When you are winning by that much you put in your backup players with instructions to take as much time off the clock as possible...

In soccer you are limited to 3 substitutions for the entire game. You need to save at least one in case of injury. Granted the 11 they did have out there didn't need to put the pedal to the metal.

"You need to save at least one in case of injury."

That's not what the article says above. They listed the 3 substitutions she made, all of them with the intention of running up the score more. No injury reserve sub set-asides that I can see.

And I have to ask the other FR apologists for the US Social Justice Warriorettes Team: Are the ecstatic celebrations after the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th & 13th goals also vitally important in determining the "Bracketing"? Does FIFA record the decibels & duration of each rub-it-in-the-Thai's-face, twist-the-knife celebration, to use for Thai-breakers?
