Crush the enemy, see them fleeing before you, and hear the lamentation of the women.
People take sports too seriously.
Just wait until the trannies end up on the women’s team. The US will crush everyone. Zero complaints.
Field a better team. Celebrate team accomplishments. Each goal matters. The world needs to toughen up.
Further down the page, another article: “Women’s soccer star refuses to sing national anthem in solidarity with LGBT community and as ‘F You to Trump’”
Thailand goalie looked like the shortest person on the team.
Built to lose.
It was tacky, IMHO. Yes, goal differential could have meaning but engaging in bullying behavior is not worthy.
America the bully....again. ;)
They’re Americans - they SHOULD crush their opponents.
Remember when we heard ‘If women run the world things would be different’?
Yep, with these women we’d see re-education camps for conservatives . . .
In male sports, if a team were celebrating like that in a rout there’d be a message sent in return. In soccer you can’t do that because of the red cards and suspensions. In hockey we all know what would have happened. And in other sports there would be other ways to send the message.
Goal differential matters but that excuse is now behind them. I always tell kids in the sport I cover ‘win with class and lose with class’. I even made a decision this year not to write up big blowout games on the web site.
The Women’s team did not win with class yesterday. After about the 6th goal you low key each succeeding goal.
One could argue in the cup you have to keep scoring because group stage ties are broken by things such as goal spreads.
So you DO need to keep scoring.
But the celebrating lacked class. I can almost guarantee no mens national team would have done that (any country.) On the other hand, you might see a C Ronaldo do it. You wouldn't see Messi doing it.
It is a commentary on one's character. Others can argue whether it's a commentary on goodness or badness. But it IS a commentary on character. So it's no surprise to me that certain members of the women's team are inserting themselves into politics, whining about equal pay, and making themselves very unattractive as human beings.
I'm sure this doesn't apply to all of them, and even if they are obnoxious ... they have worked hard and earned being good.
But how they handled those goals was totally lame.
For the moment, I've lost any impetus to root for them. That probably will remain.
Hilariously, the other day I heard an NPR story about the US women's success vs the men's. The interviewer asked 'why are the US women so much better than the men? (because the women have had so much more success.) Remarkably ridiculous question.
Thailand?
The worst thing about playing Thailand in soccer is you know it will end with a Thai.
Who cares about liberal dykes on grass.
Was on the fence until I heard Abby Wambach, (who never scored goals when they were needed and loved getting goals against bad teams like Thailand) say that we would not be saying this if it was the mens team. BS
From world champions to humbling defeat against Under 15s side... World Cup-winning USA women’s team suffer 5-2 loss against Dallas academy boys (2017)
Was it Chuck Noll who stopped the Steelers from doing TD celebrations by saying one should like a TD is not special as we do it all the time.
Celebrate is how we Americans do Winning!
I’m looking forward to 11/4/2020 cause we AmeriCANS will be Celebrating Yugely:-)
This team is utterly unlikeable. It’s a good thing I don’t give a rat’s @ss about soccer, let alone the female variety.
