This. Pretty much every major media outlet outside the US was criticizing their behavior. Meanwhile in America, it’s all “Hell yeah” like drubbing an amateur side by 13 goals in a group stage match is worthy of the full Brandi Chastain treatment.

I like this story because in a way it’s uniquely American. It’s about sporting excellence, pride in your accomplishments and not even pretending to understand the concept of moderation.

We should follow the Thai approach and just be like “Phuket.”

They are talking about celebrations, not the goal number.

I’m not one to blow much of a gasket one way or another here but as other people have said, it’s about the celebrations not the score running. Obviously in, say, hockey Canada plays a lot of countries with less developed programs and the score gets run up but its fair to say that there is at least something in the…

You do realize that is not what the panel was criticizing. Their comments were about the celebrations, not the score.

Keep scoring.  Stop celebrating wildly. 

Yeah, I have zero problems with them scoring 13 goals. a) Goal differential matters here, and b) they’re in the midst of having to prove why they should be making more money than they currently are, and this is exactly how you do that.

Rapinoe especially needed to tone it down a touch

I’m okay with them scoring a pile of goals. Celebrating those goals with more than a fist bump after about 5-0 just means you’re a bit of a dick.

That 2012 Olympics match is still fucking horseshit.

I’m sure they will find a way to call a stupid call against our goalie again...

They updated the picture after the article went live.

If you insist on calling our women “Leaf Girls” I am going to start calling your team the “New England Patriots”.

Sinclair will overtake Wambach in this tournament—especially with all these handball PKs—and Canada will likely make the quarterfinals, but their most promising talent is still a little young (Fleming and Huitema). I don’t know why it is but they’re a much better team at the Olympics.

Maybe show a picture of Christine Sinclair?

Tom, I don’t follow ufc at all, but that seemed downright disrespectful. How can she molly whop her in the head with a foot like that? I would be upset

GIVE YER BALLS A TUG TIT FUCKER!

We need to figure out a way to summon Artdecider to Kinja.

Even Boston fans hate Boston fans.
