[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you score a goal in a World Cup, then you can tell someone else not to celebrate. Did you also complain when Germany hammered Brazil 8-0, or was that okay because it was the men? Or because it was against a traditional powerhouse?[/quote]

Germany was up 5-0 at half and won 7-1 vs Brazil. US up 3-0 at half and win 13-0. Don't see a difference? Germany kept playing, but understood what mattered is maintaining and improving their quality of play. US women play checkers; Germany's men play chess.[/quote]

So, here's a serious question - what would you have them do?   Non-starters were put in, to the limit soccer permits.  The rules don't allow for the entire starting 11 to be replaced with lesser players, and even if they did, the US reserves are markedly better than the Thai first string.  Should they just not shoot? Just passing around the ball isn't going to improve the quality of the US team's play; if anything, it's detrimental because the talent gap is so large.  [/quote]

It isn’t about the goals being scored it is about the excessive celebration. After about 6 act like you’ve been there before. Nobody is suggesting they take their foot off the gas but clearly Thailand is not very good so why all the celebrations in freaking Group Stage? The defending World Cup Champions acting like they just won World Cup again. It’s just Group Stage!![/quote]

So let me get this right, you train your tail off your entire life, make it through the politics, training, sweat and tears and get a roster spot on the USWNT.  Then you take the field in the world's biggest tournament, and that player is NOT supposed to celebrate when they get a goal?  Really.

I'd celebrate every second.  If Thailand didn't like it, then play some Def.

This is the world cup, not some qualifier.  Not the USWNT fault for being better and they should be allowed to celebrate all the hard work they have put in when scoring.[/quote]
