    Great first half; bullsh-t second half. Better team won and possibly deserved it. If we'd played this way against France I don't think we would have won.

      Alyssa Naeher with the first ever save by an American Keeper in a World Cup on a PK.

      England become the first team to miss three PKs in a single World Cup.

        Because of course they were. Missing 3 PKs should replace the three lions on their shield. The Sun's gonna have fun with this one.

          I thought the US played much better against ENG than FRA.

            Once we calm down about this, somebody with EPL chops please tell me how I should feel about my newly adopted club's acquisitions.

              I’m honestly surprised it was that close. England are not a semifinal team to be honest.

                I didn't. I thought FRA played fantastic defense so while we didn't have our wide open game we still had to (and did) play perfectly to beat them. Conversely I thought the USA let ENG have a crapton of A+ chances. We could easily have surrendered 4 today. This could have gotten out of hand; the FRA game couldn't -- we locked that down.

                  It's tough to tell but there was definitely contact from behind on a very good scoring chance. I don't really buy the leg backswing initiating the contact because there wasn't gonna be a huge leg swing on a tap in and you can see the US player lunging forward into her with her knee (obviously she's trying to get back in the play so the contact isn't necessarily intentional but it doesn't really matter).

                      That’s a penalty, Sauerbraun essentially runs into her. Granted, it’s not one you’d call live but with VAR it’s definitely a PK.

                      Could of been a red as well, I don’t think Sauerbraun makes an attempt to play the ball but there’s no way that’s getting called.

                            Every time Mexico gets in a bind in the Gold Cup they get bailed out by a PK.

                            CONCACAF needs VAR desperately.

                              Just saw it, and as an anti-authoritarian, that was tea all the way. I think you really have to be looking for something or being anti-USA to see the "toking" aspect of the celebration.
                              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                                I thought it was smoking a joint but I also live in a place where that’s far more common.
