World Cup: 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup - II

I'm really not impressed with Morgan's sportsmanship in this one, especially since going up 2-1. I don't recall her acting like this in years past. I suppose becoming co-captain has encouraged her to lead by bad example.

I think the team has convinced themselves they are the victims and underdogs, and this is them "rebelling", it's definitely a weird thing going on with them.

For me its that short haired girl who does the scissor kick

Celebrates too hard for you?

It's obviously nothing like the scale of a men's tournament, but watching the English women's team lose is surprisingly satisfying.

Just want to clarify that it was a good save by all standards except the one earlier in the tournament. I think you should be allowed to move whenever you want in net and close down the angle a little bit.

She takes a step forward before the penalty taker reaches the ball.

She's allowed to step off the line with one foot as long as the other remains in some contact with it

I think you're looking a little too much into it.

Yes but one foot is still on the line, which is good if I recall correctly.

USA deserved the win. England did themselves in.

This team must be driving PNeville crazy.

He's been complicit in their downfall. The starting lineup didn't work out. And if he urged them to try and play a high tempo early on, he erred there, too.

It's just the sense I got after the backlash they received on their celebrations. I knew they wouldn't tone it down after that.

I think it's fine, they just need to own being the big bad, cocky Americans.

Thanks! Didn’t know that, then it was just a perfect save.

 

[hatterson]

I was hoping it would count for dramatic reasons, but England going out because they absolutely botched a penalty will *always* be hilarious.

Nah nah nah... nah nah nah....

USA just keeps on winning! So much winning, I'm almost sick of it!

Hell of a game by England though... great match.

I see the same salty people were in here complaining all game again.

Sunday is going to be crazy!!!

Christen Press misses a penalty against Sweden in the Olympics 3 years ago and comes in for an injured Rapinoe today and comes in clutch. So proud of my hometown girl.

What nay-sayers?

NUMNUMNUM who's next?

USA USA USA

 

[bleedblue1223]

Right, the US have always been the favorites.

Lol

Am I the only one who finds Hope Solo's voice irritating? It's on a par with Chris Sutton.

Actually, no, Sutton is far worse.

Never in the history of soccer has the English actually scored on a penalty kick. This is sarcasm. It should not be taken litterally.

 

[Stray Wasp]

USA deserved the win. England did themselves in.

I think nerves unsettled both teams in the second half - and maybe fatigue too. But clearly the best team won. It's the first time I've seen the United States, and while here they weren't strikingly fluent in their attacks their pace and power was streets ahead of England.
