Nothing wrong with winning 13-0 and giving it your all, but running in circles and kicking your legs while laying in the ground is classless and pathetic. You’re world champions.
That’s like France beating Thailand 15-0 and Pogba is dabbing at center half after each goal😂
Lol
The sad part is the vulgar Americans see nothing wrong with it. Read the comments under the youtube highlights & no one even protests their lack of sportswomanship. If I ran the team the coaching staff would be fired just for running the score up on a small country who obviously could not compete.
Exactly. Showed her ass...literally
@@johnmarino5378 screw u...I said it was uncalled for. Vulgar Americans? We hardly get called that. We arent Canadian sweet. But no one would consider us German, French, or ,Czech rude
@@TroyB6911 Yes, vulgar - as in your inability to refrain from using profanity or issuing an insult when protesting my claim.
Would you criticize a men's team for celebrating late goals in a blow out? Yes.
jerman7722 Watch NBA when players almost brawl when the other team tries to score at last minute when the game is already over! Sports is about respect and having a compassion for your opponent.
@@tjlala8717 Clearly 2 things that those women don't have for their opponents.
Baseball players are criticized all the time if they celebrate hitting a home run. Heck, they could get beaned by a ball if they even spend too much time looking at their homerun.
@@tjlala8717 That's the stupidity if what's going on in this world , your supposed to care about your opponent's feelings
@@nerychristian Yeah it didn't stop the blues from celebrateing after , they won the Stanley cup . The Boston players crying etc , the celebration went on
Germany ran up the score against Brazil in 2014. They got to 4 and stopped celebrating.
Germany did not celebrate like that. The women with the pink hair looked like Neymar having a seizure...
Pretty sure they stopped trying after 4. Could have been 10-0 imho
EXACTLY
you are right, Sooo big difference between USA and other countries... typically american arrogance - you see it all the time.
didn't see the 7th goal did you?
Playing hard is not disrespectful. But celebrating like a clown when it's a blowout is basically making a joke of your opponent
Kurt my thoughts exactly
Because of that us women better win the World Cup .otherwise if they lose the amount of heat they will get Will be crazy
@michael lee There are rules regarding celebrations and taunting in soccer. They didn't break the rules, they were just classless.
There opponent was a joke. There adults so if u don't like it then play better. Suck it up butter cup 🇺🇸
@michael lee Funny that a follower of NFL says Soccer is like watching paint dry. While NFL playoffs only average 11-13 minutes of actual play where the ball is in motion, but the games can often take well over 3 hours to complete. It's built around TV commercials and replays.
I just hate the women card is being played, it’s called sportsmanship

"Would you tell a men's team not to celebrate?" Yes. Thank you. NEXT!
i know i know everyone gets a participation medal..................happy now muffin
Lmaoo they act like this men celebrate after scoring more than 5
WRONG. You’re representing the context entirely wrong.
It's weak. It's like celebrating bombing people with no military, and no shoes, and claiming you're a warrior. .. Oh wait.
jayvardy period😂
The American players did go a bit overboard, especially Rapinoe. A lot of arrogance from the veteran players. Scoring high is not the issue here, it's about respecting your opponent.
You found it only a BIT overboard lol? It was completely disrespectful to a team that was already finished off.
The fact that they are considered elite athletes, plus try to act as if it’s different in Men’s soccer to try to justify their behaviour is even more pathetic.
@@yoshiwoollyworld Even if it's a strong side if the score goes beyond 4 its all a no respect. Look at Germany or bayern.
If she was a hockey player she would be laid out (deservingly so)
Scoring high is an issue it’s called respect.when it’s 7-0 how about stop being a hardo
@@RioMtl94 Germany in the World Cup semi-final toned down their celebration after their 4th goal vs Brazil. Belgium showed massive respect to the Japanese team after beating them in the last world cup. These national teams understands respect the US team does not.
Its so obvious it was. There was no problem with the amount of goals but they were over-celebrating the later goals to just rub it in their faces, they didnt have much respect for Thailand.
@Raimo Raymomdinen I know right, it was done just to embarass them even further like the score isn't enough.
@Raimo Raymomdinen Not a good one really. Pretty bad image for the US. It would be funny now if they got instant karma from another team and lose.
@@Subihabsfan it is unsportsmen like. wait their not men. dang it abbey look at what you got me doing.
