This WC is looking like it will be decided by fouls and handballs in the box, unfortunately. The 3 favorites - France, US and Netherlands all played poorly this round and were saved by the whistle. Maybe the answer is if it's not a deliberate/intentional handling in the box then it's an indirect kick, not a PK?

Japan was brilliant. A post and crossbar away from advancing.

If France loses Friday they are out of WC and the Olympics next year! Ooof. Talk about high stakes. As many have said, I think the homefield advantage may actually work against them. USA 2-1. 3-1 if Lloyd starts over Morgan :)

Japan was not brilliant and the Japanese way of doing things has been proven to be an epic failure. Japan has gotten worse in two straight world cups. This time around they got smoked by England, couldn't get past a weak Argentina and struggled against Scotland, all before crashing out in the round of 16. I don't believe they've beaten the US in nine years. You are confusing pretty soccer with effective soccer. You probably think Jessie Fleming is the greatest player ever, since she'd fit right in with Japan's merry band of circus jugglers who routinely get pushed off the ball and can't effectively defend bigger, stronger and faster opponents.

Rapinoe....on queue..."i'm not going to the fucking white house." she was asked by the reporter, but a better answer would have been "let's win and then worry about that stuff."

I heard that was recorded in January.
If she cleaned up her language, I would 1,000,000% support her. I don't see the need for her to drop the f bomb there. But I've heard plenty of male athletes use much worse language. So, I still support her.
Plenty of high profile athletes have not wanted to meet President's in the past. https://theweek.com/articles/460872/18-athletes-who-refused-visit-white-house
I hope she has a great game on Friday and shuts everybody up.
Mr Trump should probably not really focus on what a single player on a soccer team has to say about him. I'm sure he's got much more important things to worry about.

No doubt that deep down he’ll be rooting for the US to lose so he can talk some crap to Rapinoe. Book it.

You were probably sitting in a pool of your own feces due to your increasingly problematic dementia while you typed that last post. First wipe away the crap that is caked to you before you talk crap about others.

Looks like loser joe found a friend.
 
My friend says there is a “Trump Curse”
for those athletes that say they will not visit the White House after they are crowned champions....
Before they even win...... and then they lose in the playoffs ....this curse better not be true.
 
If USA loses it will be because they lost to the better team that day or the coach was too loyal to some players that should have been pulled earlier or should have not been in the starting lineup...

If the US loses it will be because of our English coach and her converting us to Europe. This is America and we need American solutions that take American culture and values into consideration.

MAP I am not sure what you mean by this post. How is she making us into Euros? What would be different w an American solution ? I don't see it. Maybe you are being sarcastic? Maybe I need some Henny to see it better.
