June 25, 20196 yr Daaaaaang. I just saw your dramatic responses from yesterday. You guys really are a bunch of think skinned punks. Oh well, meant what I said. And of course I know know about it! I am a Longhorn, Mexico, and Real Madrid fan. Edited June 25, 20196 yr by JNip
June 25, 20196 yr That's gotta be a handball if you ask me. PK for Netherlands. Sucks you only got 1 of 3 Nip.

June 25, 20196 yr What did she blow her whistle for during that scrum in the box? Edited June 25, 20196 yr by WBT

June 25, 20196 yr Yeah, first foul in the box was on Holland. A Japanese player got the shit kicked out of her ankle before the Japanese player did the same to the Dutch defender. That was a mad scramble.
June 25, 20196 yr Just now, WBT said: What did she blow her whistle for during that scrum in the box? Wondering the same thing. That ball absolutely live...
June 25, 20196 yr I wish this tool would quit referring to the "Elite Eight". This ain't the NCAAs, you goober.

June 25, 20196 yr 7 UEFA teams in the quarterfinals is the story of the tournament. They had 5 in the super early years (91 and 95) but haven't had more than 4 since.

Yeah, that is big. And the anointed sleeping giant of women’s soccer - Spain - isn’t one of them. U.S. is gonna have to conquer Europe to win this bad boy. Edited June 26, 20196 yr by Jive Turkey

June 27, 20196 yr Kickoff - Eng-ger-land and Norway-land ... announcer: "...and now our watch begins." but, Engrish girls are already on top! (phrasing?) Edited June 27, 20196 yr by RamjetFDO
June 27, 20196 yr Just now, pops said: Did she miss that on purpose to let it get deeper for a better shot? Uhh no...
June 27, 20196 yr England is aggressively defending about 80% of the field. Norg finally takes advantage of the space but still fucks it up before getting a shot on goal.
June 27, 20196 yr Norway look completely lost. Engrish girls taking advantage of them without even buying dinner.
June 27, 20196 yr 5 minutes ago, Jive Turkey said: so when the U.S. beats France, our reward is this England team next Tuesday. If they give us this much space we will torch them. Norway can’t string 3 good passes together. Just need the back line to hold reasonably well.
June 27, 20196 yr Up 3-0 in the 89th minute and forwards are chasing the ball all over the 7 yard box. Why?
June 28, 20196 yr Impossible to predict how this goes. France simply hasn't been impressive in either the group stage or against Brazil relative to their reputation coming into the tournament. They should also be somewhat tired after playing 120 minutes against Brazil. The U.S. was excellent in the group stage but the competition was lacking. They were also somewhat fortunate against Spain, although the performance was better than the media reports would lead you to believe and was also hamstrung by poor coaching and a ridiculous GK error. This game could go any way. Shellacking by either team or close win by either team. I'm expecting a battle with a wounded victor walking into a SF against a relatively fresh England
June 28, 20196 yr Author This game smells to high heaven. Guessing we are pissed that Spain gave us a close game. I think France will be nervy and not aided by home pitch. Calling a US ass whipping - 4-0 a la Germany/Brazil 2014 (unless things get real, real fucky with VAR). Les Bleues can cry on my shoulder if they need to.
June 28, 20196 yr Ellis' shitty coaching choices have one positive and some negatives. While it was insanely dumb the way she used Lindsey Horan against Spain, Horan should be well rested and ready to go and having arguably the best player in the game fully rested and fit for a Quarterfinal is a big advantage. On the flip side how much will some of the older players (Rapinoe, Sauerbrunn, Heath) have in the tank for this game? Can she risk not starting Rapinoe to use her as a second half sub to keep her fresh? How much of a leash does Morgan have as she's been ineffective since playing Thailand? Jill Ellis is the big question mark. The US can out-talent most teams including France, but if this game is nip and tuck is she going to make the right decisions? It's a huge variable.

Yeah, I expect some terrible decisions from Ellis but I think we win in spite of her.
