OMG that was slick. I take it all back

[The Dog 44019]

Phenomenal finish. Smith had been horrible until that point.

[randomhorn 1728]

[ztejas 43411]

Finally. Jesus.

Girma is so fucking calm and disciplined 

Started with her pass.

Germany is dead tired. They were playing for pens and now they will have to change strategy

[Captain Ron 12870]

YES!

 

[ztejas 43411]

Rodman is crafty and seems like our clear best attacker. Wish she could play both on the outside and in the middle.

Foudy just pointed out that their attack is mostly trying to go right up the middle. But it’s a bad strategy because they just keep banging their head against Brick Wall Girma.

Hopefully it leaves them exposed on defense and we can put another one on them.

Can we fucking sub Mallory out? She has nothing at this point. 

[Captain Ron 12870]

That needs to be chipped IMHO

[tokamak 6395]

Feels like we’re going into bunker mode. I don’t like it. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4769]

Who’s grandmother just subbed in for USA?

[ztejas 43411]

Nice shift from Mallory just feel like she didn't make any good decisions in front of the net. 

[Captain Ron 12870]

Even if Germany scored, they were WAY offsides.

[kingkoopa6 8347]

Tim Howard in net 

[HenryJames 66038]

Noonan!

[WBT 20561]

That had to be offside, no?

Well, maybe not

Edited August 6 by WBT

[HenryJames 66038]

Should be 3-0.

[tokamak 6395]

Jesus what a sequence

I'm not so sure either. I thought it was, but that was close.

Just a solid damn save.

[tokamak 6395]

Whew

[randomhorn 1728]

Yay us!

[NorthLoop 14183]

Let's maybe practice some 1 on 1 drills against the GK. There's usually like 5 ways to score there and we seem to know none of them. 

[The Dog 44019]

LOL Sophia Smith's FOTMOB rating went from 6.3 at the half to 8.5 and MOTM.

Don’t see how WOTM could be anyone but Girma.

agreed but I think they rate goals too high. Girma was 8.1 fwiw.

[ztejas 43411]

Thought Girma and Rodman were our best players. 

Smith goal was obviously huge but it shouldn't have been the only goal of the match. 

[texastough 1129]

Any idea why attendance looks so low in the stadium? Fans not leaving Paris to travel to Marseilles and other match sites?

Probably part of it. 

Also - the stadium they just played in seats 60k.

[Ted Lange 16084]

Girma has to be one of the top 3-5 players in the world.   Just an absolute boss.

That was still a pretty small crowd. I would have expected more.

[Ted Lange 16084]

also.

So, Horan.  Fill me in.  I know she's captain and I've heard the hype, but I'm not really seeing it.  Happy to be wrong.

EDIT:  just saw the free kick video posted by @Ted Lange, LMAO

I’ll readily admit that I’m a complete soccer n00b but this is where I’m at too.

Look at the rest of his videos from today.  Just dogshit after dogshit with her.

[PittsburghTiger 6175]

That was a beautiful goal for the win, and an even more amazing save to preserve the victory.

Well done, ladies.

[alincoln 2371]

Girma just turned 24 in June.  Looks like Maldini out there.  

Hayes will definitely be looking to reshape the MF over the next few years and there is plenty of young talent coming through.  This is likely the last hurrah for both Lavelle and Horan.

I mean she's 30. My guess is that her game is starting to go. It sucks for her, but father time comes for us all.

Spain getting their ass beat 3-0.  Looks like Brazil in the final.

Now 4-1 in the middle of 15 minutes of stoppage time.  Anyone see what happened?

[randomhorn 1728]

US v Brazil for the gold
