Official US Women's soccer thread: ***Update- Lavelle banger wins NWSL title for Gotham (3 Viewers)

[Moe.]

Not starting Mewis would be a massive mistake. Hope it doesn't burn them in the round of 16 but I also hope it's obvious enough after that match that she starts in the quarters. 

 

[Christo]

That sounds reasonable.  It’s not something that will really matter if/when Ertz is healthy and we have 4 top quality midfielders to switch around, but Press and Heath struggled to keep the midfield shape when they took their turns there.

That's because they're both wingers.

 

[Christo]

Annoying that the US team will not get a weekend game until the finals.  

Yeah, Fox didn't bribe the right peopleplan this very well.

fixed*

*yes, I said it

 

[Christo]

Let's go Super Falcons!

[Christo]

Ugh, she didn't even have to jump.

 

[otb_lifer]

I LOVE DER GURLIES!

Heck of a run down the left from Nigeria - just a foot away from making this match very interesting.

Anyone mention that US Soccer and the USWNT have agreed to mediation?

Binding or non-binding. Big difference. Seems non-binding would be a waste of time given the claims.

Nigeria with a pretty good showing in the WC despite not being anywhere near as talented as the other top 15 teams.  They looked pretty competent against the #2 team in the world today.  I'm thinking their coach will be getting some looks in the years going forward.

 

[otb_lifer]

OZZIEOZZIEOZZIE!

gimme some of that Nick Cave mojo in the first half! 

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Kerr with a dangerous chance for an early goal sent into the side netting.

 

[Christo]

The Grasshoppers deserved that.

 

[Christo]

That's not a PK.

 

[Sand]

That's not a PK.

Clearly a boob impact.

 

[Christo]

Game on!

Someone really wants the European team to win.

ETA: replay shows it was clean.

Getting a little ragged out there.

 

[Jobber]

Nah. No red.

Clear foul. Was there anyone other than the GK that was going to get to her?

There was less jockeying and pushing on that then two AUS breakaways where zero foul was called.

She grabbed her jersey and pulled her down.

Not enough to “pull her down”. It was 90% flop.

[Jobber]

Oof a field goal.

 

[Kafka]

It was kerrtains after that miss...

Yep - those links on the landing page are like YouTube spam after a big event/game...there’s no there there.

Aw well, it’ll be available soon enough.

Come on our girls!

I don't remember ever seeing an indirect free kick inside the box. Interesting.

I’ve never seen that. Wild.

Cameroon didn’t defend that all to well. That keeper should have had that far post and just trusted her defenders to guard the other 3/4 of that goal.

Looked to me like she was too far in the middle.

COME ON OUR BIRDS!!!!

Yep. Don't know if the GK would have been able to keep that shot out. But she'd have had a better chance than the one who was close to it.

 

[Christo]

Good goal

What is this ####?

WOW ... bailed my ### out during injury time! 

THANK YOU, BRIT BABES!
