Sophie Smith with the reverse “Move over Swanson” from caddy shack. 

[BrickHorn 18199]

Swanson had her beat. Why did she hold up there? Touch into space!

[randomhorn 1681]

Ahhhhhhh! We need to capitalize on these mistakes by Brazil! 

[Mo Horn 8808]

Gotta put these chances on goal. At least make her make a save. 

[BrickHorn 18199]

That’s twice now that one of our forwards have held up when she has her defender beat with speed. You don’t have to shoot every time. Burn the fullback, go to the line, and put it across the goal. Sheesh.

DO NOT TURTLE

collapse and disrupt around the circle

fuck attacking for the next 10 minutes

[BrickHorn 18199]

That looked like a bad foul live, but no foul on replay.

[utee94 15751]

I love when they pretend they have no idea they just committed a card-worthy foul.

[randomhorn 1681]

If you’re going to kick it directly into the wall, kick it into their faces

She had a point, because she got the ball first.

[SurlyGator 862]

she hip checked her before she got ball.

No because

Yup.  Plus the arm-bar.  She attempted a move that could not have been completed cleanly.

[Mo Horn 8808]

10 minutes is a lot of time

[Ted Lange 16055]

10 minutes?  GTFO

[Mo Horn 8808]

Huge save, but I think she was offside anyway

[BrickHorn 18199]

That save was awesome.

It is a travesty that Lavelle won’t log a minute in this game. Meanwhile, Horan continues to compound dumb passes with poor technique.

[Mo Horn 8808]

Should have been a yellow card

Maybe we pull her now.

I don’t think so. That was just a hard play. Head on a swivel. 

[Captain Ron 12819]

What’s that gonna add? 2’? 3’?

Yeah looked like a clean play on the ball to me. 

[Hagbard Celine 10797]

i wish our fanbase knew the right cadence of support

we should have started whistling for the clock 2 miniutes ago

[utee94 15751]

Very Brazil-friendly execution of stoppage thus far.

[Mo Horn 8808]

Gold medal

[BrickHorn 18199]

Another ugly win but I’ll take it. 

[Underdog 28485]

Congrats, Ladies!!! 

[utee94 15751]

WOOHOO!

 

[randomhorn 1681]

[hornbri 1380]

And it’s gold!!! Awesome. 

[NAVY 6739]

Yay!!!!!! Go ladies! 

[CurlyDumps 4456]

Never heard the term nursery slopes. 😂

[Hagbard Celine 10797]

[SurlyGator 862]

All the Brazilian girls look more pissed than sad.  Suck it!!

Emma Hayes just won the gold and went undefeated with the same team that scored like 2 goals aside from drubbing Vietnam in the World Cup.  Almost the exact same starters minus Alex Morgan.   Coaching matters.

That is 9 Gold Medals/WC titles for the US.  Second place is Germany with 3.

Fuck off Europe with your 2 wins in the last 9 global tournaments. US has 5 of the other 7 during that period.  

[Ted Lange 16055]

 

 

[WBT 20488]

Gold!

Credit to Hayes, I didn't see that turnaround in one year coming.  It helped that we seem to prioritize picking our best players for the team this time.

Does Missimo have a shot for the next cycle?  I was a little surprised Eggleston wasn’t on the volleyball team.

[SurlyGator 862]

My daughter (no pics) was in the office of one of her school counselors yesterday when the gold medal match was on.  The counselor commented on the age of one of the US players (37, I think).  My daughter responded with "Wow, that's great!"  The counselor snapped back with "No it's not, she needs to retire!"

That counselor happens to be the mother of a certain former Longhorn player mentioned in the previous post.  Maaayyyybe not the most objective, but as a parent, I get it!

Yeah, Alyssa had some big moments past two games. And here I was worried she'd be our weak link ...

She has a chance but she should have gone pro if she wants to break into the senior team.   Staying at Texas another year was a mistake. She will need to dominate immediately her rookie season.