@@Subihabsfan Go USA but i'm expecting it to happen. Probably by france
Just like the U.S government has no respect for many other countries. It is American Arrogance.
They are all trying to be famous,those celebrations were absolutely classless. And to compare it to a men's team I would say the same thing. You're representing your country...have some integrity..wtf
That's the sad part, its not about representing their country. Rapinoe said recently said she will likely never sing the national anthem again. For Morgan and Rapinoe its pretty clear its all about them - how awesome they are, how much more they should get paid, how much respect they deserve no matter what they do, its embarrassing. I'd rather see us lose honorably than win like that.
Yes, they have been dreaming of this moment for so long, but so has every athlete ever, no matter the sport, no matter the gender. For an example of sportsmanship, is when Frederik Gauthier scored his 1st NHL goal all he did was a little fist bump in the air, that goal made it 5-0, he also was dreaming about the moment for a long time. So that is not an excuse. The cellys were kind of salt on a wound
The opposing team should have tried , they shouldn't have given up so easy .
Celebrate like kawhi
hes a miserable sod. Celebrate like Ryan Oreilly
Yes what till you win the whole thing like kawhi
Exactly. As we all know, he's a fun guy
😐🤖
Would be like a dad showboating after every bucket against his 5 year old kid in basketball.
I have no problem if they score 13 goals, but its classless to celebrate that late in the game especially against a team that's competing for the first time in the world cup.
GamersAddict they have the right to celebrate any way they want!! That’s soccer ! Critics are talking like soy boys
@@suef9288 nothing is more cringeworth than an incel like you pretending to be a girl on the internet.
@@suef9288 You have no idea what the F you are talking about because the Thais thanked the Americans for their advice and coming up to them after the game so...F U!
U never play team sports before r u was always the last one picked score 50 they should have took selfies
Sue F it’s classless and terrible. Sports is about respect for opponents and the USA would soon lose respect if all they do is taunt the hell out of all the other teams.
Remember the Brazil-Germany 1:7 in the Semifinals 2014? Look at the german Team, how they are celebrating the 6:0 and 7:0. They basicly don't. The difference is, that the german Team would have had more reason to celebrate, bescause Brazil was considered to be the better Team and it was a Semifinal. But they kept it down and didn't celebrate excessively. And btw: For Andre Schürrle, who scored goal six and seven, it was also his first WC.
Klose scores record breaking goal and does casual knee slide celebration.
Илья Гостеев LOL Klose scored the 2 Goal
so what?
Илья Гостеев it s a diffrent of you Score the Second goal vs a world class Team or the 9 goal against a semi pro Team
He set new high score record and calmly celebrated it with slide on his knees. That's usual celebration in football nothing over the top like it was in USA-Thai game.
Sexism card dropped really???? This same thing has been debated about mens games for decades would it not be sexist not to talk about it because its women?
Nowadays everything has the gender or race card dropped
My theory is that they neither care nor don’t know anything about men’s sport because they’re not in it... hence Abby’s Twitter comment. just my 2 cents.
they're just stupid as hell.
I remember when the Canadian women hockey team won against Italians at the Torino Olympics 16-0.And then Angela Ruggiero from USA said that Canada should have tone it down. She said we lacked class. Funny how Americans have the right to do everything they want but run their mouth when others are doing the same.
It not about the score, score all you want, the issue is the celebrating of the goals, ( it's common place soccer edict to not celebrate the goals once you've scored 5 to six when the other team doesn't/ can't score.) So when they celebrated each and every goal to the extent that they did, it was quite disrespectful to the opposing team.
@@Danny-the-Canadian I agree that the issue is the celebrations. It's not running up the score, but msanna4 is pointing out the US hypocrisy. Canadian (and other non-US) media outlets are criticizing the US celebrations. With the shoe on the other foot, the US criticizes Canada running up the score against a weaker opponent.
But then again, the US couldn't complain about the celebrations - Canadian women hockey players have class.
JoeL They think they are. The joke is on them!!!
Or when Tessa Bonhomme smoked a cigar and drank a beer after the game, calling it “not classy”... she just won a gold and the other team is gone so let her be happy
@@Danny-the-Canadian high five your teammates then get back in the game
I think I agree with Tim and Sid here, remember when Germany destroyed Brasil and they stopped playing after awhile because it was over! respect for Germany there!
