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

[The Kansas Comet]

Should be a yellow on Mewis there.

 

[Christo]

OMG, why does Dunn tuck in that tight?

 

[guru_007]

no yellow for embellishment in the women's game?

 

[The Kansas Comet]

OMG, why does Dunn tuck in that tight?

Because she's an attacker being asked to play defense.  She's done that a few times this tournament.  She had a pretty glaring one against Sweden that allowed a good shot on goal.  It makes me nervous, certainly.

 

[Capella]

France just hit +600 for rt W ... Rapinoe was +200 to score first goal 

Can’t see France getting two regulation goals on this defense. 

 

[otb_lifer]

Can’t see France getting two regulation goals on this defense. 

France had to score first to have a shot - tall order for them here ... i just need one outta them - hopefully they press a bit  more and set our gals up for some easy tries. 

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Jesus, Morgan.  Please complete a 5-yard pass.

Interstate highway coming down the french right for france

 

[Galileo]

I have watched the last 15 minutes of this USA-France game.  I have come to the conclusion that soccer still sucks.  Enjoy.  I'm out...

 

[ffldrew]

My direct tv feed is frozen - thanks Obama

 

[AAABatteries]

What happened to @The Gator ? 

Good riddance 

@Bluto Blutarsky

What’s amazing is that US is in a five woman block and she’s still getting stuck inside.

Good stuff here 

 

[ChiefD]

Dunn just getting trucked out there.

 

[Christo]

I'll take French headers from the penalty spot on corners all day long.

So many innuendos here. 

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Diani is just a nightmare for Dunn right now.  

 

[AAABatteries]

French headers from the penalty spot

I watched this video on EuroFetish.com

 

[JaxBill]

So the Women don't have to pass outside the 18 yard box on a GK? 

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Umm, can we not pass it straight to France in our own half?

 

[Christo]

They're just giving balls away left and right 

 

[Christo]

So the Women don't have to pass outside the 18 yard box on a GK? 

FIFA changed the rule for everyone.

 

[JaxBill]

FIFA changed the rule for everyone.

For the record I was not questioning the sexual orientation of either keeper.

 

[JaxBill]

France with a ton of possession and momentum last 15 minutes.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

So the Women don't have to pass outside the 18 yard box on a GK? 

No one does anymore. FIFA amended The Laws of the Game. 

 

[Christo]

Hey, look. The US had some possession in the French half.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

LOL, get Renard a saddle. 

 

[Christo]

Just some horrible touches for the US

What a #####.

 

[JaxBill]

Not sure if that rule change would have made youth coaching easier or harder for me.

 

[JaxBill]

Just some horrible touches for the US

And a couple of weak outside shots when they've had chances.

[GroveDiesel]

The US is doing a good job getting feet on the ball on their own side to disrupt France, but they're creating zero space on the attack, not controlling touches well and sending some truly awful passes. The entire offense is basically a two man game between Rapinoe and Morgan.

 

[JaxBill]

Dunn just getting trucked out there.

Lalas just praised her.

[ChiefD]

France seems pretty cohesive. This second half is going to be tough for the US.

 

[encaitar]

France is outplaying us in the midfield.  I really wish the US had a physical, technically sound midfielder with a penchant for picking out little passes to give us space......  

 

[culdeus]

Contrary to popular belief you can actually substitute in soccer.

 

[Christo]

What is the US's need to clear balls right to a French player standing at the top of the box?

 

[Christo]

Rapinoe has 15 yards of space in front of her so she decides to turn back and run right into a Frenchy.

 

[bryhamm]

side ref is not calling the offsides correctly.  you can "be" in the offsides by the team the ball arrives.  it's when it is kicked, ya dummie.

 

[Christo]

Are we sure this isn't the USMNT?

 

[Christo]

DO SOMETHING ELLIS!

 

[ffldrew]

US needs mid field possession bad

 

[JaxBill]

US needs mid field sub bad

 

[encaitar]

We switched to a 5-4-1.  Clearly Ellis is ok with trying to just hold onto this one goal lead.

 

[ffldrew]

Bad call by the ref there - that's too bad on the injury

 

[identikit]

Horan time!
