TaiidanTomcat Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Casually paying half attention to Women's world Cup. Absolutely appalled at the US. Whining about calls, claiming Referee conspiracy in a game where the US got TWO penalty kicks yesterday Upset over two well deserved Yellow cards Complaining about the turf fields constantly Hope Solo is utter trash, and wouldn't get a job at Wal-Mart, Thank god she can catch a soccer ball. US Team allergic to coaching or change, several coaches have been fired thanks to player revolts from players who's prime has passed. Primary strategy is put physicality over tactics, then get upset when physicality fails, or when teams are physical back In thanks for your time, and to appease ARC's Canadian Overlords, here is a picture of Canadian Women's team Defender Lauren Sesselmann All praise Canada Quote Link to post Share on other sites

82Whitey51 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Wait a sec'...a bunch of woman got together and there's complaining, b!tching and whining? I'm a very casual observer to the game...it reminds me of the NBA, in that the refs truly can decide the outcomes of games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 If you don't like physical play and whining, don't cheer for the Canadian team either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I noticed the Oz Matilda's defeated Brazil! I have have little interest in soccer, but do note the Oz media hyping up our men's soccer team every WC, and every WC it comes to nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

breadneck Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 After Norways exit yesterday when beaten by England, i am sorry to say i lost some interest in the tournament. Some wise guys said we had "figured out" England and well there was little chance of facing defeat. I really had my hopes up for the girls as the mens recent world cup history is more or less non existent. Actually more. Of course not all find women sports interesting. May the best woman win.

chuck540z3 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sadly, most if not all that stuff is in every soccer game for women AND men. If they started to penalize players for diving and force those that go down like they were shot by gun to stay out of the game for at least 1/2 hour, it would clean up at least 50% of the BS we see on the "pitch". Until they do, you need to dive and feign injury just as much as the opposition to level the playing field. Since they introduced diving in hockey as a penalty a few years ago, swan dives have gone way down. Thanks for the pic of Lauren Sesselmann. I had no idea we had a woman soccer player who didn't have 5 o'clock shadow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pookie Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I say this with the absolute highest respect. Getting exited about watching women's football is like getting exited watching the special Olympics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Litvyak Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The only international sports competition worth watching anymore, because it's (mostly) still not about money (for now). And before any soccer 'fan' who likes men's footie but rags on the women in any way says anything further... the guys are on the floor *way* more often. And whinge more. Bloody disgusting. I'm gonna stop here though before I get myself banned from here, because ffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm gonna stop here though before I get myself banned from here, because ffs. Couldn't agree more. Whingeing is as much a part of men's footie as the actual game play. Matter of fact the only group of professional athletes that are bigger cry babies are F1 drivers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They seriously need to implement "diving/embellishment" penalties. It disrespects the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Not "just as bad" - they're far worse. How often do you see a guy go down, and stay down until they realise the ref won't make a call? Compare that to how often you see the girl hit the ground and she's back up in an instant and playing on? Oh, and how often would you see something like the Korean goalie, who broke her collarbone in the match v France... and played through it? Maybe in hockey, not in footie.

Clint Dempsey in just this last WC. Got a boot to the face breaking his nose and was off the pitch only long enough to change his bloody shirt and bung some cotton balls up his nostrils to staunch the bleeding. If it weren't for the rules about bleeding on the pitch I'm sure he wouldn't have even bothered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
