Women’s World Cup ‘23 Game Thread (spoilers)

Yes, sub in the 120th minute. Jesus.

Two subs no less.

 

[hunter05]

Going to be sick over this.

I love Rapinoe. But she doesn't have it anymore. Tired of seeing her subbed in. Her legs looked heavier than everyone who had been playing the entire time.

 

[lars10]

Every touch from Rapinoe has looked awful.

She has also seemed pretty lazy off the ball to my eye.. her corners and kicks haven’t been particularly impressive.. announcer talking about the coach relying on the history of the player rather than the players current form was spot on.

I don't want her in the first five PK takers, but I'm guessing she is.

 

[fletcherpost]

Musovic carried the Swedes on her shoulders. Dunno if she can keep it going through the PKs though.

 

[ifmanis5]

I like Sweden's keeper better so this is a bit nervy.

She wasn’t great last World Cup.. given the player pool it seems silly to bring players on the wrong side of 30 and expect major contributions from them.

Given the coach I’m sure she is.

 

[ifmanis5]

Great take. She had a good game.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Good start

 

[lars10]

Sick first penalty

 

[Catcher Block]

The short run up is so hard to stop.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Keep ‘em coming

 

[BaseballJones]

Geez this is nerve-wracking.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Nerve wracking

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Geez this is nerve-wracking.

What he said

 

[ifmanis5]

Baggio'd.

 

[Catcher Block]

As a first touch in the whole game, that was a badass penalty

 

[ifmanis5]

LOL

 

[nayrbrey]

Miss!

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

HUGE

 

[ifmanis5]

Rapinoe nightmare game.

 

[Catcher Block]

Oh fuck off

 

[nayrbrey]

Ugh Rapinoe

 

[lars10]

yup..

 

[Investor 11]

What a save!!!!

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Why. Is. She. Playing.

 

[lars10]

Wow

 

[nayrbrey]

That was huge!

 

[hunter05]

Of fucking course

 

[ifmanis5]

Ohhhhhh nooo

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Wow!!!

 

[lars10]

Why. Is. She. Playing.

And she’s smiling after the miss..

 

[Catcher Block]

What the fuck is going on

 

[lars10]

Come on

 

[Preacher]

How can they miss the net by so much?

 

[Average Reds]

Some weak efforts here.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Jesus. We deserve to lose this shit.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Brutal

 

[hunter05]

JFC

 

[ifmanis5]

Ohtani?

 

[Catcher Block]

Goalie PKs are always the best.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Keeper with a “sick of your bullshit” finish.

 

[nayrbrey]

GKs dream

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Keeper!

 

[Average Reds]

Always surprised that they don’t just drill it down the middle. Keeper always moves.

 

[ifmanis5]

Ohhhhh shit

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Can’t have three misses without making the goalie make a single save.

 

[Skeptikal]

How do you not put it on net and at least force the keeper to make the save?

 

[nayrbrey]

Fuiuuuuck
