Imagine if a man celebrated the way Rapinoe celebrated even if the score was 5-0.

I would likely bet a red card would come out shortly after as well as a stretcher.
 
What do we tell our kids, what do you hear others tell their kids. Play the full 90 minutes. Play like every game is the Finals. It was only 3-0 at the half. Yet somehow the VAR officials missed 2 obvious calls ( not sure VAR is any better, but only time will tell). Thailand could have stopped attacking altogether and focused on D. So why not celebrate at the biggest stage, I agree a more subdued celebration than Rapinoe ( I don't much care for her anyways). Once I heard the record was 11 and they tied. Why not try and break it. Put it in the record books, for posterity reasons. Really if you can't play your best at the highest stage, then when can you?
 
Some of the celebrations were excessive, particularly for players who have been there before.

Then again, Barry Sanders was one of my favorite players, and I tell my own children not to act like they just scored a goal in the World Cup, so I am neither objective in my view nor consistent in my analogies.
 
it seemed like when i was watching the games everyone was talking about how exciting the celebrations are and how its great to see the joy in the players until it came to the American's doing it. Im not a fan of celebrating but its the world cup and it only happens every 4 years. lets not forget how it went for the Atlanta Falcons when they let up in the super bowl with a 28-3 lead.

That kind of joke isn't funny. We live in a country where many minority groups are marginalized. Women although the actual majority are part of that marginalized group. Something so silly as not wearing makeup and your commentary on it is disgusting. My mom and my wife don't wear makeup regularly and both are extremely successful. Why would it matter if a woman, let alone a powerful and successful one, wear makeup?

You need to stick to the kitchen and lay off the soccer commentary. You don't seem to like it and it clearly isn't your forte.

You are part of the problem with America. I pray that your daughter doesn't get treated to way you hope that other people's daughters are treated.....

He is establishing himself as the local fashion critic. Doesn't have much else.

The celebrations were "lame"......................according to my unbiased 10-year-old kid.

Now I get it. I knew that there was a reason that I liked you other than your on point commentary. Barry Sanders played the game how it was meant to be played. With passion AND professionalism.
 
Interesting moment (Germany - Spain) - referee did a one-sided drop ball, even signaling the opponent not to contest it.
