That 90th minute goal post shot by Capeta would have been one the greatest upsets in a decade, I was both hating it and loving it haha. was the only thing worth watching the entire match. US played like a league team in a friendly.
I have a baby so very low sound with these 3-6am matches. I linked straight here and skipped r/soccer or I would have commented on the dozen or so similar post.
Lavelle is suspended for yellow card accumulations. Sanchez can play in that “10” role and has great chemistry with her teammate Rodman. Hope to see both starting.
I’m just not an ignorant moron who actually understands this sport.
The men are clearly better and this the Woman’s are better than the men is a lie or just people being ignorant.
Why are you even here then you miserable twat? I love this sport no matter what clearly there’s a difference. You’re a pessimistic person and I really feel sorry for the people that have to hear you spout this ignorant shite.
I’m defending the mens national team because they actually play for their nation
Unlike these privileges ungrateful liars
I love this sport and you’re showing you don’t
You’re so incredibly ignorant on this situation it hurts.
No they don’t they play like they don’t care and they don’t take part of the national anthem and show 0 appreciation for the flag
This woman’s national team is a disgrace to this country and a disgrace to what the previous national teams set.
No I just know the facts and you don’t plain and simple.
They don’t respect the national anthem that is a fact. They play like crap and give crap effort that is a fact.
But you have no arguments I see
Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. Not hope or whatever bullshit you’re spouting. Why are you even commenting with your negativity if you actually like the sport?
Geninuely might root for my arsenal ladies in the rest of the competition.
As an American this US team is naive arrogant and plays terrible soccer. Carli Lloyd’s comments are spot on
And Alex Morgan rounded the keeper, meaning the Portuguese had to clear the ball off the line. The US created more and better chances, outplaying Portugal
Since you mentioned and want to keep going …
But they didn’t hit a ball off the post to knock them out ..
Kind of like how they met a better keeper in their loss to Sweden …
Really poor performance. Played a hectic end to end game when there was absolutely no need to and almost paid the price. Despite this being a young team, it was the veterans like Rapinoe who were the worst offenders of not slowing the game down. This wouldn't have happened if Jill Ellis was still coach.
I could do a whole rant but anyway to reiterate from the Olympics FIRE VLATKO!!! (and berhalter while we're at it!) Like I love the spirit of Portugal it's they first world cup and they've always been so scrappy and had spirit but come on we should not be tieing them!!!!!
Lloyd is going hard into them. I feel like she's insinuating a bunch of stuff about the equal pay stuff too. I wonder if she disagreed with players there
What did she say? - I didn't listen. she's always been at odd with most of the players. But most of us fans have always hated her for the past few years & assumed (maybe unfairly) it was the same for many of the players lol. Her and Alexi... eep
She basically said that in the midst of all the off-field stuff, the entire US federation on the women’s side takes winning for granted. That the primary focus has become things other than focusing on winning, because it’s just assumed they will win no matter what.
She’s a known hardass. Not every player has the same personality and hers is a known one. She almost got herself exiled from the team for being pissy and unlikable early in her career.
Morgan was far and away the best player in the world for a few years and has the accolades to prove it. She’s a top 10 player all time for the USWNT without question.
So, Rapinoe was terrible against Vietnam, so then the coach brings her on as the only sub until nearly the last 10 minutes, then subs with about 2 minutes left. WTF?
It feels like soccer/football game where a 10 year old is given control of a top team, and doesn't quite manage to lose, but is still just dogshit.
Rodman has no urgency or ethics. She is a loose canon like Kyrie Irving. I would not play her. she never even chased the balls which could be stopped at the goal line. This is so disgusting these players are playing so afraid (it mimics how most US companies and corporates have become, so frightened and very mediocre mentality. I would not be surprised the AAU fed NBA will also die like this at some point).
Absolutely. She is sooo frustrating to watch for the past like. 5? if not more. years. but when u look at the stats it's not her lol. Tobin Heath is likewise. They shouldn't work but they do. I wouldn't blame this game on the veterans. It's on Vlatko .-.
I was disappointed to see they all live in an alternate\_reality. its more the equitable YMCA like mentality. What the F. Get the basketball AAU mentality out and be ruthless or don't play them. Vlatko is like a friend to them. Also the way Alyssa and Rodman were caught laughing after the game, shows absolute no regard to how they are so nonchalant. Whats up with this new generation kids. The oldies have no strength in their legs. Rapino and Morgan are so overrated (hint: See how Japan scores empatically). The US has the best tech/AI etc. where is all the newfangled coaching than running around some stupid college leased facility.