That's right. I had to rewatch the highlights and the celebration doesn't resemble that of the U.S women soccer players
coal epps people pay to watch those games. They deserve a full game
Yup they know a thing or 2 about sportsmanship. Yes you can be happy but no sense in kicking an opponent when they are down
"Would you tell a men's team not to score or celebrate" WTF lol
almost got irreversible brain damage when i read what she wrote lol
After 6 goals yeah
They've obviously never watched baseball. Celebrate like that after hitting a homerun, and be prepared to get hit by a 90 mph fastball next time you come up to bat.
She maybe was drunk when she write that.
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time Race, Gender or Nationality is brought up in an argument COMPLETELY unrelated to the topic being discussed.
Nothing wrong with celebrations but after your lead is like 5+ goals, no real need to celebrate for every goal afterwards just embarrasses the other team more than they already are. You've essentially already won the game so there's no real need to celebrate when you're up by like 10 goals. Quick high fives, short small celebration and then get back to finishing the game off. Have some sportsmanship. You're out there to win yes, but rubbing it into the other teams face is over the top. I'm surprised there is no penalty for Show boating, would be good to keep the game classy if this is how they want to act. Only time to see crazy over the top celebrations in huge game winning goals or milestone goals. I love seeing players celebrate special goals, like the time Ovechkin did the "Hot stick" celly after his 50th of the season. But flopping all over the ground like some fish out of water doesn't even look like a legitimate celebration, looks incredibly forced and hurts to watch.
Lol
If I could like this a million times I would. Very well said.
Yeah but I'm pretty sure the German team in 2014 wasn't flailing on the ground like little children would. It's all about having class and respect for the opponent. Nothing wrong with scoring a ton of goals.
Japan would've whooped Thailand but would be very respectful.
Unlike the US they have refined people in Japan.
@@johnmarino5378 refined racists who hate black people and do blackface.
Luckily, nobody was watching.
there is nothing wrong with celebrating goals, it is the way they celebrated brought the controversy to it
Hug your teammates then get back in position
Wambach playing the sexist card.
Men behaving like that would deserve the exact same criticism
Actually probably much more, because they can't pull the wamen card.
@@MrBank325 just saw Germany vs Estonia highlights. 8-0 for the germans, went at the middle of the video: germans players getting a quick congrats from their partners and zero rub-it-in-your-face done to estonians

Incels unite!
@@tclem14 no
See Amby Wambach's response to the complaints. #beintouch #skipclueless
Exactly
Men's team would have been scrutinized even more. Celebrate, but don't rub it in. First game or not they are expected to be professionals.
Only goal I’d forgive really celebrating is an OT winner
hey wombach, you would never have to tell a mens team not to act like that, it's common sense.
perry roberts you know what’s common sense: spelling Wambach right😂

Alexa Siobhan if she doesn’t respect the game why should we respect her
The Manchester City players stopped celebrating in the FA Cup final after about 4 goals. The captain Vincent Company was a complete gent.
For the people who say “would you hate on the men for celebrating?” it’s because we wouldn’t do it excessively like that - partially for sportsmanship but also because it gives the opponents more of a reason to wanna foul/injure you. Look at the Norwegian U20 soccer team. They beat Honduras’s U20 team 12-0 in the U20 World Cup and didn’t celebrate beyond maybe high fives and group hugs for any goals after 4 or 5. Even their striker who scored 9 goals only really celebrated his hat trick - but even then, his celebration was subdued.
How do you even attempt to defend those antics. You never celebrate after it is 4-0. Furthermore, the damn feminist flavor to this is even more ridiculous. We absolutely do call out male athletes if they do celebrate when the game is finished.
Blues didn't celbrate until like 20 seconds left in the game 7 stanley cup.
“That team’s gonna get what’s coming to them!” USA wins the World Cup.
The thing is, they played an extremely poor team. The way they celebrated was arrogance at its finest. It DOES NOT matter if it were there first World Cup! Giving USWNT being the best nation in the world it would be nice to show some respect to an incompetent team such as Thailand!
Tim is being way too nice. They were classless. A compete joke.

@@nthnthms1212 Nah. The USA team is a joke.

Amy, save your "you wouldn't tell a man's team" card for a pertinent situation. In fact, maybe just put it away for ever. Starting to appear your sexual choices are seeping into your sports analysis. Anger issues?, jealousy? Such an "out of the blue" comment.
no need to make everything a gender issue but yet it always happens
Yes, we would. But more inetresting question for me is would man's team celebrate like they did it?
