All she does is win with a squad that is physically light years beyond 95% of their opponents.

Ellis never gets credit from anyone, including me, but she brought on Lloyd and Press and France barely even touched the ball after that. She made the right subs even if it sounds silly to bring on only attackers when defending a lead.

Yeah, Press especially killed that game right off. Nervy for a while but professionally done at the end. What a game.

The keep showing this Volkswagen ad where Morgan takes of her jersey and she's wearing an identical one underneath and it confuses me every time.

Who the hell do the French fans support in an England-US match.

I'm late to this, but they cheer for an extremely localized and shockingly sad meteor shower that somehow kills both sides and leaves the French countryside and stadium unscathed. Can't root for the meteor, because the meteor would hit France.

She brought on Horan at the right time too. I don't even hate the Lloyd and Press subs because if you don't have any faith in your defensive subs going to extra time having two fresh and badass attackers is the smart move.

The only bad thing about this is that I have to keep taking an hour or two of time off work to go properly watch the US matches.

Otherwise, holy poo poo I am so loving hyped. We're going to absolutely massacre our way to a fourth world cup star.

Italy - 4
USA - 3
Argentina - 2
France - 2
Uruguay - 2
England - 1
Japan -1
Norway - 1
Spain - 1

Goddamn, this really is a game where 22 people run around for 90 minutes and then the Germans win.

e: I'm a dummy and deleted Uruguay.

I was really confused until I realized you were combining the men's and women's titles.

Also, you forgot Uruguay's 2.

France not getting to play in the Olympics is a real gut-punch, but cool that either Netherlands or Italy is gonna get to go instead.

drat that's on 8:00 A.M. on a Saturday. I'd like to see the winner of this match in the Final rather than Germany. Sweden even.

I told you guys she's got such a high performance motor every time she gets beat- and she gets beat plenty, she's already goalside the attacker again in 3-4 steps. Diani's one of the best in the world and you think she wasn't frustrated?

Agreed, I'm way more excited about Italy/Netherlands than I am Germany/Sweden, and I wish the former was the semi from that bracket and not a quarter.

What you’re saying is that she’s a bad defender with the pace to make up for her mistakes.

Call me when she wins a tackle and manages to pass the ball to a teammate.

Are you trolling? Yes, of course you are-

I'm not saying any of that. She wins a high percentage of tackles, and makes good passes which, if you had 2 good eyes, you'd admit.....tell you what- you call #11, Kadidatou Diani instead and ask her if she had a good game.
