OT: USA women’s soccer WORLD CUP

[OldhamA]

Also, smart money is on the Brits but I'm going to keep riding the US like yourself

Don't tell the Welsh and Scots that.

The women playing with the same goal size as the mens is such a disadvantage for the goalies.

Come on red coats.

 

[OldhamA]

One of your lasses has just gouged the eye of one of ours.

What's the point of VAR if that's not looked at (and a red card issued)?

They don't use VAR for that.

 

[OldhamA]

They don't use VAR for that.

They use it to determine a striker's toe is offside, obviously.

What a **** system.

That is its purpose on every goal.

It did its job.

Yeah, what a tight call! I mean, she WAS offside if we're putting everything under a microscope like that... but therein lies the problem, IMO.

Exactly. I know it's a new system, but that's not what it's there for. It's for the clear and obvious, not a big toe being offside.

Hopefully they refine its use or you guys are going to be right about 'soccer' being a **** game.

Ball call on penalty kick. Contact was after she missed the ball.

She caught White's striking foot as she was about to bury it.

In the old days that's a straight red.

it was the right call. she caught the back leg when white drew it back for the shot.

Lot of frustrated, petulant English players out there. Feel like I'm watching NBA basketball.

Lots of cynical, diving and time wasting Americans out there. Feel like I'm watching Italy.

Sorry for your loss.

 

[OldhamA]

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry you had to win that way. No wonder you hate your own team!

[For_The_U]

Well that friendly banter escalated quickly! Lol

England played a poor match. They had their chances. Very sloppy play at times, especially late.

The US marches on and both bets cash. Boom!

 

[HurricaneU]

Early Happy Birthday for the greatest country on Earth!

You'd be speaking German without us.