@@user-vx8er3pb3u no. men have an unwritten honour code
In any hockey game, Men or Women. When you run up the score, you put your head down and go to the bench!
Just saying
@@lyallarblaster3416 thank you
But the thing is the men’s US soccer team can’t even score past 4 goals 😂💀
@Timothy Clark ... and they wouldn't celebrate goals. It's the same thing ..... the gap in capability. Now, it was the WC stage, but come on .... skip the over the top celebrations after goals 8-13.
thegodhimself 101 we wouldn’t celebrate tho lol if we did.
Stunts like that would start a bench clearing brawl in '80s NHL...As others have mentioned - stay classy ladies.
@Rick Gross lol - you're probably right.
Anyone whose ever played a sport, professionally, in amateur, beer leagues doesnt matter what the sport is, when the game is decided u dont celebrate like u just caught the winning touchdown in Overtime to win the superbowl. U just dont
Running up the score is always disrespectful. Classless celebration is disgraceful!
I'm so glad they got what was coming to them!
You do that in hockey and you get jumped
Jonathan Horton
You get jumped in hockey anyways.
Lars Eller got KO'd by Marchand for running up the score. But let me guess.. sexism.. right?
Red Redmon playing the gender card 😑
Yeah, I take my cues on integrity from Brad Marchand. How's he feeling today, by the way?
Jason Dashney you totally missed the point. But nice try! Maybe next time
How’s is the celebration of the US soccer team losing going buddy?
Clearly the issue isn't being discussed in a way that makes it clear to Team USA, because they keep arguing one thing when the issue is something related but an entirely different point:
1. Good for them winning a game they were obviously going to win.
2. Absolutely score as many goals as you can in 90 minutes, and don't let up.
3. Don't make yourselves look like some amateur rec league with excessive celebrations after every point scored.
These ladies are supposed to be professionals, both on the field and off it. I'm glad they were having fun and yes, congratulations to those players who had not scored an international goal in regulation before. BUT, hasn't Rapinoe been here many times before? How about Morgan? These are seasoned players with a lot of experience under their belts, and I expected a little more restraint and some composure from their senior players. Where was their coach in all of this? Or was she shrieking like a high school cheerleader from the bench as well?
They just entered the group stage and beat a team who they were pretty much guaranteed to beat as soon as the pools were announced. They beat them convincingly, and in the process set a new record, which again, great for them, that's very impressive. But maybe don't act like every goal scored is the tiebreaker in the semi finals. It came off as rude and showboating. There's such a thing as being called a sore winner, and this is what that looks like. Keep it classy, ladies, because who knows what might happen over the course of this tournament. I know that they are an impressive team, but if they ever find themselves down by more than one goal with less than 5 minutes left in regulation, and they see their opponents celebrating a little too hard, I know they'd be ultra salty about it.
lol @ the comment about their coach.
their coach was doing the splits and a few cartwheels in the stands. just kidding. :p
I know nobody watch this but, I really appreacite their captain Carli Lloyd after the game.
This video didn't age very well.
Still waiting on that upset.LmFAO!!!!
Lol! Still laughing my freaking ass off@
Yes!
i watched the game! They did their best and it's world cup, you should. but, come on! you won already. Ranking 1 beat ranking 34. the celebration of kicking! Fking champion!
2014 World Cup, after Germany was up 5-0 the men stopped celebrating.
Because they have sportsmanship... these ladies are disgusting for their actions...
I’m not saying don’t be happy because you scored, but have some self respect!
Its pretty basic actually.. Show your opponent the respect they deserve.. Go bananas for the first 4 or 5 but after that show respect
Had this been Sweden then cool, Canada ok, but Thailand? to act like that after goal 5, is ridiculous. And to say that we wouldn’t do this to men is a joke. if you celebrate like that in a men’s sport, you’re getting hurt or someone will attempt to hurt you.
Canada? Why would we celebrate a win against a nobody?
Alex Morgan summed it up best. Forget the haters. At some point; this team wasn't playing to win, they were playing to solidify their names in the history books for decades to come.
I'm American, and old school. When you're beating the other team that bad show some class and tone down the celebrating. In this case it was like a major league baseball team playing a college team and then celebrating a blow out like they'd actually proved something other than they're poor sports. They didn't represent their country well, and part of me wants them to lose now, because how you play the game still matters.
