July 25, 20241 yr Yikes, Zambia coach isn't allowed contact with his players due to sexual misconduct allegations. Spoiler We should have tried that on gergg
July 25, 20241 yr Author 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.
July 25, 20241 yr Just now, Hagbard Celine said: what the age rules for the women? none it's the full teams.
July 25, 20241 yr Author 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?
July 25, 20241 yr 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.
July 25, 20241 yr 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
July 25, 20241 yr Author 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.

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.
July 25, 20241 yr Author This second half has been very World Cup-esque. A lot of fucking around, not much in the way of chances created.
July 25, 20241 yr Author 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.
July 28, 20241 yr Zambia clobbering Australia 3-1 in the first half. Maybe they're better than their FIFA ranking?
July 28, 20241 yr 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.
July 28, 20241 yr Yup. One of the goals was a free kick that went through the Zambian keeper’s hands.
July 28, 20241 yr 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)
July 28, 20241 yr 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.
July 28, 20241 yr 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.
July 28, 20241 yr Yeah, Naeher shouldve done much better. Very flat-footed. I wonder if she was expecting a whistle for the foul.
