Get fucked US, sorry but they deserved to get knocked out

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ngl I was worried our shootout would end up like theirs, KdB set the tone though.

All that work paid off for us.

Look, the US was way too cocky, was playing like an empty shell, not everyone is afraid of this team anymore. If anything the past few tournaments leading up to this they weren't playing sharply and scraped by. This was coming. Rapinoe should not have been called up, I honestly feel bad for the younger up and coming players who lost a slot to washed veterans just because they can still sell merch... US has a few new talents, they really need to rebuild.

If anything Sweden underestimated them and got cocky, the US played decently the first half of this game and really had Sweden struggling.

@Astrealix nice to see another #arsenal alumni score. The first half of the Netherlands - South Africa game has been a lot of fun for a neutral.

also interestingly i think my comments from sdf didn't make it to world lol, lemmy is still buggy on federation huh. Granted world was down which was why I went to comment via sdf but still XD it makes it to other instances, just not world itself. weird.

@Astrealix it's been pointed out to me that penalty shootouts don't count towards the golden boot tally 😞​

Ilestedt didn't hit one anyway so wouldn't've mattered ahha

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sweden looking better this half

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Hurting looking to come on, hope she can show more of why we signed her

Fran Kirby is on commentary for ITV. That's depressing lol, should have been in the squad :p

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Unfortunate that the US and Sweden can't both go out here :p

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Cmon Sweden, knock out the USA

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

US looks alright, better than usual, but Sweden still looks better

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

the US looks like they're back to where they usually are lol, this might be tougher than expected for Sweden