Once won a high school soccer game 13-0 with 11 goals in second half and our second best striker scored 5. This game reminded me a lot about that
The fact is all the hate spewed at the USWNT had nothing to do with Thailand or the sport. Folks here will always find something to complain about. You wished them ill but ultimately, you don't control their destiny and, The Queen Is Still On Her Throne.
Absolutely
I think that there is a reason why men do not show these classless goal celebrations in garbage time - there is pride on the losing side that they understand and care about. Heck, I am a small point guard and absolute amateur level, but I have pride. If you score on me twice of thrice and start to clown about or talking trash, then I would foul you hard. Many basketball coaches acknowledge this and subs the starters for the rookies and garbage time players. I give huge respect to the Thai team for not starting a fight or tackling really hard after 7 or 8 goals, I know I would find a real fast way to rub off that smile off that disrespectful face.
Man, if there was a fight ... it would be the US skanks flying everywhere from that bone-crushing Muay Thai. I'd pay 10x more to see that go down.

Pathetic behaviour from USNWT. A Pro team beating a Pub team and hitting 10 in the second half is very bad sportsmanship. The FC Dallas u15 Boys team beat the USNWT 5-2 recently. Let that sink in.
Lets hope the next boys team learns from this game, never stop scoring, play the clown after every goal.
Gillette liked it
Celebrating like that would have caused a bench clearing brawl if this happed in men's OR women's hockey!
Sid, unlucky you couldn’t enjoy their loss 😟
ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL!!!!! Shocked USWNT would celebrate the way they did. I can still understanding scoring 13 but to celebrate the 11, 12, 13th goals like they were the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd is an utter disgrace. SAD
Why is it shocking? How many classy Americans do you know?
John Marino haha true buddy, not many
Lol well congratulations. I'm pretty sure that our players and their fans really care about what you think.

@@khushisimon You're a gentleman. Would like to shake your hand.
Sacrifice? You're not sacrificing anything, you're doing something you love
The argument that some of the American players that scored their first ever World Cup goals should be allowed to celebrate like maniacs is a bad argument. First of all, no- you shouldn’t celebrate like that, even if it’s a significant goal for you personally. You might want to, but you’re gonna have to suck it up and respect the other team. It’s called putting respect, the match, the fans, the other players, and the sport in general over yourself (because all of that is, in fact, more important than you) - aka sportsmanship. I’m not saying the players can’t be happy, they can and should be as happy as they can be but there is a difference between your internal emotions and how you externally react to them or express them. Secondly, most of the goals that were scored and over-celebrated were not scored by newcomers, they were scored by veteran players and they still celebrated like they just scored the winning goal in the World Cup finals. So that should put that argument to rest.
Abby, a men's team knows not to celebrate. Men and women approach the concept of respect quite differently. It stems from all throughout history if you disrespect another man he will either knock you out, or bring his tribe back to destroy your tribe. Guys will hire the guy who has been working the longest and is next in line - women hire the flashiest interviewee. These American women in soccer are self-centred in their celebration, and in society as well. There are guys who do that too, but they take an earful from their teammates and coaching staff afterward, and it shows they are not quite men yet. It's nice to see some women in the media to call out this as disrespectful.
You're absolutely right, as a patriotic American I was ashamed of our soccer team. The excessive celebrations was embarrassing & stupid. We deserve to get are tails kicked in this tournament.
Years ago when the U of A Golden Bears played a hockey team from, I think, Korea they ended up beating them something like 34-0. It actually could have been worse but the coach eventually told his players they could only shoot on goal using the backhand and other things to keep the score down. So, yeah they took it easy on them - sportsmanship.
2021 Olympics: Canada just beat the US. Sadly, I was rooting for Canada because these gals representing my country were very unsportsmanlike, rude, and ungracious against the Thai team. The showboating was over the top.
I hope every teenage male team that pummels them in those friendlies, celebrates each goal like this.
"Goals you've dreamt of.." Really? you thought "man I'd love to score the 8th goal in a 13-0 win against Thailand, when that happens, I'll have no control!"
As the nike commercial shows woman can DO crazy things....they can DO whatever they want, and don't have to apologize for it. They will always say..."but what about men". Take on your own responsibility and stop acting like children.
Gotta love Canada
Oh well to bad ... Sid isn't going to see the uswnt get "choked out" in this tournament
I don't think I've ever seen a men's team in any sport celebrate like that after such a blow out. But I have seen men get heavily criticized for such over the top celebrations displays in lesser extent blowouts.
