Haha, just wanted to check.Hey, we all see what we want to see.
Sure, but the lengths Ellis will go to avoid playing a real LB when she has 1 on the roster is insane.She's doing better than the Heath at LB experiment at the Olympics.
I take my tea dipped in oil, thanks very much.Haha, just wanted to check.
How is that "exactly the same"? The US player didn't whack her with her arm or hand at all.
Yes. She'd been the starting CB for the last 6-7 years or so, including every game at the 2015 WWC (when she was known as Julie Johnston). She was the risk-taking member of a pairing with the more-conservative Sauerbrunn that was basically impenetrable, their work against Germany in the semis there was fucking incredible if you like defense.Is Ertz the DMF? If so, she is awesome and a rock.
I don't mind it. You wanna dance with the champ, you gotta bring confidence, attitude, and be aggressive. Those are not hallmarks of classic English temperament so good on this team for taking it to us.Also, pretty brazen of that English defender to bearhug the US player then bristle when she catches a shot to the cheek.
/me nods his headI get confused every time they mention Jill Scott and she's a lanky Englishwoman and not an early 2000s neo-soul artist.
When Ertz was Johnston her go to move was the disastrous going to ground 2 footed challenge, if women's soccer was reffed like men's she'd have set the record for most red cards. I'm kind of glad she's not in the back 4 anymore.Yes. She'd been the starting CB for the last 6-7 years or so, including every game at the 2015 WWC (when she was known as Julie Johnston).

Sauerbrunn, who is still there at CB now paired with Dahlkemper, is sometimes spoken of as the best defender in the world. So you can look pretty good playing next to her.
Thanks. She's been the straw stirring the drink for the US IMO. Both Lavelle and Horan have had miscues but Ertz is protecting the D really well.Yes.

yeah she's basically a ball-winning machine. As long as you've got another world-class CB to put back there in her place, DM is probably a good spot for her because she can be really hard after the ball without (as CD points out) risking giving up penalties. But I didn't really know her to give up that many penalties anyway at CB.Thanks. She's been the straw stirring the drink for the US IMO. Both Lavelle and Horan have had miscues but Ertz is protecting the D really well.
It's Gronkian.Have to follow on Twitter and Morgan drinking tea after her goal is one of the greatest thing I've ever witnessed in sports.
OH MY GOD ALEX MORGAN SIPPING TEA. AKA SUCK IT PIERS MORGAN
This is the best part of the winning.I'm not really following the tournament that closely, but one thing I absolutely love is how the US success irks fans from "proper football nations."
To be honest, anybody who uses the words "proper" and "football" in the same sentence should be fed into the woodchipper, Fargo-style.I'm not really following the tournament that closely, but one thing I absolutely love is how the US success irks fans from "proper football nations."
Right. We play proper soccerTo be honest, anybody who uses the words "proper" and "football" in the same sentence should be fed into the woodchipper, Fargo-style.
They still say stuff like "Americans care about womens soccer?" as a deflection to losing to the US.I'm just happy that other nations are taking women's football more seriously. 10-15 years ago when I used to travel to Europe for work a lot, I used to hear a lot of comments about how cute it was that we let our girls play.
