Netherlands looking dead tired.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Meh 1st halves. Total and complete domination in the final 25 minutes. Dutch have no answer to this high press football.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Hey, a cohesive looking attack. Only took 80 minutes.

 

[Tryamw]

where are the US subs?

Hey, a cohesive looking attack. Only took 80 minutes.

And then Rodman squanders it when she had Lavelle wide open in the top of the box.

 

[NyQuil]

where are the US subs?

Norfolk, Virginia.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

That was a really stupid foul.

 

[Tryamw]

Norfolk, Virginia.

You'd think we'd have more then 1 near Australia

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

where are the US subs?

Rapinoe will be on to overshoot her crosses any minute now.

 

[Tryamw]

Nice football tackle.. (American football)

 

[Savant]

Sullivan is clearly not on the same level as the rest of the US team. This team badly misses Sam Mewis

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

The PBP said he could take 50 more minutes of this?

This is some lousy football. Dutch look tired and slow. Americans look like a collection of players meeting each other for the first time.

 

[red devil]

Is the Dutch player wearing a swimming cap?

 

[Tryamw]

ends 1 -1

 

[NyQuil]

Is the Dutch player wearing a swimming cap?

I assume her scalp is bleeding from the head to head contact.

Probably easier than bandaging it up

 

[GKJ]

That was quite the physical game. Some really not good passing at the end here.

 

[Tryamw]

So USA 1 Goal 1 card and used 1 Sub... /hmms

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Is the Dutch player wearing a swimming cap?

Goes well with Edgar Davids goggles.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Good changes by the US coach. Dutch were having their way through the middle in the first half. Buttoned that up in the second half and the US took over.

US is either very fast or the Dutch are pretty damn slow.

Guess a draw is a fair result, don't think either side will be happy with it though.

Really puzzled at the lack of subs, Rodman and Smith weren't really effective as they should've been. Could've easily subbed on Williams, Rapinoe or Thompson just to at least get some fresh legs and a different look.

Good change as halftime to press higher up the field and prevent the Dutch from getting their offense started.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Yeah Rodman in particular had a real rough second half.

 

[Jussi]

Nigeria lead Australia 2-1. The goal scorer took a UFC kick to her stomach while scoring (completely accidental).

 

[John Price]

Nigeria score again! 3:1 now!

 

[Savant]

Shame for Australia that Sam Kerr got hurt at the worst possible time

 

[GQS]

Men or women the reason why I don't watch much soccer outside the World Cups is because of all the fake/pretend injuries. How would any of these athletes last even 5 minutes in an NHL game?
