Save some of these goals for the next game....

 

[Ned]

 

 

[El Floppo]

it's like the conga line..

duh, duh, duh, duh, duh- goal- duh, duh, duh, duh, duh- goal

 

[Christo]

I'm starting to feel bad.

 

[El Floppo]

Save some of these goals for the next game....

or lend some of them to the men's team.

 

[El Floppo]

I'm starting to feel bad.

same. was thinking about how nice thai people are... and those kids in the cave. big US bully meanies.

 

[whoknew]

From Grant Wahl - Fact of the matter is goal-difference could really matter in the group, and so Jill Ellis is right to do a Tom Osborne here.

 

[El Floppo]

that GK though. not good.

 

[otb_lifer]

o/u as for how long it takes them to hit for 5 goals: 43.5 minutes

did they cover this?

 

[Ned]

did they cover this?

It was 3-0 at HT. 

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

did they cover this?

No. It was 3-0 at half. 

But they did score 4 goals in 6 minutes in the 2nd. 

 

[shader]

It’s probably not a good idea for your GK to be the shortest person on the field. Her reaction times seem like an 80-year old too.

Edit: actually made a good save while I was typing this.

 

[otb_lifer]

ONLY 1,000/1

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Run it up! 

Remember Khe Sanh!

 

[shader]

Hatty!

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Man, I love watching Rapinoe play.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Called it

 

[Ned]

WTF was that celebration?  

 

[Christo]

Oh, great. Show me a little Thai girl crying.

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

The Beautiful Game.

Unless you're from Thailand. 

 

[jimmy b]

We need to pull the U.S. goalkeeper, we need a extra attacker.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

 Show me a little Thai girl crying.

That was actually funny in a very, very cruel way.

 

[otb_lifer]

HFS 

USWNT ony favored by 5.5 coming in ... they gon' double that? 

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Time to call off the dogs.

Put in the USMNT now.

 

[Plorfu]

They're expending more energy celebrating goals than scoring them 

 

[Capella]

Announcers just said it’s showing respect to Thailand by mercilessly beating their brains in like this.  

 

[Christo]

How many of these goals were a direct result of the Thai GK being 4'2"?

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Announcers just said it’s showing respect to Thailand by mercilessly beating their brains in like this.  

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

How many of these goals were a direct result of the Thai GK being 4'2"?

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

The Thai coach just realized he on,y had 9 players on the field.

 

[otb_lifer]

Announcers just said it’s showing respect to Thailand by mercilessly beating their brains in like this.  

yep, that lesson will be burnt right into their psyches ... bet if they played tomorrow it would only be an 8-0 final

 

[Jobber]

A lot of times, in youth soccer they have the slow little kid play goalie. Under normal circumstances they don’t make it to the national team...

 

[Don't Noonan]

Why hasn't the bench been emptied?

 

[Jobber]

Why hasn't the bench been emptied?

Yeah, definitely should have subbed out some players. In an #### kicking like this, there is a risk of retaliatory spiking or what not to your stars.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Me pretty much after every goal in the 2nd half

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Who is this twinkle-toed Commie commentator saying they should have let up?

 

[El Floppo]

Why hasn't the bench been emptied?

Yeah, definitely should have subbed out some players. In an #### kicking like this, there is a risk of retaliatory spiking or what not to your stars.

only allowed 3 subs. 

 

[El Floppo]

goal differential does come into play in terms of who you play in the knock-out stages. 

more goals now = likely lesser opponent later.

 

[shader]

Why hasn't the bench been emptied?

All 3 subs were used by ‘69

 

[otb_lifer]

All 3 subs were used by '69

 

[Jobber]

only allowed 3 subs. 

I was only half watching but did they even sub anyone?

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

I was only half watching but did they even sub anyone?

They put in Betty White about ‘54.

She scored 2 goals and had an assist.

 

[El Floppo]

I was only half watching but did they even sub anyone?

yes. as shader said, they used all three subs in a 69

 

[shader]

yes. as shader said, they used all three subs in a 69

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

yes. as shader said, they used all three subs in a 69

OH COME ON

 

[zoobird]

I'm not that knowledgeable about most of the players on the team, but aren't Lloyd and Pugh (who were both subbed in) two of the better goal scorers?  Kind of seems like the subs were intended to get more of the US women goals...not to go easy on Thailand.

I don't know the team very well, and didn't watch the game, but according to the listed positions it appears Pugh for Ertz was subbing offense for defense. Meaning, your guess seems correct.

According to Wikipedia, the most goals scored in a Women's World Cup was Michelle Akers with 10 in 1991.  Morgan is gunning for that record.

Somebody on twitter said she may only need 2-3 more for the golden boot.
