The view from Canada they were not impressed and didn’t spare words :

those damn Canadians, who do they think they are!!?? I still don't have a problem with the celebrations. Would I have done it? No. Would I scold my kids for doing so. Absolutely. Most youth games I see, the parents and kids stop celebrating goals after the GD gets to 5 or 6. But, this is the WC and these women are under tremendous pressure to perform as a team and individually. Not like any of them are going back to Computer Science jobs after these games (unlike the Norway goalie, btw).
Rapinoe has a BIG personality, and is clueless sometimes with her off-the-field judgment (she does not have a reliable filter). It's part of the reason she is not as marketable as other players. Morgan should know better and her sponsors will likely give her a little "advice".
As for the games, Norway did not disappoint. Their midfield is fantastic and broke the French press many times. To think they have the best player in the World -- a striker nonetheless -- sitting at home is both unfortunate and a big relief to every other country side.
Speaking of strikers, Spain needs one and until they find one, are not a threat to the U.S., France, Canada, or any other top team.
MAP's Netherlands are a fun team to watch...Martens was her usual tricky self, Miedema is always dangerous but something is missing there. Haven't quite put my finger on it. The winger with the "cheetah" hairstyle didn't show up vs. NZ---maybe kharma for trying to be too individualistic or too focused on her look?
I don't see a side without a strong 9 beating the U.S. That leaves France (50% chance), Netherlands (20% chance), Australia (20% chance), Canada (10% chance), and Brazil (3% chance).