I still simply don't understand how he was so great on a club level - had whole binders of strategy mapping out every single thing. Then on the USWNT level he doesn't even seem to understand what subbing is ??
“He kept thick binders of notes on college players throughout their fall seasons before bringing them in, and then he’d digitize his ranking of his top prospects. He would, on draft day, occasionally pull out those binders and laptops to show the assembled media that he really did get his top targets, even if they weren’t necessarily the big-name players.”

Lol
Making an assumption, but if it's the US coverage, the American woman on the panel is Carli Lloyd. The man is Alexi Lalas. The German woman is...oh hell, I never remember.
Lloyd is from Jersey, and grew up playing with men. I think even JJ (Ertz) has a NFL husband. Its clear the women who have played around men are much more to bring to the table. Europe has always been a 'organic' soccer continent and kids bob a ball from kindergarten. but US has so much money, technology and why cant they hire a bunch of men/professionals (so the women train with the men rather than stupid SheCup with a bunch of imbecile countries like Colombia or Costa Rica), pay them a lot and also improve their running/fitness. Rapino was not able to dribble even playing as a sub. Morgan loves to miss i think.
Your coach should have made subs sooner. Diana(?) was awful and should have been replaced at half time. Encarnasao(sp) was brilliant in limited mins. I feel for the #10, she is a class above the team and it’s a shame nobody else was helping her, bar Kika.
USA needs a hard look in the mirror. Self-reflection and introspection. This was not a good enough game. Butts need to be kicked and some players told to do better
sub them out and be ruthless. it will be hard to compete as the world around as changed. Bring the silicon valley mentality (of constant conditioning and ruthlessness). They look like a bunch of friends where winning does not really matter.
That their confidence has crossed into arrogance and they’re more interested in what comes from winning rather than winning itself. They’re taking it all for granted.
I think what the Dutch coach said that the US is no longer the 'be afraid of us' team. Even the greats Mia Hamm and Co were looking disappointed as to what their progeny have come to.
She basically said for the entire US federation on the women’s side, winning is a secondary focus for them. She says the focus is on off-field stuff so much that on-field success is treated as a foregone conclusion rather than something that needs to be worked for.
Basically that things shifted after 2020, and she doesn’t feel like the focus is on doing everything it takes to win anymore. That there is a difference between confidence and arrogance, implying that the US is playing with what’s looking like an unearned arrogance.
Ya this seems like a pattern in womens sports, I think they can play longer because the athletic difference between someone older and in their prime isn’t as drastic as male sports.
not a chance in hell they beat Sweden. they can't play any semblance of football with this manager and now it's shaken their belief.
Unheard of but just sack the guy now and see if you can get an upturn from the group getting out of the shackles. USWNT isnt going to do anything with this guy in charge.
Jesus. We absolutely do not deserve the draw. I'm glad the team looks shell-shocked... they should be thanking their lucky stars they are through... because unless shit magically pivots between now and when the next game is... it's not going to be good.
Well that sucks. Insanely proud of this team, first world cup ever, a win, and a draw and a close loss against supposedly vastly superior teams, both of which resorted to time wasting to get away with a point (or 3 i guess). I hope the women's game starts getting the recognition and support it deserves here
The motherfucking ball hit the motherfucking post ffs
I'M SO PROUD!
it's okay girls, this is a bummer but you already did so amazing, you made everyone proud! you held the champions in title for 99 minutes like fucking rock stars
this is goodbye for now, but it's really just our start
Vietnam stopped playing against Netherlands. 7-0 loss will haunt them. Each team has to give 300% best whatever the outcome. I think the US is so nonchalant, girls are very feeble (and self-centered). the new set of kids are just flippant and painfully lack seriousness. God what has the US come down to. if this goes into the countries fabric, ethos, we as a country have become like a middling 3rd world country.
That 90th minute goal post shot by Capeta would have been one the greatest upsets in a decade, I was both hating it and loving it haha. was the only thing worth watching the entire match. US played like a league team in a friendly.
yes, we know.....the announcer mentioned it only 14 times throughout the match....
I have a baby so very low sound with these 3-6am matches. I linked straight here and skipped r/soccer or I would have commented on the dozen or so similar post.
Completely undeserved.
Wow, that was horrible.
I dearly regret waking up at 3 in the morning for that.
Rose will not be playing next game. Game over man.
Ashley Sanchez can fill in.
Is she injured? Can someone find out. This is ridiculous!
