Here comes the banshee

 

[Ghost Rider]

Ball game.

I wasn’t referring to you.

You talking about my question?

#### trump He’s a moron and you’re not much better if that’s the first place your head went. 

Thanks to those who offered actual insight. This match ends 3-0 if not 4-0 IMO. The Dutch are done.

 

[gianmarco]

Dos a cero in preparation for tonight.

Just don't tell Megan.

 

[Kafka]

Dutch are tired.  

They're all clogged down...

 

[NutterButter]

Wonderful ball by Rapinoe.   Try not to shoot it right at the goalie.

 

[The General]

They're all clogged down...

I'd say they are playing pretty gouda.

 

[El Floppo]

Morgan, Rapinoe and Heath haven't been great today...

Dunn, ertz, Lavelle, CBs have been fantastic

Oh, Dunn!

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Dutch keeper is going to have PTSD if her defense keeps this up.

 

[rockaction]

Yee - ikes. What a save.

Netherlands goalie has been top flight.

 

[Kafka]

Dunn deserves one...

 

[jabarony]

Morgan, Rapinoe and Heath haven't been great today...

Dunn, ertz, Lavelle, CBs have been fantastic

Oh, Dunn!

She's a true defender now!

 

[Slapdash]

Yee - ikes. What a save.

Netherlands goalie has been top flight.

Yeah, she is having a hell of a game back there.

 

[GROOT]

Is that Mrs. Van Der SArr in goal?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Netherlands goalie has been top flight.

Agreed.  This would have been over in the first half if not for her.  The Dutch are simply overmatched. 

 

[The General]

:tipscap:

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

PRESS IS IN

ARE GOONS HAPPY NOW?

 

[badmojo1006]

Rapinoe...deserved that applause 

 

[gianmarco]

PRESS IS IN

ARE GOONS HAPPY NOW?

Yes.

Rapinoe is terrible.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

I don’t like this kick

 

[El Floppo]

Ref calls that?

 

[Slapdash]

Morgan, Rapinoe and Heath haven't been great today...

Dunn, ertz, Lavelle, CBs have been fantastic

Oh, Dunn!

Dunn has been massive covering for the obviously not 100% Rapinoe on the left.

 

[NutterButter]

JC 17.  Hold the ####### wall.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

God I love her!!

Rose!!!!

Love seeing a Wisconsin Badger get a goal

 

[Bonzai]

Rapinoe...deserved that applause 

Legend

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Slooooooooooowwwwwww this down

 

[NewlyRetired]

Let's get started - damn that Bradley sucks

I fear it is going to be a long night.....hopefully Mexico won't be able to find the shooting boots tonight, which has been missing from their otherwise very good play.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Slightly uncomfortable here in my living room when Press subbed into the game.  

My wife's friend:  "who is she?"

Me:  "god I love her"

 

[gianmarco]

Oh Heath...

 

[NutterButter]

Heath sure does like dribbling in the box

 

[El Floppo]

Dunn has been massive covering for the obviously not 100% Rapinoe on the left.

Fantastic 

Even if she wasn't so good on the ball today (and she's been amazing) just that defensive work has been epic.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

wHO wOulD WiN bEtWeEn...

 

[Jobber]

Heath sure does like dribbling in the box

And again. However the defender did a great job giving her nothing.

 

[JaxBill]

@BrodyLogan: Here's where you can cheer on your favorite #USWNT stars after the #FIFAWWC in the NWSL (1/2)

Chicago:
Morgan Brian, Julie Ertz, Alyssa Naeher, Casey Short

North Carolina:
Abby Dahlkemper, Crystal Dunn, Sam Mewis, McCall Zerboni

Orlando: Ashlyn Harris, Alex Morgan

@BrodyLogan: Portland: Adrianna Franch, Tobin Heath, Lindsey Horan, Emily Sonnett

Seattle/Tacoma: Allie Long, Megan Rapinoe

New Jersey: Carli Lloyd

Salt Lake City: Kelley O’Hara, Christen Press, Becky Sauerbrunn

Washington DC: Rose Lavelle, Mallory Pugh

 

[NutterButter]

The ref has been at least consistent with letting them play.   

 

[gianmarco]

Heath and the GK with a budding relationship. Seem to be having some close, prolonged conversations in the penalty box while she dribbles around.

 

[Kafka]

wHO wOulD WiN bEtWeEn...

...the USWNT & San Marino?

 

[gianmarco]

The ref has been at least consistent with letting them play.   

No doubt. Great job not stopping Netherlands.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Heath is amazing with the ball but apparently she is allergic to actually shooting.

 

[NewlyRetired]

wHO wOulD WiN bEtWeEn...

It was even predicted way back in the 5th post of the thread this would eventually happen. 

 

[El Floppo]

And again. However the defender did a great job giving her nothing.

Heath needed to commit to make a move to either open up the shot or allow her to burst by the defender. She just kept doing nothing and the defender did a good job allowing that...even though she kept backing up deep into her own box (a no no)

 

[jabarony]

I wanted it to remain 1-0 for the intrigue. But if it had to go to 2-0 ,that was a perfect way to do it. See you in 4 years!

 

[JaxBill]

...the USWNT & San Marino?

The answer is Alabama 

 

[NutterButter]

Heath needed to commit to make a move to either open up the shot or allow her to burst by the defender. She just kept doing nothing and the defender did a good job allowing that...even though she kept backing up deep into her own box (a no no)

Way too indecisive

Thank you kind sir

Love the juju of this match finishing 2 nil in light of tonight’s match  

The USWNT dynasty continues

 

[El Floppo]

Would love to see Lloyd score here

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

I wanted it to remain 1-0 for the intrigue. But if it had to go to 2-0 ,that was a perfect way to do it. See you in 4 years!

It’s a world championship game featuring the USA not an episode of Scooby Doo.

 

[El Floppo]

That far linesman has been great today. Ref and other, not so much

 

[JaxBill]

It’s a world championship game featuring the USA not an episode of Scooby Doo.

USA would have gotten away with a 5-nil win if not for that meddling GK
