USWNT 2023: Journey to a 5th Star

[pacman 7366]

Warm-up against Wales.

7 players in the starting lineup today that haven't played in a World Cup.

 

 

 

[Hagbard Celine 10901]

it's good to see them struggle in this match

the us fed typically schedules cupcake sendoffs (see: 1998 Steve Sampson's 3-6-1 v. Kuwait)

wales are ranked 18 in uefa and were in the last 3 out after finishing 2nd in their group and winning a playoff game

[pacman 7366]

There is a goal for young Rodman. 1-0 USA

[QuesoEspecial 255]

😱Trinity Rodman!!!🇺🇸

[ztejas 43526]

Someone had to start it. 

[alincoln 2381]

I would be surprised if this team doesn't have its worst ever finish in the World Cup (currently 3rd), although we are in the much easier side of the draw.  Australia, Canada, England, France, Brazil and Germany are all in the other half of the draw.

Conservatives will be rooting against this team again 

[Captain Ron 12887]

GAME DAY!

 

Or is it tomorrow? I am confused. I know the game is on at 9 PM tonight, but the game is technically tomorrow.

[ztejas 43526]

I wish there was a better game on tonight. Gonna see if I can get the Natitas on one screen and the Rangers on another. 

[Fudbelty 2789]

Shitty fouls are shitty.

[shadow_operative 15932]

vietnam is going to finish with 8 players.

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Did FIFA snag some female CONCACRAP refs for this match?

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Alex still hella fine 

[Horn80 6131]

Goal!!

[kingkoopa6 8377]

That flick was nasty

That touch by Morgan was nice. 

I like how they're utilizing her. Checking up instead of trying to play her over the top. Vietnam is collapsing on her and she has the skill to play in. 

[Bottlecap 1523]

I’d like to see Rodman get more involved on the wing. Vietnam is just absolutely clogging the center of the pitch

[Fudbelty 2789]

Did the ref leave her cards in the locker room? JFC.

I’m watching this with my 6 year old daughter (her favorite sport is soccer). Such a great night in my life.

Same, though this is our 4th WWC to watch together...

I think one of the frustrating parts of the women's game is that they rarely step to the ball on a pass. They seem to just stand, seemingly stuck to the pitch, until the ball and the defender arrive at the same time.

The US women have lost at least a half-dozen balls in the first 30 minutes that they would've kept, had they just stepped to the ball

[Firemans4Horn 18118]

We need to work it to Rodman. She was crushing it the first 20 minutes but has barely had a touch since. 

[Firemans4Horn 18118]

That’s a pen

[RamjetFDO 10577]

That’s a pen

That has to be called from VAR....

[elfenix 34331]

a spaniard and a morrocan?  probably just going to argue about ceuta and melilla

[Firemans4Horn 18118]

Scissor tackle and whiffed on the ball. 

[Horn80 6131]

Terrible shot

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Baby Horse screwed the pooch on that penalty.

[Firemans4Horn 18118]

That was terrible contact on the ball

[QuesoEspecial 255]

Sheeesh Baby Horse that was no bueno…hope she’s not hurt!

[Firemans4Horn 18118]

VAR my lord. VAR

[elfenix 34331]

did she even touch it?

[Horn80 6131]

What off sides?

[WBT 20646]

Just now, elfenix said:

Still went for it.  Otherwise the keeper makes a clean catch.

[Firemans4Horn 18118]

Just now, elfenix said:

That’s my question. Zoom into the header. 

[elfenix 34331]

assistant director: should we show a replay?

director: nah let's show some people standing around

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

[WBT 20646]

Huh?  Alrighty then.

Also, laughably poor by the keeper on the shot.

Edited July 22, 2023 by WBT

[Firemans4Horn 18118]

Nobody was offsides when the goalie punched it out. Seems like an easy VAR overturn. 

[RamjetFDO 10577]

That's twice the Viet keeper has been megged for a goal.

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

Oh, so she didn't forget her cards?

[Fudbelty 2789]

Got them out of the dressing room at half, duh.

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

Rapinoe rocking the Chilli Bowl.

Rapinoe rocking the Jade Chili Bowl.

FIFY.