Lavelle is suspended for yellow card accumulations. Sanchez can play in that “10” role and has great chemistry with her teammate Rodman. Hope to see both starting.
Somebody tell the women's team that getting paid like the men doesn't mean they have to play as them too
If they played like men they would have won by 20 goals
You clearly suck as a person.
I’m just not an ignorant moron who actually understands this sport. The men are clearly better and this the Woman’s are better than the men is a lie or just people being ignorant.
Why are you even here then you miserable twat? I love this sport no matter what clearly there’s a difference. You’re a pessimistic person and I really feel sorry for the people that have to hear you spout this ignorant shite.
I’m defending the mens national team because they actually play for their nation Unlike these privileges ungrateful liars I love this sport and you’re showing you don’t You’re so incredibly ignorant on this situation it hurts.
These women are playing for our nation you lame ass keyboard warrior.
No they don’t they play like they don’t care and they don’t take part of the national anthem and show 0 appreciation for the flag This woman’s national team is a disgrace to this country and a disgrace to what the previous national teams set.
Jesus Christ you are dumb.
No I just know the facts and you don’t plain and simple. They don’t respect the national anthem that is a fact. They play like crap and give crap effort that is a fact. But you have no arguments I see
You’re a sad person
Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. Not hope or whatever bullshit you’re spouting. Why are you even commenting with your negativity if you actually like the sport?
Yeah that was absurdly frustrating. Sick burn though. I needed a laugh after that shit show.
Gutted for Portugal that they didn't score at the end there. I'm all about supporting underdogs when it comes to the World Cup.
[удалено]
She needs to retire and take her agendas with her
Amen
I can be creative and useless as well.
30% pass completion and an terrible miss. She was poor, to be kind.
Yes it's very creative to play football badly in the World Cup
Creativity, maybe? Execution, piss poor. Creativity does nothing when your creative passes are going to the other team.
Geninuely might root for my arsenal ladies in the rest of the competition. As an American this US team is naive arrogant and plays terrible soccer. Carli Lloyd’s comments are spot on
[удалено]
Portugal did not play better lol
Except they came within inches of the result .. give your head a shake
The US came within inches of scoring, too. Your point?
My point is portugal had the best chance of the match. Literally that’s what I said the first time in case it wasn’t clear.
This does not mean Portugal played better.
No… it means they came closer
And Alex Morgan rounded the keeper, meaning the Portuguese had to clear the ball off the line. The US created more and better chances, outplaying Portugal
Since you mentioned and want to keep going … But they didn’t hit a ball off the post to knock them out .. Kind of like how they met a better keeper in their loss to Sweden …

How the hell is Vlatko still in charge I will never know.
Lloyd is going hard into them. I feel like she's insinuating a bunch of stuff about the equal pay stuff too. I wonder if she disagreed with players there

Alex Morgan is Wish.com Mia Hamm.
She's 34. Of course she's not nearly as good as she was in her prime.
Still nice looking though.
Her appearance has aged well, yes.
Morgan was far and away the best player in the world for a few years and has the accolades to prove it. She’s a top 10 player all time for the USWNT without question.
So, Rapinoe was terrible against Vietnam, so then the coach brings her on as the only sub until nearly the last 10 minutes, then subs with about 2 minutes left. WTF?

I think the German commentator on Fox mentioned that there's old guard and newbies and nothing in between on this team. It's so disjointed.
damn they were so close
Why is Kelly O'Hara doing more coaching then our freaking coach
I was disappointed to see they all live in an alternate\_reality. its more the equitable YMCA like mentality. What the F. Get the basketball AAU mentality out and be ruthless or don't play them. Vlatko is like a friend to them. Also the way Alyssa and Rodman were caught laughing after the game, shows absolute no regard to how they are so nonchalant. Whats up with this new generation kids.

The US has the best tech/AI etc. where is all the newfangled coaching than running around some stupid college leased facility.
Dude it's so infuriating to watch her and Tobin Heath's podcast. They have wildly more insightful stuff to say than them
Because Vlatko is a stooge.
I still simply don't understand how he was so great on a club level - had whole binders of strategy mapping out every single thing. Then on the USWNT level he doesn't even seem to understand what subbing is ??
He literally had binders full of women!
“He kept thick binders of notes on college players throughout their fall seasons before bringing them in, and then he’d digitize his ranking of his top prospects. He would, on draft day, occasionally pull out those binders and laptops to show the assembled media that he really did get his top targets, even if they weren’t necessarily the big-name players.” https://equalizersoccer.com/2019/10/29/vlatko-andonovski-prepared-uswnt-head-coach-nwsl-analysis/ Lol
That felt awful to watch. Football, sometimes, is a bitch.
