  1. Suarez asked for a handball on the goalkeeper inside the box hahahahaha
  2. Well if you want to be a smart ass about it sure.
  3. We "ass blasted" teams from CONMEBOL and Asia that shouldn't have been in the tournament. Spain has only recently started giving a shit about women's soccer and Real Madrid just announced they're starting a women's team so presumably it's just going to get better. TV ratings around the globe are great for the tournament. 7 million people in Italy watched their women's team play Brazil in the group stage so presumably some of the Serie A teams are going to start caring too. If Sweden hangs on here UEFA should get 7 of 8 teams in the QF (Italy and Netherlands are favored tomorrow). UEFA is trending upwards in women's soccer, particularly in the countries where men's soccer has been dominant at the club level. How much the gap has closed remains to be seen, but the gap is undeniably closing.
  4. "Ashley Lawrence completely scissors Rolfo" - Fox soccer analyst
  5. both were correctly called by letter of the law. First one was a no doubter. Second was soft, but right.
  6. It can't be said enough how bad Fox is at broadcasting this event. One analyst put the blame squarely on Sauerbrunn for the goal when it was a horrifically dumb decision by Naeher to play the ball there and for the love of god can networks stop letting Alexi Lalas talk about anything that isn't MLS or the USMNT? He's bad enough there but at least he played in MLS and for the USMNT. He's out of his depth talking about women's soccer and other men's soccer.
  7. Rapinoe was bad in the run of play today but calmly stepped up and buried two penalty kicks. That's why she's so vital to this team. Cool as a cucumber.
  8. Full time. An ugly win is still a win.
  9. Whenever there's VAR in this tournament there's seven minutes of stoppage time.
  10. Eills holds out Horan because of her yellow card and brings her in at the very end of regulation in a game that has been extremely chippy? What in the fuck is she thinking?
  11. Haha Lloyd called offside when she was onside. This World Cup's officiating has been embarrassing.
  12. Soft penalty (but letter of the law correct) awarded, Rapinoe buries it, 2-1 USA
  13. RAPINOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
  14. I mean, you've been letting Spain get away with everything and then call a penalty for that? Sure.
  15. Spain supporters are full of shit and they know it.
  16. The US is completely out of ideas. Players are standing around and not making runs. This is a shocker from Jill Ellis.
  17. There are a lot of heavy legs right now for the US. Ellis needs to make a sub.
  18. Spain is hacking the shit out of the US and as long as the ref doesn't give cards they have no impetus to stop.
  19. Lavelle is maddening. They should'v had a second goal after the ball she played to Rapinoe, but so many of her touches are just off. She's incredibly talented and incredibly inconsistent.
  20. Oh my god what a run and ball by Lavelle, but the keeper pushes Rapinoe's shot out (it was probably going wide anyway)
  21. Finding Hope Solo's replacement has been a huge issue for the US in the last four years and while technically it was Sauerbrunn who gave it away that was a really dumb decision by Naeher
  22. Well that was a very USMNT fuck up from our back line and it's tied.
  23. I have to say, it's nice the PK was so egregious we didn't get a five minute VAR review.
