Even More Obnoxious US Women's Soccer Trash Talk Thread

[Toad32]

Holly cow! 3:1 for USA. We are in the Semi-Finals!

We are in the Final =) That was a Semi-final game vs. France.

Wait, isn't it tradition for goal scorers to rip off their shirts??

 

[CarlLBC]

sure would like to have seen morgan take her shirt off after her goal. :rockin::rockin:

 

[SpanishCastleAle]

Seen that script before...team misses opportunity after opportunity after opoortunity and it ends up being the difference. Would have been nice to know how the Japanese goalie defended penalty kicks, just kick it straight in! It was a nice run but...dammit. Congrats to the Japanese team.

 

[cheezydemon3]

nobody cares about women's soccer. or any women's sports.

Or tennis played by men or women. Or lacrosse.

/thread

Are you retarded?

1/2 the US players are frigging SUPER MODELS in short shorts.

Forgetting that, it is the USA kicking butt across the world!

Forget the question, you are retarded.


and I wish frustrated goalies would rip off their shirts. (Is she Han Solo's Wife?)

Of course not, but close. Hope Solo is the lovechild of Han and Princess Leia. I mean, she *has* to be, what else would they name their daughter?

They named thier daughter Jenna

Damn I am SUCH a nerd

 

[cheezydemon3]

Seriously, WHAT A NAME!!!!!!

She was destined to get injured and still vanquish the (sadly unattractive) Japanese women!!!!!

WTF HAPPENED??????????


I feel robbed.

Sorry if this is a duplicate thread - I assume that in due course there will be a whole new forum for threads on this year's Women's World Cup Live - but I couldn't find any relevant thread (from an admittedly lazily half-arsed attempt). Have there been any threads yet about the upcoming tournament?

 

[day_trippr]

This thread is as good as any to follow the USNWT through their World Cup exploits.
They opened tonight against Vietnam and have taken a 1-0 lead.
It amazes me how many US players have been around for so many years now...

Cheers!

 

[day_trippr]

The 1-0 USWNT takes on the Netherlands tonight at 9 p.m. ET. FOX is carrying coverage in most areas of the USA...

Cheers!

 

[day_trippr]

USWNT eeked out a tie v Netherlands. Should be enough to move to the next round...

Cheers!

We're really proud to host this down here.
I was lucky enough to get to the Sweden/South Africa game on the weekend.

 

[day_trippr]

My wife was confused when she saw the coaches wearing puffy winter coats, didn't know where these games were being played

 

[day_trippr]

The harsh reality of the women's World Cup being held in NZ is the organizers are clearly not scheduling games with any sympathy for home audiences. USA vs Portugal will take the pitch at 3 AM EDT in a game that could end the USA or have them advance.

No way I'll be awake. I've set the DVR and will strive to avoid the outcome in the morning so I can enjoy the contest at my leisure.

Cheers! (fingers crossed)

 

[CKuhns]

The Ladies need to kick it up a notch. That was a bit depressing.

After watching the games against Viet Nam and the Netherlands not too surprising they couldnt score against Portugal.

 

[day_trippr]

I had the game on the DVR and it wasn't long before I was using the skip function.
They are so disjointed and frankly uninspiring I have to believe the coach just isn't up to the job...

 

[Imhoppy]

It was so awesome not watching!

 

[day_trippr]

It's not weird to post ^that^ at all.



Anyway...another one for the DVR (or youtube replay, I guess) coming up with USNWT v Sweden at 5 fricken' AM EDT Sunday, ffs...

Cheers!

 

[day_trippr]

Ugh. Sweden won v USA on penalties and the USNWT is heading home...

 

[CKuhns]

Unfortunately they did not live up to the hype. Definately had the talent but didn't have the passion.

With the rest of the womens football world "catching up" with talent the US team has to improve as well.

I hope this is a :wake up" moment for them.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Unfortunately they did not live up to the hype.

That's more of a problem with the hype than the team.

Lots of teams have "golden generations" that grow up together, grow old together, and then need replacing. That's the norm - the kind of dominance that the US has had spanning multiple generations is very rare. And let's not forget, this was the margin against the world #2 team, with Zećira Mušović playing the game of her life in goal :

There's no shame in that.

 

[Imhoppy]

They were probably more focused on coming out than playing soccer. Just saying....

 

[Northern_Brewer]

They were probably more focused on coming out than playing soccer. Just saying....

Probably...you don't know what you're talking about.

That's just an insult to their professionalism and to the Swedes, Mušović in particular.

 

[day_trippr]

The USA team had outplayed Sweden right up to the last penalty, as mentioned their goalie played out of her mind. USA had a chance to win the shootout - it was there for the taking - but skied the try, then clanged a post on their next go to set up the eventual loss. Tough way to check out of the tournament...

Cheers!

 

[Hophunter]

Loss totally on the coach. Rapinoe is a has been and played like it several games. Wrong sub made on nostalgia not merit. I don’t care for her politics but no denying at one point she was good. Just not anymore.

 

[CKuhns]

First, let me state i have the utmost respect for these women. They are a dedicated talented group and i believe still the best in their sport. (They dont always get the respect they deserve.) I love to watch them as they typically have great ball control and quick clean handlng. AND I apologize if i sounded too critical in my recent post.

I agree with the fact that the "hype" over promised. And yes a problem not of the teams making. (More mine i guess)

As mentioned above, the team has the talent. I really wanted to see them control the middle of the pitch a bit better and finish their attacks sronger.

The US was not necessarily outplayed, however they didnt perform as i would have expected this whole tournament. (Yes a bit better this last game.) I felt they just played to a level that was not up to their capability based upon their performance in a number of matches i watched in the qualification run up and was a bit disapointed. More for them than anyone else.

 

[Hophunter]

On another note, judging by the way Japan has been playing, if they keep it up neither Sweden or US would have much of a chance in the next game.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

No talk here, even though it's the final?

 

[Pkrd]

I'm watching!
Have enjoyed the last two games, exciting finishes.

Go Spain!
