[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Maybe you should learn a bit about the game. Not everyone on the team HAD been there before. To score your first World Cup goal is amazing. Period. It's a lifetime's work.

But I'm sure you'll tell us who is allowed to celebrate which accomplishments and when. Since it's not ok for young American women to celebrate their first World Cup goals, who exactly is it ok for? [/quote]

It was Group Stage against Thailand. Please. [/quote]

It was the World Cup. Making the team is huge. Making it into the group stage is huge. Making a goal is huge. Many kids put their entire lives into this and don't even make it to this point. Most of us have nothing in our lives to compare. This is a tremendous life accomplishment, well worthy of excitement, and celebration.[/quote]

And when the game is in hand celebrate as if it is. Continue to score but be more mature. Stop. It was embarrassing how they acted not how they played. [/quote]

So Mallory Pugh making her very first World Cup goal in her very first World Cup should've just turned away and lined back up ready to play again. She doesn't get to be supported and congratulated by her teammates, because there's more than a 2? 3? goal difference? When do they have to stop celebrating their teammates on a long sought, hard fought accomplishment, exactly?[/quote]

Drama.  She's scored in an Olympics and in other international games.  Also, it was 11-0 or something at the point...so yeah, over celebration was not warranted.  Mallory is an experienced international player.  She knows that it should have been a quick cheer and going back to center.

I hope you never celebrate things in your life, since you've had other accomplishments and know you're going to do well. Celebrating is just rude.

I will never reach anything like the World Cup in my life. You better believe if I did, I would celebrate my first goal there, knowing it wasn't something that might have ever happened and might never happen again for me.[/quote]
