Domination.

There was no other way to describe the U.S. defeating Thailand on Tuesday night to kick off their Women’s World Cup title defense. The Americans poured on the goals and defeated Thailand 13-0 – the biggest blowout in the tournament’s history.

Alex Morgan delivered five goals in the match, which was tied for the most in Women’s World Cup history with fellow American Michelle Akers who did it in 1999 against Chinese Taipei.

Looks like New Zealand broken hand.

So.
So so so.
No Christine Sinclair goal as of yet.
Halftime Canada 0-0 New Zealand

[Berlin_Freeper]

if - Sinclair scores four more goals, she will become the highest international goal scorer in the world, unseating her one-time rival, retired American footballer Abby Wambach, who holds the current record with 184 goals.

david1292 is making the opposite point that you Svartalfiar fail to do.

Of course, this match against the academy team was very informal and should not be a major cause for alarm.

There are several news stories about HS-level boys teams beating national/professional-level women's teams. Informal or not, that's still a sign of the level of play and competition and how it's just not anywhere near the same between the men's and women's teams.

[Berlin_Freeper]

There are several how about you show me one.

Then let me know how many World Cup and Olympic Gold Medals they won.

it's just not anywhere near the same between the men's and women's teams.

Men teams will beat women's teams. I been posting exactly that to ridiculous people who seem to think they are saying something new here.
