Women's World Cup 2019

[DJnVa]

Fox rules analyst says she's not sure.

 

[DJnVa]

Kidding!!!

 

[Ale Xander]

Um, that couldn't be more obvious

 

[DJnVa]

Yeah, there was no reason to let that one play out.

 

[shawnrbu]

Andressinha going to need to see a chiropractor after that fall.

 

[Ale Xander]

FREE SOCCER

 

[Ale Xander]

Andressinha going to need to see a chiropractor after that fall.

Christiane going to need to see DRS.

Looks BAD

 

[shawnrbu]

Brazil out of subs with over 25 to go. Marta will go the distance.

 

[shawnrbu]

Geyse (Jay Z) nearly spiked the keeper.

 

[shawnrbu]

Katheleen will miss the US match if Brazil advances.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Brazil out of subs with over 25 to go. Marta will go the distance.

And Cristiane isn't available should it go to penalties.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Saved on the line with the keeper beaten!

 

[DJnVa]

Wow. Cleared off the line by French defender.

 

[shawnrbu]

That was the chance for Brazil.

 

[johnmd20]

Breakaway fail.

 

[Reverend]

How did she do that without injuring herself?

 

[mauf]

Are penalties essentially a coin flip like they are in the men’s game?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

That was some really poor defending.

 

[DJnVa]

Oh damn...French goal in first minute.

 

[mauf]

There was a Brazilian defender there whose sole purpose appeared to be keeping every French attacker onside.

 

[DJnVa]

That was some really poor defending.

Yeah...you have to be goal-side there. Really bad.

 

[canderson]

Viva la France

 

[SoxFanInCali]

It was a good ball in, but how do you let France cross it on onto her foot? It's not like Henry out-jumped everyone, it got all the way to the ground right in front of the box.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Marta can still out-dribble everyone, but she isn't fast enough to get away even if she beats the defender anymore. Especially 110 minutes into a game.

 

[DJnVa]

It was a good ball in, but how do you let France cross it on onto her foot? It's not like Henry out-jumped everyone, it got all the way to the ground right in front of the box.

That ball is dangerous even if the Brazilian defender is on the other side of the player, but when all you can do is try to drag her down from behind there's no chance.

 

[Ale Xander]

Just not enough touch

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

The goal kicks vs corner calls for this tournament have been the worst I've ever seen. Can't believe there's not more player protest.

 

[Titans Bastard]

The good news for the US is that if they advance past Spain they'll be facing someone with 30 extra minutes on their legs, albeit with an extra day of rest.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Majri was fantastic. What a motor.

 

[Ale Xander]

Really hoping USA can put 13 up on them . . .

 

[Silverdude2167]

Brasil just folded after the goal. No fight left.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Really hoping USA can put 13 up on them . . .

Why ? What’s wrong with the French team that you’d like to see them humiliated?

 

[InstaFace]

I think he just wants to see some choreography.

 

[Ale Xander]

Why ? What’s wrong with the French team that you’d like to see them humiliated?

They're hosting

 

[Ale Xander]

Brasil just folded after the goal. No fight left.

Very ironic to see this in France against a French team

 

[SocrManiac]

Very ironic to see this in France against a French team

Thank god I wasn't the first one to say it.

To be fair, it wasn't against Germany.

 

[InstaFace]

This is what I've wanted to see in this tournament. France are incredibly talented, but they have a history of folding in big moments, and the pressure in a home World Cup is huge. Let's see how they react.

Wow. Cleared off the line by French defender. [in extra time]

Guess we answered that question.

 

[Ale Xander]

Wow. Cleared off the line by French defender.

Andre Maginot smiles posthumously.

 

[Ale Xander]

bump for USWNT R16

 

[DJnVa]

This timing sucks. I can't take 2 hours off at lunch.

 

[cromulence]

Morgan and Ertz are back.

 

[Ale Xander]

what a horrid clear

 

[Ale Xander]

garbage call

 

[cromulence]

Penalty!

 

[Ale Xander]

This Spain team although looks to come from the Busquets school of defense

 

[DJnVa]

Absolutely a PK.

And buried by Rapinhoe.

 

[OCST]

Looked like garbage when I first saw it. Replay showed that she stepped on her ankle. Still not sure I'd call it.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Nice start.

 

[Ale Xander]

textbook

Nice lead

 

[luckysox]

Low and left. Well done.
