[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.  (for those that don't understand sportsmanship, please see my daughters 2nd grade soccer team, they will explain it to you).[/quote]

So if your daughter's team was up by 9, and a kid scored her very first goal, NO CELEBRATING!

Right?

That kid should have had better timing and scored her very first goal during the "Celebrations Allowed" period.[/quote]

Well if you think that professional athletes and defending world champions should celebrate the way a 7 year old girl would then you don't understand the difference. [/quote]

Any way that they choose to celebrate is how professional athletes and world champions celebrate, because they are professional athletes and world champions. [/quote]

When a 7 year old girl does leg farts after scoring the 9th goal you will see how dumb it is for her too.[/quote]

So you don't have a problem with the team, you have a problem with Rapinoe. I assume you have a problem with every other world class player who's on the farther end of celebrating, too? You're not just anti-Rapinoe?

Though, since apparently you're using a couple seconds of Rapinoe's behavior to tar an entire team, you might well just be some crazy anti-Rapinoe person.[/quote]

Nope, I have a problem with celebrating "achievement" in such a lopsided game.

I love that Rapinoe stands up for what she believes in. Kneel during the anthem for a just cause? I'm down with that. Not putting her hand on her heart during the anthem to protest a just cause? I'm down with that too. Doing leg farts in a lopsided game against a VERY inferior opponent? I'm not down with that. How did she raise the bar or lift the women's game with that? The game was in hand. There was nothing more to celebrate. [/quote]

How many goals could they be ahead by and still celebrate within the normal range of soccer goal celebrations?[/quote]
