HAPPY PRIDE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!

OH GOD SHE ACTUALLY BENCHED HORAN BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO

oh god I’m not sure my heart can take that

Lol I actually did think White had dummied on purpose until I noticed her swinging away on the replay. definitely lucky for England that she missed and Scott connected.

I gave up even paying half-attention after the third goal.

I was/ kind of still am expecting them to pull either Liu, Barrymore, or Diaz on the voice cameo for Charlie.

And the worst thing is that it robbed us of 30 minutes’ bonus football in an otherwise fantastic game.

yeah, I and the announcers on the FS1 feed both noticed she wasn’t chasing her own turnovers fairly early. they also said Italy had only used 14 of their field players coming into the game, so they might be hitting a depth issue. they really need to avoid OT.

IMO it’s worth a cautionary vibe on the Ascendant Europe narrative that they’re playing home-ish games against off-continent teams. All the non-England (and maybe even England for now? I lost track of Brexit) ones are EU nations that have a way easier time traveling to games. Like if NED-JPN rematch at the Olympics…

omg, the Italian defense made so many good tackles today. Gama had some, Linari just stood a bitch up at full speed, loads of good clearances.

Delphine from Orphan Black. Once she’s with Cosima we never, ever see her consider anyone else.

I think that’s reading way too much into a small sample and not enough to the longer sample of players’ skills. Like if the Brewers asked Travis Shaw to pinch-hit when Christian Yelich was available because the pitcher happened to strike Yelich out last time.

I can believe people will say that but it’s an absolutely insane rationalization for a decision about the potential game-tying goal 80' into an elimination game at the World Cup.

The penalty was surprisingly well-placed. Close to the ground, close to the post. Lindahl might’ve read her hips or probably just guessed the right direction.

oh my god, that has to suck for Beckie. they gave it to the one player who can’t hit the broad side of a barn! they’re lucky she even put the PK on frame! they set her up to fail harder than Naeher set Becky up to fail earlier today.

I laughed in disbelief when they actually chose Beckie for the penalty and haven’t really stopped since.

look on the bright side: “give Janine Beckie the penalty” isn’t even in Jill’s set of options!

It’s not just about the degree anymore. She’s spent like 18 years comparing herself to everybody else in Monterey, identifying as a housewife in contrast to the generally more-educated working moms (like Renata). Now it’s about the self-image and feelings of inadequacy and regret she’s built up all these years.

probably Dahlkemper, though she had some nice clearances today.
