our preparation paid off. We had a lot of chances today. This one goal made us laugh, made us smile and makes us happy."
Forget that Thailand's 18 goals conceded equals the tournament record set by Argentina in 2007. And, Thailand still must face Chile in the group finale.
Even Sweden goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl, through the disappointment of not keeping a clean sheet, could see what scoring meant to the Thais.
Alex Morgan has 5 goals as US routs Thailand 13-0
REIMS, France — Thailand was never a real threat to the U.S. national team. Even so, the three-time Women's World Cup champions had no desire to go easy on a lesser opponent in their opening game. Goals matter in the group stage. And statements matter in soccer's biggest tournament. "Obviously we have the utmost respect for everyone we play, but it's the World Cup," said captain Megan Rapinoe. Alex Morgan tied the tournament record with five goals and the United States opened with a historic 13-0 rout of Thailand on Tuesday night.

Thailand has scored its first World Cup goal in 5 - 1 loss to Sweden after a humiliating start to the Women's World Cup . Kanjana Sungngoen got on the end of a high ball and beat Sweden goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl at her near post in the first minute of stoppage time.
"We are all human," Lindahl said, "and having had that defeat they had against the US, and now scoring their goal, you can feel some empathy for them."
It helped that her teammates had already scored four times by the time Sungngoen got on the end of a high ball on the right flank and cut in before beating Lindahl at her near post.
The first of the five Swedish scorers netted in the 6th minute in Nice, with Linda Sembrant heading past Waraporn Boonsing.
The Thai goalkeeper did manage to palm away Anna Anvegard's shot in the 19th minute but she couldn't recover the ball to prevent Kosovare Asllani scoring. Boonsing couldn't stop the 41st-minute strike from Fridolina Rolfö curling into the top corner.
Just like in the game against the United States, it was 3-0 at halftime. Unlike in Paris, Thailand didn't concede another four times in the opening 11 minutes of the second half.
In fact, it took Sweden until the 81st minute to find the net again through Lina Hurtig's header before being beaten by Thailand on the counterattack.
So when the final whistle blew, the Thai squad was able to bow to its fans. Some pride had been restored.
"Our defeat in the last game was massive," Srathongvian said. "We were disappointed, but scoring one today we made some success. We still need to develop and we need to improve and make it better. We need to get as close to other super teams. We need to play better so we can enjoy it more."

Surprising Sweden ousts Germany at the Women's World Cup.
RENNES, France — Stina Blackstenius scored the go-ahead goal just minutes into the second half and Sweden surprised Germany with a 2-1 quarterfinal victory Saturday night at the Women's World Cup. The second-ranked Germans, who won back-to-back World Cup titles in 2003 and 2007, were the presumptive favourites on their side of the bracket. Instead, they'll head home. Ninth-ranked Sweden goes on to face the Netherlands in a semifinal match on Wednesday in Lyon. The Dutch defeated Italy 2-0 earlier Saturday. The United States plays England in the other semifinal on Tuesday. The final is July 7.
