Have to give credit to Netherlands for improving their defensive line tremendously since 1940 though

Nice jinx.

Big lol at the American league playing during the world cup. :911: exceptionalism forever

It's actually a US-Mexico club tournament but close enough.

That's the men's league though. NWSL is also playing through this break as well, but it's mostly a mid-season tourney separate from the regular season where teams would mostly be playing backups even if it wasn't during the World Cup.

Oh duh didn't think of that, a shameful display. :smith:

Risky as gently caress, but I can kinda see why it overturned, it was basically shoulder to shoulder

But it would’ve been extremely funny if the first shot on target was a pen

Think it was a combination of that and she wasn't gonna get the ball (which shouldn't matter but it's an excuse if they're looking for one).

It would be sweet if they could give the men a lesson in actually scoring some facking goals. :v:

So we're destined for penalties, right?

Only if we can't get a winner after 120...135 minutes?

Shiiiit,, Spain was downright active at the end compared to when USA played Brazil and Marta was faking injuries every thirty seconds to the point where she called for a stretcher and then hopped off it once the game resumed. Don’t know what ya’ll are complaining about.

Yeah, like that one attack with a player breaking forward who couldn't quite get past the defender but kept sprinting forward instead of holding up, I was a bit surprised by that.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that pretty much every team sport with a game clock has some sort of time wasting strat, you don't get points for style (in fact that's exactly what we've been criticizing Spain's men's team for!)
