Sinclaire missing a penalty was not good for Canada. Canada didn't look good at all.

I hope it's more competitive than just watching the US women cruise to another world title, Canada was not pleased with their game, England squeaked by Haiti

US could have harder time this year seeing as how more than half of the team has never played in a world cup game. They did win their first game. That's a start.

USA not cruising for sure. Alex Morgan missed a penalty kick badly in the first game. Who will take them going forward??

Yesterday's game an OUCH! First time (ever?) they didn't score the first goal? They came out strong but the Dutch didn't concede and then shocked the USA by penetrating a then confused, lackluster defense and scored the first goal. USA only drew the tie because Lindsey Horan got really pissed off after being viciously tackled about the 62nd minute, then immediately scored her cool header on a corner kick. The USA had 11 corners, the Dutch had 1!

USA used only one substitution, came in 2nd half. It was a great move, but team chemistry is very suspect right now. They need to gel. This looks to me (I have seen little of the other teams) like anything but a USA cruise. Plenty of teams have a legit chance. I have no sense that any team is dominating.

How fast can FOX News publish a story about Rapino missing a PK?

 

[SKORPI0]

USA vs. Sweden 0 -0 full 90 minutes after two 15 minute extentions

Penalty kicks - USA 3 of 5 Sweden - 3 of 5
Extra penalty kicks - USA 1 of 2 Sweden 2 of 2

USA out !!!! Sweden advances to top 8.

I knew this was gonna happen to the US team eventually, they didn't have the spirit to win. Lots of oppurtunites to goal. Rapinoe missed that crucial PK, and retires at 38 years old.
Sweden's goalie was awesome during the 90 minutes of play and 30 minute extentions.

I was glad the US lost. All the BS over pay turned me off.

The irony. The women get equal pay and lose earlier than ever. I don't know if the two are related, but I can name a few baseball and footbal players that got fat contratcs only to never play well again.

lol. what a fucking dumb person you must be.

 

[KMFJD]

maybe the American team just held on to their former top players for too long? or has the rest of the world started to catch up?

I think it's a bit of both

Did you fucking watch the games?

Did you fucking watch the games?

Rapinoe came late into the game, flubbed several free kicks, then missed her penalty kick, so yeah, they held too long to older players.
The US was the better team, but lacked scoring talent.
