mycatscrimes posted:It feels like refs gave been very quick to call Nigeria, Haiti, and South Africa for fouls in situations where their opponents get away uncalled. I have not seen Zambia play and can't speak for their treatment, and I obviously can't definitively say for sure it's what's happening because I'm not an expert or in the refs' shoes. It just has rough vibes. Nigeria have always played very physical whenever they qualified. But, this time they seem like the most skilled, and probably best coached (Randy Waldrum's been coaching women at a high level collegiately since the 90's) African side by far, and rightfully the only African side that should advance. Abiodun's card was justifiable, as was the one to the Chinese player, Zhang against Haiti.

joepinetree posted:I gotta say, its a lot more fun to watch these freakouts from the outside. All 4 olympic golds and 1 world cup won by the US included at least one game that went to extra time or pks. A bounce goes your way and you're dominant. A bounce goes against you and its time to burn it all to the ground. Kinda like Brazil on the men's side? It really is silly.

habeasdorkus posted:I think that's basically right, but Sweden definitely has a chance against Japan. It wasn't solely US ineptitude that sunk us. The U.S. dominated the 3rd ranked team in the world, Sweden, who played a negative game start to finnish. Their 2 best strikers, and arguably best winger still at 35, Heath, were all out injured. Maybe you should stfu about ineptitude. it's your posts, oh the ineptitude

vyelkin posted:no they played a negative game from start to swedish Norway it happens again. ozmunkeh posted:These meltdowns are almost as funny as the time the US got knocked out of the 2023 World Cup. Pretty sure it wasn't a meltdown. They've been dominant, today they lost, whiners should get over it. Funny old game, Inc. edit- is there a melting down corncob smilie?

webmeister posted:Disappointed we didn't win, but fair play - England were better and deservedly won. To be honest I thought England's first two goals were defensive lapses - nobody picked up Toone arriving late in the box, and Carpenter had a shocker not clearing that second goal. Third goal was whatever, we'd thrown people forward to chase the equaliser. They haven't bounced back from anything. Colombia and Australia wins were both via big defensive lapses. Colombia outplayed them and Aus were even up,imo. But, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Not saying England don't deserve to be there, but their wins have not been convincing to me. Spain, even missing stars are the most talented side, moreso than England, France, Sweden, America. Dell_Zincht posted:The England women's team is genuinely more fun to watch than the men's team though, that's a fact. Well, in honesty, that's not saying much, but yeah.

Thanks Ants posted:Could easily have been a lot worse than 1-0, England never really showed up Actually that was the real England that showed up. Maybe 4th best side in the tournament, but game as heck. https://i.imgur.com/isIPl93.mp4 ' This lass kept them in it scorewise. Shades of that maniac U.S. keeper we've all forgotten by now. Also props to Bronze for snubbing that poo poo Johnny Infant.
