2015 Women's World Cup

[LionNYC]

Someone on reddit posted that this was Jill Ellis's strategy from the beginning, to never show our true opponent (Germany) our real tactics playing the 4-3-3. The guy claimed that our talent alone would get us through the group and first two rounds of the knockout even in a 4-4-2.

Completely revamped tactics. Were we sandbagging the world?

Also, I really like Ari. Her and Wynalda's constant flirting makes it worth watching. She's actually pretty damn charming for a Kraut.

What is this? You are watching the USWNT game? After you advised me me to skip watching the WWC! You wily fox

You said you needed help. I have watched 6 awful performances before tonight. Finally got rewarded with something passing for a soccer match. Praise be.

If the final is USA-England...what's going to be the twitter story from NYCFC and MCFC. That would certainly be interesting, maybe spark the we're not Man City lite story for us. Fuck England, Go USA!

 

[LionNYC]

Australia beat Brazil, people called that the greatest upset in the World Cup. If England beats Japan, holy shit.

 

[Vito]

1-1 at the half between England and Japan. Two horrendous PK calls in the first half

 

[BxLio91]

You can call the first one harsh but the 2nd is a fucking disgrace.

 

[Keith Putnam]

Definitely two bad penalty calls, but fortunately the score is currently as even as the matchup between the teams seems to be.

England has an edge over Japan in attack, sort of, but their finishing has been awful. Japan's attacking movement has been a bit better, but it's resulting in fewer shots.

I think I'm pulling for England.

 

[BxLio91]

Gooooooooooooooooollllll de Japan. That was so England. Lmfaoooooooooooooo

 

[mgarbowski]

Gooooooooooooooooollllll de Japan. That was so England. Lmfaoooooooooooooo

Brutally painful.

 

[Keith Putnam]

I think this thing is going to PKs.
...except for that England own-goal which happened as I was posting this. What a huge bummer.

They need to confiscate her shoelaces, belt, and all sharp objects

 

[dannd23]

I hate England as a soccer nation but man I feel absolutely gutted for them and that girl.

 

[NYCFCFan10]

So we meet again, Japan...

 

[LionNYC]

Damn, couldn't imagine a finish like that and that girl will need therapy for the rest of her life. But England put up a valiant effort.

 

[FootyLovin]

That was one of the most agonizing sports moments I've ever seen.

And I watched Bill Buckner in '86.

It sure did helped me to be a bit selective - too many games and , I agree that some were good to put one to sleep. Praise be to exciting football/ soccer
Enjoy both Finals the WWC and Copa America. Happy 4th of July

Where is Sydney LeRoux during this World Cup? She was really hyped up to be on the best players on the team and she got benched. Just shows how stacked the American roster is.

 

[BxLio91]

Or the coach is pandering to "veterans" at the detriment of team performance. Sounds familiar?

 

[LionNYC]

If Alexi Lalas picks Japan in the pregame coverage of who will win, like he picked Germany, the United States should not let him to re-enter the country.
