The Soccer Thread (Version 9)

For all we know it may have been. The ref was pretty demonstrative on her call. Maybe they looked and didn’t see enough to have her take a look.

 

My friend, you're never going to be a Fox Sports soccer analyst with that kind of attitude.

 

Have you been watching this tournament? Holy crap, they call everything!

 

They showed two of them going crazy during England goals yesterday. And yes, who cares.

 

Finally, the country is getting a glimpse of the ineptitude of Alex Curry, which SoCals have had to endure for several years on Angels and Kings. "How were you able to win?" followed by an overdone, toothy smile.

 

The only reason I mentioned it is, any semblance of objective coverage is compromised. But commentators for women's sports generally serve as advocates with an agenda than objective analysts, so I'm certainly not surprised.

 

Your ability to reach for stuff to whine about in this tournament is breathtaking to behold.

 

I thought he might’ve been referring to ginger hot take machine Alexi Lalas. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Yeah, two things. A crappy effort vs. Spain, and blatant homerism by the FOX announcing crew. A real big laundry list.

Glad I could keep you on edge.

 

Hey man, don't sell yourself short. You whined about the "US White Suburban Women's Team" wanting to get paid fairly, you complained about how bad the goalie is, you complained about Rapinoe and Morgan not being good enough, you complained about American broadcasters almost seeming like they wanted the US to do well...

I look forward to seeing how Tuesday's game angers you.

 

Sorry you are triggered so easily, and confuse observations for anger.

The US played like shit against Spain. They have seemed more worried about getting paid and did not play well until today, and even then they almost blew a two-goal lead in the final 15. They had an incredibly thin skin about valid criticism following the Thailand debacle.

There is a remarkable lack of diversity on that team. The goalie is not as good as Hope Solo. Rapinoe did not play especially well against Spain, and Morgan has all but disappeared in the round of 16 and the quarterfinals.

You can chill about Tuesday, I'll let you be the fanboi cheerleader for the USA. I'm pulling for England. Cheerio.

 

"Triggered." You're precious.

Enjoy the Rainbow Coalition that is the English national team.