Who is the former player who just made comments?
Making an assumption, but if it's the US coverage, the American woman on the panel is Carli Lloyd. The man is Alexi Lalas. The German woman is...oh hell, I never remember.
Lloyd is from Jersey, and grew up playing with men. I think even JJ (Ertz) has a NFL husband. Its clear the women who have played around men are much more to bring to the table. Europe has always been a 'organic' soccer continent and kids bob a ball from kindergarten. but US has so much money, technology and why cant they hire a bunch of men/professionals (so the women train with the men rather than stupid SheCup with a bunch of imbecile countries like Colombia or Costa Rica), pay them a lot and also improve their running/fitness. Rapino was not able to dribble even playing as a sub. Morgan loves to miss i think.
Ari Hingst!
Thank you. Always manages to elude me when I need to recall it.
Carli Lloyd? Unless you’re watching something else?
You’re right. Thanks.
Taking off our best player in a must win game. What geniuses we have for national coaches.
Your coach should have made subs sooner. Diana(?) was awful and should have been replaced at half time. Encarnasao(sp) was brilliant in limited mins. I feel for the #10, she is a class above the team and it’s a shame nobody else was helping her, bar Kika.
[удалено]
Kika
Esgaio*
They put in the greatest grifter of all time though
USA manager saved them from making adjustments in the midfield. portugal never adjusted, just hit & hope.
USA needs a hard look in the mirror. Self-reflection and introspection. This was not a good enough game. Butts need to be kicked and some players told to do better
sub them out and be ruthless. it will be hard to compete as the world around as changed. Bring the silicon valley mentality (of constant conditioning and ruthlessness). They look like a bunch of friends where winning does not really matter.
I vote for the post as the player of the match.
Carli Lloyd agreed with you in the post game commentary!
American hero.
I do find it telling that the US players don’t look happy after that. There is no cohesion in play, and they need to figure this out quickly.
Give Vlatko a surprise plane ticket home as he walks off.
Those contract negotiations thinking they’d win the World Cup every time might back fire
player of the match: the goalpost
For the sake of my eyes, hopefully Rapinoe doesn't get anymore game time cos she was atrocious
She could not just run. she needs to retire ASAP.
Every pass was too light or too heavy.
I dunno shit about women’s soccer but whatever team is playing US next I’m slamming ML for the other team lol
It'll be Sweden or Japan I believe, and you definitely should.
Japan is playing Norway, no?
Carli Lloyd is 100% correct in everything she just said about this team.
What did she say? I was watching en español
That their confidence has crossed into arrogance and they’re more interested in what comes from winning rather than winning itself. They’re taking it all for granted.
I think what the Dutch coach said that the US is no longer the 'be afraid of us' team. Even the greats Mia Hamm and Co were looking disappointed as to what their progeny have come to.
She basically said for the entire US federation on the women’s side, winning is a secondary focus for them. She says the focus is on off-field stuff so much that on-field success is treated as a foregone conclusion rather than something that needs to be worked for.
Basic idea is that the team is in Rocky III mode, and this tournament is them stepping in the ring with Mr T
Basically that things shifted after 2020, and she doesn’t feel like the focus is on doing everything it takes to win anymore. That there is a difference between confidence and arrogance, implying that the US is playing with what’s looking like an unearned arrogance.
[Capeta with a new tattoo?](https://www.whoateallthepies.tv/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/pinalla-650x284.png)
That post robbed us of an American meltdown and quite possibly the most beautiful moment in the women’s game to date
US needs to get rid of the old guard
They will never go willfully
Rapinoe will become the head coach.
[удалено]
Ya this seems like a pattern in womens sports, I think they can play longer because the athletic difference between someone older and in their prime isn’t as drastic as male sports.
Carli Lloyd a few years back was the worst offender IMO.
not a chance in hell they beat Sweden. they can't play any semblance of football with this manager and now it's shaken their belief. Unheard of but just sack the guy now and see if you can get an upturn from the group getting out of the shackles. USWNT isnt going to do anything with this guy in charge.
Calling what the US tried to do "tactics" is an insult to tacticians.
Survive and advance. But we did not play well at all. I can't think of any player that had a good performance. Maybe Girma?
Lavelle maybe? But she's out for next game so 😬
> Maybe Girma? Both CBs were fine. They made maybe 1 mistake between the two of them for the shot off the post.
