[QuizGuy66]

YESSSSSS BIG SAVE

[GroveDiesel]

Heck of a save on the PK.

 

[otb_lifer]

WHOAAAA

Yuuuuuugw!

 

[GroveDiesel]

Wow, that cross on the missed header by the Dutch was a heck of a play. US lucky that didn’t hit the back of the net.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Writhing around on the ground after you put a foot into the gut of the GK is good schtick.

 

[GroveDiesel]

What a terrible corner ball.

Holland has to learn the mystery sniper technique

Have the sound off - do they do ET or go straight to PKs?

same as men's - 2 15 minute periods first

[El Floppo]

Shouldn't be a foul, let alone a card. She got ball first. This is an area where the modern game sucks.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Rapinoe not even giving her teammates the ability to touch the ball on the set pieces was disappointing. Gotta be clutch there.

Gotta move her into National Treasure status ala Brazil and bring up the next generation of heroines.

pulling a George Michael ...

'cuz ya gotta have FAITH, faith ... faith

[QuizGuy66]

Van De Donk is an awesome poker player name.

[QuizGuy66]

Any time we wanna stop looking like crap...

-QG

 

[GroveDiesel]

Wow, US got lucky on that one

 

[AAABatteries]

Man our keeper is super shaky.....and she's got the crazy eyes.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Qatari VAR guy awards 2 goals...

-QG

 

[Capella]

Our gals aren’t looking very good out there. 

 

[BassNBrew]

Wow, US got lucky on that one

Yeah...I don't know the offsides rule but our keeper did touch that ball.  These days you have to secure the offside then go balls out to get back into the play.

I think they’re gassed. They made all their subs fairly early and they are an older team. Though that’s not a great excuse for simply not executing. They’ve had several great opportunities where they simply couldn’t make the connecting pass.

She was offsides before the shot was taken.

 

[QuizGuy66]

At this point need to hang on for the penalty lottery

i'm in transit atm ... no coverage here on the RR - looks like i picked the wrong morning to give up sniffin' glue

 

[heckmanm]

Press GOAL - offside by half an inch?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Seems like she WAS offsides by a hair, but goodness that was a late call.

 

[Capella]

It’s so much fun that every goal is immediately disallowed. 

 

[Ned]

Press GOAL - offside by half an inch?

Def was offside.  Great ball by Rapinoe.

Its by design, unfortunately.

Netherlands #13 > hai

 

[BassNBrew]

and again

 

[GroveDiesel]

Sigh. Stay onside ladies!

 

[Ned]

####### hell 

 

[Sinn Fein]

Correct call both times

 

[Capella]

It’s so much fun that every goal is immediately disallowed. 

this said maybe they could try staying onside

 

[BassNBrew]

These ladies are bunching up around the ball like it's a U8 game.

 

[General Malaise]

9 - NINE disallowed goals for the US this Olympics.  I'm not a soccer expurt but good golly, does the coach need to answer for this?  Crazy.

I also am not an expert but the Morgan one seems pretty egregious by her. She was way off. 

 

[General Malaise]

I mean a team this experienced and this talented....to be flagged offsides on nine goals?   I just don't get it.  

 

[Ned]

Horan - hell yeah.  118mins and recovers like that to break it up and create a chance.

 

[General Malaise]

I also am not an expert but the Morgan one seems pretty egregious by her. She was way off. 

Oh, I'm not at all questioning the calls.  They are correct but the offsides trap is soccer coaching 101 - avoid it!  Jimminy crickets, coach Magoo.

 

[BassNBrew]

If this was the NFL we'd be crushing them on FGs.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I hate watching Pens - might turn this one off...

 

[General Malaise]

I need to go to work but......nah.

 

[Ned]

I hate watching Pens - might turn this one off...

I don't trust Naeher.   

 

[Sinn Fein]

I don't trust Naeher.   

hmmm

 

[BassNBrew]

SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
