They had a better striker/midfielder than the rest of the pack as well. Going to penalties maybe what should have happened in the end but I had fewer doubts that they were the best team at that tournament than the one in Vancouver. I still think you'll are going to win it unless by some change of fortune things just spiral out of control which I can't see happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a distinct history with England for obvious reasons, and so here celebration what drinking tea...to far....eh, maybe for snowflakes, but if you finding someone drinking tea as being offensive, you might be wound too tight. Disgusting woman? Please explain, and she isn't much of a diver, but has constantly gotten pelted all tournament long. She doesn't roll and roll and roll around screaming for a penalty, no, she goes down after getting hit in the head in the box, after getting a stiff hand to the face, after getting cleats straight into the shin which lead to a red card. But please, tell me how she 'cheats'. I think we are a bit boring at time given to amount of talent we have...and I think some people are upset with some of our players not singing the national anthem, but I'm not sure how this team can be seen as truly unlikable UNLESS you are just going to point out the fact that we scored 17 goals against a really poor Thai team and celebrated each goal.

You're taking this way too seriously. Alex Morgan is a cheat though. That part is true. Fouling a player by holding them back and then falling like a turd.

Hide contents Hide contents Ha - all players embellish plays to get the call, it's no different with Alex Morgan than it is with Messi, Ronaldo, and anyone else player ATM. Name me a player who has played more than 5 years, and I'll find you a video of him/her embellishing a call. The real crimes are when players 'over' do it to where it's ridiculous....just like Neymar, the king of being ridiculous and as you put it, being a 'turd'.

I wouldn't mind them taking a tumble in the final to be honest, fair enough they have been good enough to get there but the way they have behaved sometimes with their over the top celebrations like against Thailand left a lot to be desired... that has hardly endeared me to their cause and I am sure I am not the only one who feels like that...

Because they have this unreal arrogance about them. They're basically the exact opposite of the US Mens team, who are humble and likeable (granted, they're not the best team in mens world football, while the US womens team is). Like I'm astounded that Rapinoe is so unlikeable that even while the orange moron who sits in the Oval Office is tweeting that she's gotten under his skin (which is, quite frankly, hilarious), even I can't get on board with her. With mens football, you don't even see the traditionally great sides like Germany, Brazil, France, Italy talk about themselves with the same sort of arrogance that the US womens team does. Especially in the middle of a World Cup. I think a lot of British people living in the UK feel the same way about the 2 US national teams - we've got a lot of time and respect for the US Mens team. We think the US womens team are insufferable. And celebrating each goal after the 5th or 6th goal against Thailand like they were crucial goals I think really cemented that. But I wonder if the US mens team would adopt a similar attitude if they were actually a good side that could contend for the World Cup? I hope they wouldn't, as it's incredibly off putting.

I can see how people were put off by the goal celebrations, but I guess I don't read the news or tabloids enough because I keep seeing us console the team after losing, in particular Morgan going to the lady who missed the PK at the end of the match. Do I think they are arrogant? Sure, but they have been the most dominant team the past decade in a global sport. I would say the same goes for Barca, Man City, PSG, Real Madrid, and other teams that absolutely dominated for a period of time. I have no issue with a little arrogance based off your performance that you have worked your whole life for. The Thai celebrations were a bit much, but I've addressed that already, as this World Cup would so built up, and we were the last team to play in the first round, and emotions probably got the best of them. Are they player supposed to remain quiet when they are asked how they will celebrate or if they will go to the WH IF they win? No, they aren't bringing it up. It's like when people say that Alabama football, and New England Patriots are 'cocky' and 'arrogant'. No, they are just better than the competition and have been for a long time, and so all that is based on them killing their competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
