..All you did was describe trying..And there was a purpose to score more goals. Get over it.

Give me a break. What the fuck were they supposed to do? Not try? They would have gotten shit for that too. If they were making hard tackles and using their larger size and physicality to hurt the Thai players, sure, that’d be dickish, but just playing well. Spare me.

Wait. Is pantomiming drinking tea the national symbol of England?

guess you never heard of the time when some rebellious boston people (FAHK YOU THAT’S WHY) threw all the tea into the harbor.  

How are the Cardinals doing this year? 

Jesus, this is some St. Louis Cardinals smarm. 

Really?! That’s your thought process? A supremely talented athlete celebrating her efforts is the same as official state business. Maybe if she opens some brown people concentration camps, you’ll be in the same neighborhood as a legitimate point.

I came hear to say just this. I don’t think any serious person has a problem with celebrations. But there’s an Ugly American vibe to this particular team that they could tone down a bit.

the Double Eagle is referencing a current conflict between two nations that hate each other and is something that can induce violence. The tea thing, not so much.

+1 reminder of Deadspin days of yore

Some of the highest-profile US players are assholes, and apparently that makes lots of people happy. That’s fine, it’s more or less in keeping with American stereotypes (nothing makes an American happier than being powerful enough to act like an asshole), but don’t pretend it’s something different. I mean you yourself …

I’ve been fine with the goofs so far but I would caution the team that in the event of a goal against the Netherlands they should be careful with any finger in the dike celebrations

I don’t think anyone truly believes that we disrespect the game or disrespect our opponents. We have the utmost respect for England and every team that we face.

I think it’s mostly that, plus some sour grapes, and a little bit of general British stuffiness.  

let the country who didnt invent hooliganism throw the first cup of tea.

I made the mistake of going to the comments under a tweet about her White House visit comments. It was predictably bad, but I did discover a good term for all the flag-humpers and anthem worshipers...

Just double checking, but this is like 40000% sexism/not fitting into perceived gender roles right? Asking for a friend.

The child was brutalized ON CAMERA and the parents had to get social workers to advocate for charges?? And they claimed that there's equity in law enforcement. Bullshit. Let this have been a Black or Latino man pinning a white child down like this. He would've been executed swiftly by the police upon their arrival.

A grown man attacks a 13 year old boy and cops are like “Well I don’t see a crime here.”
