2015 Women's World Cup

[TSC]

We may actually get to see a live seppuku tonight.

Awesome.

 

[canderson]

I got home late, just tuned on for that 4th goal.

HELL YES!!!!!!!

 

[Beomoose]

The Great Vancouver Turkey Shoot

 

[Bozo Texino]

Boom boom goes the atomic bomb

 
Classy.

 

[JimBoSox9]

I'm not sure I've ever seen an explicit heat check shot and goal in soccer, but that definitely was one

 

[Average Reds]

SWEEP THE LEG

 

[Cellar-Door]

So leaving aside the ridiculous chip. The other 3 goals were all off terrible plays by the same CB.

 

[McDrew]

This is Germany-Brazilesque. 
 
Lloyd almost just had her fourth. 

 

[Sportsbstn]

oh man.   barely missed a 4th goal

 

[Average Reds]

Lloyd is a bum. Sit her.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

She is human.
 
Should have been 5.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

This is fugly. Awesome, but fugly.

 

[LogansDad]

Lloyd might own the all time WWC goals record after this match, even if she didn't have any before.

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice talent evaluation, Pia

 

[teddykgb]

Just comical defending. Really unbelievable

 

[SoxFanInCali]

I started to post this before the 3rd and 4th goals came back-to-back, but I can only assume Japan is having a miserable time with the sun. They normally aren't anywhere near this bad defensively.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Nice talent evaluation, Pia

Hey it worked perfectly for her. Lloyd was the worst player on the field against Sweden.

Suck it Tojo.

We tried to be fair and played the first 2 in on the ground.
 
And before that 2nd goal went in, there was a hand ball too.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

hahahah remember when the Aussies were saying the US wasn't THAT good

 

[teddykgb]

The sun being an issue would make some sense. I can't figure out why the keeper was so far out but maybe she couldn't see. Also might explain the awful clearing header

 

[URI]

Hey it worked perfectly for her. Lloyd was the worst player on the field against Sweden.

 
Considering Lloyd is going to get WotM in the World Cup Final that Pia is watching...I wouldn't say....perfect.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Yeah I think the sun HAS to have something to do with this.

 

[Cellar-Door]

 
Considering Lloyd is going to get WotM in the World Cup Final that Pia is watching...I wouldn't say....perfect.

Pia probably should have talked shit about more German players.

 

[URI]

I mean yeah, the sun is pretty brutal, but it's not like 2 of Lloyd's goals and Holliday's goal came when they were marked and the keeper lost in the sun.

 

[Average Reds]

Yeah I think the sun HAS to have something to do with this.

These are world class players. The sun is an advantage, but it's not the reason for this.

 

[URI]

Pia probably should have talked shit about more German players.

 
Or worried more about actually beating the US or Australia (or Nigeria) than trying to play Junior Mourinho.  .

Spanish call of the hat trick

 

[DJnVa]

The only way this would be better is if Sepp were here.

 

[Sportsbstn]

US is just much quicker to the ball and far more precise right now.   Thats not the sun, though I am sure it had some effect.

 

[StupendousMan]

Unfortunately for Japan, the US won't have to suffer from the sun in the second half.  The organizers should have played the game at a different time, or a different stadium.

 

[Van Everyman]

That was awesome

 

[DJnVa]

Pity goal!!!

 

[Bozo Texino]

Great finish, there.

 

[Average Reds]

Nice play and a bit of sloppy defending by the U.S.

 

[LogansDad]

Wow, that was a really nice play.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

Japan not going to lie down.

 

[canderson]

Hope Solo was busy knitting an American flag during that goal.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Johnston got worked on that one.
 
Nice to have a 4 goal lead when you give one up, though.

 

[Ale Xander]

C'mon Julie

 

[DJnVa]

Was that Johnston? She slipped.

 

[DJnVa]

Japan not going to lie down.

 
Well no, you remember the Pacific campaign?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Whew, that would have made things interesting.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Japan threatening...

 

[Bozo Texino]

Impressive stuff on Japan's part.  They're gonna keep this up for the full ninety.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The sun doesn't stop you from picking up the opponent's best goal scorer while she runs freely through the box.

Don't let this become 4-2 before the half.

 

[teddykgb]

These are world class players. The sun is an advantage, but it's not the reason for this.

Do world class players have world class eyes that can see through sun glare?

 

[Cellar-Door]

I wonder if Japan brings in their super-sub for a full half down this much.

Love the color guy half gasping as it went in.
