World Soccer XXIX: Pro/Rel USA! just kidding!

Re: World Soccer XXIX: Pro/Rel USA! just kidding!

Vicky Losada will have quite the shiner after that accidental kick to the head. Ouch.

Rapinoe misses a mini break. Still 1-1.
 
That was a disgusting turnover. 1-1 in the 10th minute.

Just saw the highlight. I don’t understand any of that. She had two Spaniards around her, even if you misjudge how close they are it wasn’t a good spot for that pass. Either boot it or pass it to the right to the two uncovered Americans.

Yeah, that was an unbelievable boneheaded play by the goalie. And she had plenty of time to decide what to do with it. It's almost as if she was so focused on picking the worse option...

1-1 at the break. I think Spain has had the better of play so far.

Dunno about that, I'd give us the slight edge, but we're not going to be given the same goals we were against weaker opponents. And I suppose I'd rather the opponent goal be due to a dumb play on our end (which we can control) than a good play on their end (which is harder to control).

Any time you feel like handing out a yellow for all these hard fouls, ref...

Good chance for Heath.

Jesus ref..
 
Re: World Soccer XXIX: Pro/Rel USA! just kidding!

Do the Spanish players have to draw blood before they get a card?
 
Re: World Soccer XXIX: Pro/Rel USA! just kidding!

After everything she calls a penalty for that? Wow.

Now going to VAR.

If you have to look at VAR this long it isn't "clear and obvious"

After VAR the penalty is confirmed.

Morgan was set to take the penalty before VAR. After VAR Rapinoe takes it instead.

2-1 US 76'

Wow that was a weak PK called if it stands.

PEN stands.

I'm 50/50. Some angles it looks like definite contact, on others not so much so hard to overturn.

By the letter it was a penalty but I've seen a lot worse not get called. OTOH, Spain has gotten away with chippy crap all over the pitch this half.

That wasn't a foul for contact on Naeher but it was a foul yesterday when the French did it
 
Re: World Soccer XXIX: Pro/Rel USA! just kidding!

Accusing the refs is the last refuge of the frustrated. It's been a rough game. Spain's doing what it needs to keep even with a better squad. Let's not call the wahmbulance until we've lost.
 
Re: World Soccer XXIX: Pro/Rel USA! just kidding!

This is new. Time wasting tactics by the losing side...

That's the last ESP sub. US still hasn't substituted. 84th minute

Are you watching?

The referee finally produces a yellow after 14 fouls.

Carli Lloyd is the first US sub. Alex Morgan is off without scoring today.
 
Re: World Soccer XXIX: Pro/Rel USA! just kidding!

Tobin Heath running like the game just started.

Horan in for Lavelle.

89'

Corner for US
