    Goal scorers get the headlines but the best player on the USWNT is  Girma  

  • Emma Hayes just won the gold and went undefeated with the same team that scored like 2 goals aside from drubbing Vietnam in the World Cup.  Almost the exact same starters minus Alex Morgan.   Coaching

Yikes, Zambia coach isn't allowed contact with his players due to sexual misconduct allegations.

Spoiler

We should have tried that on gergg

Damn that would've been slick, off the top of the crossbar

Crossbar then cleared off the line then a blast right at the goalkeeper within the span of about 5 seconds. Ball won't go in.

Rodman's hair is ridiculous. Taking after her dad I suppose.

2-0

Actually, as I type, 3-0. That was quick.

Unpopular opinion but I'm kinda over these long VAR reviews. Sure correct calls matter but watching a ref watching a little bitty screen is boring TV.

lol wow a red?

Does the women’s team actually care about soccer now or are they still more focused on politics? Haven’t been following.

I know you're trolling, and I chuckled, but the USWNT cares about money, and they leveraged their success and the current political landscape (some might argue spuriously) to try and maximize their money.

Just able to turn it on.  3-0, nice.   Emma hasn't had much time, but this is a nice start to a tourney.

Damn Rodman, gotta finish that.  Jeez

We kinda took our foot off the gas after the red card. Just not nearly as assertive pushing the ball forward through the midfield.

This is group stage play, we need to run it up if we can.

but they missed the most important part....  getting dirty, staying humble, and self-deprecating

instead our stupid fucking federation funded a soccer-god-weauxfing mockumentary of the team's selection portraying the phone calls like the crowning of royalty

past-prime players were allowed to control the squad decisions, which, naturally, featured themselves

they went to new zealand having already decided they were champions and they got fucking schooled trying to play title9 kick-n-rush cannonblast football

i have to think this 180 in form is a function of zambia sucking

i didn't think i would be interested in the women's campaign in france, but they now have my interest

I don’t know about that. Literally the entire country was rooting for them to lose in the last World Cup. I don’t really see the same interest right now, so I guess that hatred turned into apathy. It was not a smart direction for the team to go in at all.

This second half has been very World Cup-esque. A lot of fucking around, not much in the way of chances created.

Pretty poor result against an overmatched 10-woman Zambia, TBH. Announcers were whistling past the graveyard but the truth is that we could have and should have dropped about 8 goals on that opponent.

Zambia clobbering Australia 3-1 in the first half.

Maybe they're better than their FIFA ranking?

I will say I didn’t watch a lot of the game, but the parts I did watch, Zambia was very dedicated on their defensive efforts.  I saw 2 or 3 clearances on the line by back line defenders and a defense that was setup to give the US fits. I know we expected more than 3-0, but I thought they worked their tails off to make sure 3-0 was all we got.

And now to be beating Australia, impressive. 

Holy shit, I'm seeing Australia now up 6-5?

Yup. One of the goals was a free kick that went through the Zambian keeper’s hands.

Terrible giveaway by Horan

US ladies are cognitively impaired in front of goal. Truly astounding to misfire as often as they do. 

I support them and want them to win, but when they flub chance after chance ... part of me wants to turn dark and just make fun of them for being so mentally weak and always choking in front of goal.

(which is why I fit right in here)

Lavelle is our smartest player by far. The straw that stirs the drink, imo.

Well done from Smith there to try and keep her feet ... and well done from the ref for first allowing the play to continue to see if Smith could stay upright and then award the foul and caution the German defender.

Seems like the keeper should have at least gotten a hand on that

Dammit. Cant let Germany have the ball in our end for that long. I counted three turnovers by Horan in that run of German possession. 

Yeah, Naeher shouldve done much better.   Very flat-footed.   I wonder if she was expecting a whistle for the foul.
