With enforcement of the goal line rule, you can't save that.That was an A+ penalty kick. Perfection.
Lifetime (gametime) achievement penalty is how I'm choosing to accept itit's not 100% clear to me that she actually made contact, but given the angles it's hard to be sure. She was charging forward into Lavelle and if she made contact, she didn't knock the leg out of its path at all.
I think she probably did, but yikes that's a harsh way to concede there, ifMorganPinoe buries it.
Fuck that. You don't get to take spikes up into someone's leg in the box, even if the ball is heading out of the box. Again, we don't need freaking carnage.I think that’s terribly soft penalty, don’t like seeing them go up on that. Was hoping Rapinoe missed that so they could win this on a legit goal.
Her first cap was in Oct 2006 in a friendly, first game in a competitive situation was the 2009 Algarve Cup. Graduated college (U Portland) in 2008.I can't believe Rapinoe is still on this team and starting. Was she on the '99 winning squad?!?
Lloyd missed last game and I believe in the Olympics in '16 during the shootout loss to Sweden. No one is automatic on such a mind fuck of a play.Glad she took control and took that one. Based on what I've seen in the past, anyone but Lloyd or Rapinoe on penalties makes me nervous.
It's pink again today.Her first cap was in Oct 2006 in a friendly, first game in a competitive situation was the 2009 Algarve Cup. Graduated college (U Portland) in 2008.
It's the white hair that makes you think that, though.
I think the ball hit the back of the net and the keeper, despite guessing right, still hadn't fallen into a position where she could've saved the shot.Keeper guessed right, but that was a great shot.
I'll take 'em however I can get them, but I hope we net two more in the run of play.I think that’s terribly soft penalty, don’t like seeing them go up on that. Was hoping Rapinoe missed that so they could win this on a legit goal.
And that's why the PK call doesn't bother me. I'm like one hard foul on Alex Morgan away from storming the Spanish embassy.Fucking elbow

The attacker has a right to go for the ball, doesn't she?I'll take 'em however I can get them, but I hope we net two more in the run of play.
Also, that collision on Naeher when she had a clear path to (and right to) the ball should be a yellow. I mean, for christ's sake, ref.
Sure, in the parts that she's dyed, but she's been basically albino her whole career. She looks a bit older, and has old-players' skills in terms of dribbling and precision. I get it, as far as people assuming she's at the end of her career when she's really in the middle. Plus she hit that cross in 2011 for Wambach at the 122nd minute vs Brazil, so the anchor point in how we all think about her is now almost exactly 8 years old.It's pink again today.
Attacker has zero right to hit the GKThe attacker has a right to go for the ball, doesn't she?
Maybe that's your anchor point. it's not mine. And albino? Really? She dyes her hair blond for the most part. Like, say, the third of the Swedish team that isn't naturally blond.Sure, in the parts that she's dyed, but she's been basically albino her whole career.
