END-LER OF THE LINE FOR THE THAI STIX



let's goooooooo Chilitas!!!

️  ️

OOOOOOOO, CANUCKADA!

️️

... down to $100 budget left - hoping to catch some breathing room from the Canuckdians to giggle at our fearless USWNT at -230 ... could forego the Thai Stix shutout wager and just plunk the balance on team AWESOME  

I feel like the board should bankroll this just to keep it going through the knock-out rounds.

I'm OK with the bet against the Thai-stix, but I have to say their 91st minute goal against Sweden is my favorite goal of the tournament so far.

SINCLAIR!!!!!!!

 

[General Malaise]

How the hell do trumpets make it through security? 

 

[The Kansas Comet]

SINCLAIR!!!!!!!

She's always in the right place - great run to the far post.  Great pass as well.

2 goals away from Abby Wambach's record.  Astounding accomplishment.

SINCLAIR!!!!!!!

[General Malaise]

I know we're not supposed to make any comments like the one I'm about to make, but my goodness are there some beautiful gals on this Nederlands team.

 

[General Malaise]

You too, Canada.

 

[otb_lifer]

looks like one loss, and another teetering by a #### hair

Wait until you see Sweden.  If it wasn't for Alex Morgan, I might root for the overseas team.

 

[otb_lifer]

Macaroons score in extra time to sink my battleship to Davey Jone's locker ... great for them, brutal for me. 

ferchrissakes, last ####in' minute

Oh, I've watched Sweden play.  Blondies up and down!  

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Another big lineup change, with 7 different starters from the Chile game (O’Hara, Dunn, Mewis, Lavelle, Heath, Morgan and Rapinoe starting today, in addition to Dahlkemper, Horan and Naeher, who have started all three games.)  Ertz held out due to a minor knock.

Come on our girls!

The money quote:

“There was a real relationship, a positive one,” said Dorrance with a chuckle, “until of course it was blown up by our goalkeeper in the Olympics.”

[CGRdrJoe]

Drinking at noon on a Thursday and it’s ok because I’m supporting my Country.

i salute thee, good sir!

Our forward raises her hand for a whistle, giving up on a won ball.

Reminds me of my sons coach the other night to their goalie after getting scored on. “Rob, instead of raising your hand [for offside], go for the ball!”

Is a nutmeg in women’s soccer called a vagmeg?

'taint ringing a bell 

 

[General Malaise]

Lots and lots of chances here....just not converting them.  

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Mewis' vision and long passing in the midfield has been excellent.  Nearly picked Heath at the far post there, and had a slick pass to Morgan that would have had her in on goal if her first touch had been better.

good omens, though ... Sweden gonna have to press which should open things up a tad more. 

 

[Christo]

I really like this O'Hara-Lavelle-Heath right side.

 

[General Malaise]

Heath's legs.

 

[Ned]

Lavelle

She's got the potential to be the best woman on this team.  Love her game.

 

[Moe.]

I'd like to see Pugh on for Rapinoe, so much room on the left

 

[General Malaise]

Boy, that was a close call.  Good half.  Let's get a few in the back of the net after the break.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Tobinha!

 

[Christo]

Heath!

 

[General Malaise]

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

 

[General Malaise]

VAR and its family is a ####.

 

[Moe.]

coming back

 

[General Malaise]

Ugh.

 

[Worm]

Looked like the SWE goalie almost ducked out of the way of that one instead of punching it. Weird.

 

[General Malaise]

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

No worries, Russian ref has top usa connections...

I thought it took a deflection off the defender which is why the keeper was basically flat-footed on it.
