[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The social justice warriors, also known as the no fun club, alway want to debate. They find a victim in every situation and attempt to exploit it until we all surrender.

Half of them are currently sitting inside their Prius crying. [/quote]

If the US needs that goal differential to get out of group stage then I guess they should celebrate them with such unbridled enthusiasm. [/quote]

That's the thing. In the first game, you have no idea. They have to get past Sweden, to whom they lost in the Olympics. And Sweden plays Thailand after the US plays them, so they have no idea how many goals up Sweden would have gone.

It's unlikely they will need that many goals. But if Sweden goes 20-0 against Thailand, you're then saying the US team sucks for dialing it back too far. Expecting teams to see the future is ridiculous. [/quote]

If they need 13 GOALS they are not good. That is the only point and the only takeaway. [/quote]

Or, if they need 13 goals, then Thailand was completely outmatched and good for them for giving it a try.

We won't know until Sweden plays Thailand. Then you might find out that 13 goals was a good number. Or not enough. Or overkill. But since none of us can see into the future, the best our soccer players can do is play as hard as they can, as well as they can.[/quote]

Nobody has criticized the outcome or how they played. They have been criticized for how they ACTED[/quote]

Wrong. Go back and read the thread. Several posts, and presumably posters, have criticized "running up" the score.[/quote]

Not really. That was a tactical decision made by coaching not the players. But at least that is a debatable soccer/tactical discussion. The celebrations are separate from the play and I think the biggest complaint is based pretty much on excessive celebrating well past the game being competitive.[/quote]
