I groaned when she hit the crossbar, thought they had spurned yet another chance.That sequence for goal number 3 was crazy, (assuming it holds)
Brazil's keeper has cried wolf so often in this tournament, it's hard to believe it any time she goes down.Oh dang, did she just break her own goalie's ankle?
That's fair. That looked gnarly on replay, though.Brazil's keeper has cried wolf so often in this tournament, it's hard to believe it any time she goes down.
For sure. But I didn't believe it until the slo mo.That's fair. That looked gnarly on replay, though.
Saw Kristine Lilly talk with my daughter back in 2018 and she said the Brazilian team was the one that most embellished injuries in order to draw calls. Seems like things haven't changed.Brazil's keeper has cried wolf so often in this tournament, it's hard to believe it any time she goes down.
LOL. What did your daughter ask?Saw Kristine Lilly talk with my daughter back in 2018 and she said the Brazilian team was the one that most embellished injuries in order to draw calls. Seems like things haven't changed.
Just to go back to this: That drove me crazy too. What they're supposed to do is initially call advantage, but then if an advantage doesn't materialize, you call the foul and give the free kick. We'd have much rather have had the free kick from the edge of the 18 than... whatever the hell that turned into.In the last 10 minutes of regulation, the ref did one of my least favorite things - called advantage when there wasn't much of an advantage and the foul occurred near the box.
Like don't call advantage when it is 3v3 after our player gets hacked to the ground.
Woah! Congrats! Have a blast and root hard.I mentioned this in tonight’s Olympics thread, but I just upgraded my class C weightlifting final for Saturday night, to the gold medal match at Parc des Princes. My wife has some good friends at the American embassy in Germany that had an extra ticket for the game, and I lucked into it. Super-excited for it!!!
I’ll be at the game as well! Shoot me a PM if you’re interested in grabbing a drink beforehand outside the stadium.I mentioned this in tonight’s Olympics thread, but I just upgraded my class C weightlifting final for Saturday night, to the gold medal match at Parc des Princes.

Still leaps and bounds better than Deschamps.Not a bad summer for the Spanish men’s program. The Olympic roster obviously left a lot of talent at home and brought only 2 overage players, Sergio Gomez and Abel Ruiz, neither of whom is more than role player for their clubs. Compare that to France who brought Lacazette, Mateta, and Bade.
I wonder how much US Soccer is taking a serious look at Thierry Henry. I’m unimpressed despite the silver.
Looks like both are in the XI.LFG. Any chance they start Albert over Coffey? (And I love Coffey, probably the Olympian whose college games I've seen the most in person)
Should be down 2Should be down 1. Extremely fortunate that Brazil was wasteful on a great chance.
