[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two issues here.

1. Scoring goals (yes, it's ok!  we need them for the goal differential).  For those who don't understand why, use google.

2.  Being total assholes about scoring goals after we were up 9-0 or so.  ([b]for those that don't understand sportsmanship, please see my daughters 2nd grade soccer team[/b], they will explain it to you).[/quote]

This is the problem with America.  Raising kids that everyone is a winner and losing is bad. Or if you lose, it can't be by too much, that is just rude.  No, it isn't.  You don't want to lose, work harder. You want to beat the team/person/opponent, work harder. You don't want them scoring so much, play some damn Def and work harder.

Sports and attitude towards sports is a reflection of how hard you work in life. It's not how many times you get knocked down, it is how many times you get back up.

People lose, there is always someone better in something. The kid won't get every job, get every love interest, college desired...kids need to learn to lose.  Then PICK YOURSELF UP and WORK HARDER!!!!![/quote]

Because she's earned it, just like every other lady on the squad.  Years of hard work, injury recovery, pain, sweat, tears, etc. Every one of them has every right to celebrate their achievements. It isn't their fault Thailand wasn't good.  They didn't choose the opponent. They shouldn't have to lay up after all the work they've put in.  Unfortunately for Thailand, they got a tough draw.

You want class...see right after the match. Every US player knew it sucked to be Thailand, and every one was genuinely talking to the Thai players and consoling them.  CLASS!!

The USWNT represented themselves with excellence and class last night![/quote]

They played great, they did not demonstrate class. [/quote]
