Nah, I think they’re right. She should celebrate her first ever World Cup goal next time she does it. 

Actually I think the first rule of soccer is that you aren’t supposed to use your hands

Celebrate every damn goal, may be the only WWC goal you ever score.

I mean, it’s not like the Thai women’s national football team ever humiliated an opponent by 13 goals to nil. Oh wait—they did? Against Indonesia? On May 27, 2018? In a friendly?

1) Having been on the wrong end of some really bad soccer blowouts, it’s more insulting when the other team starts clowning around and and not trying. Going easy is much more disrespectful to the game and to your opponent.

And you certainly don’t run up the score by 13 goals against a team who’s ranked 40 spots below you

Scoring in a World Cup is personal as much as it is for the benefit of the team. Mallory Pugh scored the eleventh goal, and it was her first ever goal in a World Cup (in her first World Cup game). Alex Morgan tied a USWNT record. It’s always a big deal to score in a World Cup, and these players are allowed to…

To be fair, goal differential is a thing at the World Cup, and the USWNT have every reason to expect the Thai to be wrecked at least once more in group play. Also, many would argue that respect for the opponent is best shown by playing full-bore to the whistle, that taking their foot off the gas and playing keep-away…

It’s the World Cup. Goal differential matters, especially in your opening match when you don’t know what will happen with the remainder of the group stage.

Don’t hurt yourself with that reach, king.

No need to pad the score against the Thai. 

Hawaii to do list:

I hope Seth doesn’t look at this at Steph being responsible for one third of the GW total points, but rather Seth being responsible for one twentieth of the Blazers points. Doesn’t that sound like a much nicer comparison?

I did find him relatable during Fergie’s National Anthem performance.

Also, that picture is an all-NBA best and will be meme’d for the rest of eternity as it rightfully should.

That was some horseshit NBA JAM eat-your-money cheating-AI shenanigans of a shot... And it was fucking AWESOME

Sure a boat’s a boat, but the mystery box could be anything — it could even be a boat! And you know how much I’ve wanted a boat!

Thumbs into the eyes works too - I blinded my attempted rapist 20 years ago when I was just 19 - he was focused only on pinning my body and forgot about my hands .. I didn’t make the mistake of trying to punch him in the head because that would’ve forced him to protect his head.. first thing I did without hesitation…
