If I had money on ten goals or more I'd be much more furious but those were absolute joke decisions. Can we get VAR working?
― imago, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 19:48 (four years ago) link
Yeah i mean death to the great satan obv, but those were just silly. Of course, it could be that VAR were screaming at the ref to give those pens

I mean...we're not talking Germany-Brazil 2014 or anything but I typed this tweet and sent it:
Can a World Cup referee use VAR to call up the 'stop stop he's already dead' GIF?— Ned Raggett (@NedRaggett) June 11, 2019
And then I looked back on the feed and they scored another goal.
So I came here to comment, and while I was typing this, they scored ANOTHER goal.

let it be known that if usa wins 13-0 they will jinx themselves and lose the cup
― boobie, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 20:49 (four years ago) link
Seriously though, wouldn't a WC with 16 teams make more sense? Bottom tier is cannon fodder, way beyond 'they'll lose but it's a good lesson'.
(13-0)

Lol there was a quip about that from the Fox commentator about the possibility of goal differential coming into play later in the tournament

Damn it, I had £1.50 on 14-0.
fwiw Thailand have beaten local minnows by comparable margins so don’t feel too sorry for them.
― ShariVari, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 20:57 (four years ago) link
Sprinting to keep it in play at 13-0 in the 90th minute. The coach leaping up to pump fists and high five for the 13th goal. Extremely small time

Not feeling sorry for them as much as I'm wondering why (how?) they're here at all. I think USA's display proves how fast women's football is developing. With a fast evolution, the margin between the highest standard and mediocrity is enormous. Germany (men) beat Estonia 8-0 tonight; same diff, but it happened in qualification.
(I put € 1.00 on 15-0 just after half time)

The thirteenth goal was the culmination of about four minutes of exclusively trying to get the ball to their ageing legend and succeeding, tbf

I noticed the scoreline thanks to Ned's tweets at 8-0. I was leaving my desk for a work function and in the time it took me to walk from my desk to the function, they had scored two goals.

omg FIFA don't want it to be ten. It will still be ten
I imagine FIFA will be eyeing viewing figures nervously after this.

for all you fancying australia before this tournament, they needed a 91st minute goal to draw with thailand in the recent asia cup
― imago, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 21:46 (four years ago) link
and even then only won on penalties
― imago, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 21:47 (four years ago) link
seeing players go wild over scoring rout-number goals against obviously inferior opposition is weird but I feel like that's a matter of unspoken etiquette rather than anything more innate, and that you could make an only partway contrarian case for the polite smile and handshake to mark your ninth against minnows being the more arrogant gesture
― Screwfix's favourite disco albums (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 11 June 2019 22:18 (four years ago) link
Yeaahhhhh, I think that's more than partway contrarian tbh.

i liked the old italian football thing of when you were 5 up or so just totally taking the foot of the gas and having an uncompetitive snooze fest for the remainder of the game
― findom haddie (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 11 June 2019 22:44 (four years ago) link
I'm sympathetic to the argument that that you best respect opponents by always competing your hardest, but even i thought the us celebrations were verging on the sociopathic
― Bash Street Kids: Endgame (Bananaman Begins), Tuesday, 11 June 2019 23:53 (four years ago) link
Iirc that italian football thing traditionally kicks in at 1-0 up
Commentator just said that the ref for this Nigeria vs South Korea game actually played for Russia in a previous world cup which is p cool.
― oscar bravo, Wednesday, 12 June 2019 13:04 (four years ago) link
Quite the own goal from Korea there. Shame because they'd started well.
― oscar bravo, Wednesday, 12 June 2019 13:30 (four years ago) link
xp North Korean ref for Cameroon v Canada did likewise