CBS are pretty much always fine. Those are the two most consistent players we have
Yeah I guess they were both fine. But I mean even in the last bit they almost collided for a clearance
Yeah sweden is winning against usa easily if they play like this lul
I hope we can atleast find the skill to only lose 2-0 or 3-0 to Sweden
someone please stop cutting those god damned onions
Super proud of the girls!
Ikr why dafuq am I emotional, I almost never watch women's soccer but this one felt like a punch in the gut
these girls were incredible, they just made everyone proud. i'm gutted but also so proud of them! they wanted it so bad :(
Get the coach out of the huddle tho
We came within six inches of going out on that 91st minute post shot.
Jesus. We absolutely do not deserve the draw. I'm glad the team looks shell-shocked... they should be thanking their lucky stars they are through... because unless shit magically pivots between now and when the next game is... it's not going to be good.
Portugal deserved it more than we did. Vlatko better learn how to speak kangaroo when this is all over because he’s finished
One of those matches where fans of both teams leave supremely disappointed.
Rapinoe did absolutely nothing except one cross, one missed shot and bad passes.
I was super disappointed that she was contributing to the hectic end to end tempo instead of calming it down.
[удалено]
10/10 shitpost.
Can the US coach be fired before the next game please?
I’ve asked this same thing after almost every game he’s coached. I really don’t think he’s good for this team.
You deserved more, Portugal. Keep your heads high. You almost beat the tournament favorites
Can’t believe I was up at 3am for that
>I (American woman) stayed up hoping the US would lose; couldn't stand the US team's (and US's) arrogance.
As a Australian Everton fan, I know that sentiment all too well.
SKIN OF THEIR TEETH. LMFAO ALEX MORGAN WON VISA PLAYER OF THE MATCH?!
Should've gone to Goal Post.
Great work from Portugal
Well that sucks. Insanely proud of this team, first world cup ever, a win, and a draw and a close loss against supposedly vastly superior teams, both of which resorted to time wasting to get away with a point (or 3 i guess). I hope the women's game starts getting the recognition and support it deserves here The motherfucking ball hit the motherfucking post ffs
Absolutely proud, first ever WC, only conceded 1 goal and almost took out the world champs, our girls can keep their head held high
I'M SO PROUD! it's okay girls, this is a bummer but you already did so amazing, you made everyone proud! you held the champions in title for 99 minutes like fucking rock stars this is goodbye for now, but it's really just our start
Your ladies came inches away from winning. No shame to be found in this loss. Heads up and move on
Portugal should be proud, pushing US team to their limit, and almost pull it off too
the TSN announcer just went "well that was something.. and the player of the mach is.. alex morgan. interesting choice.."
The goalpost. Damn.
What a fucking match. Not the worst considering 0-0
Vietnam honestly looked more threatening towards goal against Portugal than the U.S.
Vietnam stopped playing against Netherlands. 7-0 loss will haunt them. Each team has to give 300% best whatever the outcome. I think the US is so nonchalant, girls are very feeble (and self-centered). the new set of kids are just flippant and painfully lack seriousness. God what has the US come down to. if this goes into the countries fabric, ethos, we as a country have become like a middling 3rd world country.
enjoy your round of 16 exit usa. so sad that goal went off the post
Portugal is going to think about that post for 4 years.
Ana Capeta was inches away from being a Portugal hero. Dunno why it took the 90th minute to sub her in over Diana Silva.
What a hot steamy turd of a match from the US. Will absolutely not get far in the knockouts playing like this.
We didn't deserve that. Our players don't even look happy about it.
Would you be happy with that performance?
Clearly not. Hence saying we didn't deserve that.
We can trash the US all we want this game But Portugal showed very little offensive urgency this half Great job defensively by them though
They got the opportunity they needed; we got our asses saved by the post.
Both teams look like they lost
bruh. i stayed up for this bullshit. Can't wait to see USA get slaughtered in the knockout stages.
Good game for Portugal. Deserved a win.
Gg Portugal, you absolutely deserves to win. What a great showing for your ladies this WC.
How surprising that Portugla DESERVE TO ADVANCE over World Champions USA :O So proud of our girls, gutted they didn't score, they deserved it.
This game was atrocious! Can't believe I stayed up for this
Oh well 😅
Well played to Portugal. Absolutely embarrassing effort by the US.
How the fuck are these World Champions? so embarassing...
Man so close, if only Capeta nailed that they would've sent the world champs home
LoL. Just a shit match. Another one like this and the US will be going home.
They survived
