Women's World Cup Thread

  Anyone just see the us get jobbed by the ref twice to give Brazil their only gone so far. A call like that should call for the ref to lose their ability to officate games ever again. FIFA will do nothing because the world hates to see the US do good in their sport.

  This is BAD. I feel bad for the USA soccer players.
• sportchampps

  If USA loses I hope Hope Solo knocks the ref the F out.
• sportchampps

  The red card was terriable to b/c the minute Marta put the ball in the air over the two defenders heads she no longer has possession and therefore it can not be a goal scoring oppertunity by rule. Also for the non soccer fans watching this Hope Solo is allowed to move side to side on the goal line just not go forward on the PK.

  Who watches soccer you gheys. Just had to say that before it got said. Yes, I am watching and it was the absolute worst call I have ever seen in a soccer game. The red itself was bullshit, it shouldn't have even been a foul, let alone a red. THEN, when Hope Solo makes the save of her tournament they say she came off her line, which she clearly didn't, especially with the 2-3 steps off the men usually take. If Brazil scores another, I hope Hope Solo goes out and spikes the ref directly in the face.

  Ridiculous. It will take a miracle for the US to take this to PKs. Love that the crowd is booing Marta like crazy though.

  I think most casual fans realize the total horse shit that was that call. Unbelievable.
  
  
  
  Also...Hope Solo is freakin' hot

  That .gif clearly shows here only going sideways and not taking a step out.
• gorocks99

  

  I'd hit it.
• sportchampps

  Another complete bs yellow card.
• sportchampps

  lol at the announcers
• raiderbuck

  wtf is going on now?
• sportchampps

  That was a water break for the very tired Brazil team b/c they are not allowed to lose
• iclfan2

  

  Booing Marta every time she touches it. Awesome.
• raiderbuck

  Point blank range...in the tatas, that's gotta sting a bit
• Fab1b

  

  Refs keep Brazil in it, US might need to hold out for pk's!
• sportchampps

  The pk was for encrochment which is called about .0000000001% of the time.
• iclfan2

  

  Oooh so they called it on the person with a foot in the box, still utter BS.
• like_that

  

  I will just say it. Hope Solo is pretty sexy.
  
  That was a bullshit call though. The fact there was even a PK was a joke too.
• sportchampps

  Hope Solo is sexy as hell.
• dazedconfused

  

  so if it's for encroachment, why did hope solo get a yellow card?
  
  also, she's ****** hot