So your answer to that question is, yes, men would get told off badly for doing those types of celebrations while up 9-0, 11-0, 12-0.
James 1 and men shouldn’t be criticized
After their Olympic loss to Canada, the US women team should watch video of their relentless celebrations in their 13-0 win over Thailand ... I found it comforting.
If you run the score up in hockey and you still celebrate goals you get your head knocked off
Guess we still waiting to get what’s coming to us huh?
When Germany won against Brazil by 7-1 , German(men) players did not disrespect Brazil(men) ,like USA did with Thailand. Its not about men or women,It's aboutut respecting the opposition
I don't know which celebration was more embarrassing, Morgans goal counting or Rapinoe's sliding leg fart.
The fart was tacky and jusy kind of lame lol
I think it was a queef
If a man's team pulled that garbage after the 5th goal I can assure you ankles would be broken. It is absolutely understood amongst the players how far you take it. Yellow cards are given to men if celebrating a goal is deemed excessive to the point of taunting.
They’re classless athletes. You do not need to celebrate like it’s game 7.
"that American team is gonna get what's coming to them"
"karma will come around and get them"
"when they lose, I'm gonna enjoy this so much"
hahahahahaha, how'd that turn out for you. World Cup champs yet again!
This American team will go down in history as unstoppable and unbeatable, scoring machine in the history of sports! Undeniably the greatest team ever assembled. What you witnessed was history in the making!
"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."
I sure hope so. They need a taste of their own medicine.
I disagree @@MrBank325
How has it worked out for you so far?
"Yikes"
@@MrBank325 still hoping?
When have Americans ever known what respect is
Celebrations were embarrassingly disrespectful.
How did that workout there for ya eh..lol
I am wondering How that 15 year old kids celebrated
I agree with this assessment. Scoring what goals you can and staying on your game is not disrespectful, and there is the goal differential thing to consider, but taunting the other team is disrespectful. Almost every sport has something like an "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalty for excessive celebrations. Soccer also has a penalty for "bringing the sport into disrepute". This could easily be applied here, because the US women's team is perhaps worldwide the greatest symbol and spokesperson for this great women's sport, and when people see them mocking their opponents it is not going to make girls from Thailand think this is something they want to pursue. Sports works best when there is "respect in sport".
Norman Mailer once said that women had no sense of honor. Bingo.
There’s an old saying: “act like you’ve been there before”
Most of those who scored HAVE been there before. If it’s your first goal in your career? Yeah sure celebrate a bit. But the players who were scoring… it wasn’t the first time in their careers. It is absurdly immature and showed no sportsmanship. Absolute slap in the face the Thailand team.
If it was flip around , the Americans would be crying that it was disrespectful. Hope they get blown out next game.
this just shows the difference in professionalism between the women and the men in soccer. The US women acted like amateurs, in stead of professionals. Nothing wrong with playing your hardest, but excessive celebrations when up by so much is wrong. If the woman game wants respect like the mens game, and as professional athletes, they have a long way to go, when they act like that. They did not help build the womens game they help hold it back, even if only a little.
I'll tell you what, hats off to Thailand for not taking a number. If this was my hockey days and I played a team song that.. The player wouldn't be skating off the ice. I take a number.
My brother's family has lived in Bangkok for over 25 years, and I visit there frequently. I love the country. Thailand really needs to improve its football standard. US team has worked so hard with non-stop training. Sometimes I wonder how could a person survives for such arduous training. They should celebrate as much as possible to boost their confidence.
American Hockey player and coach here and I agree completely. I don't take issue with the goals as long as goal differential is the tie breaker, but celebrating such a wicked beat down is utterly classless. Everyone knows what would happen in a hockey game if such classless disrespect kept going on and on and on...... Fists would fly and rightfully so. The only thing these idiot chicks accomplished is they guaranteed that a some women's US team, whether its soccer or some other sport will be similarly humiliated.
Women world cup Germany vs Argentina check it out and see how a professional team handles it
Last night my rec summer league hockey team got blown out 9-2 (PHL Niagara, Google the score if you don't believe me) and by the time the other team scored their 6th goal in the 3rd period when the score was 6-1 they stopped celebrating! We're not even professionals and the other guys showed the class and dignity of a PRO! These so called "professional" women are an embarrassment!
They never lost by the way lol
difference is men has class
You Canucks are just so damn salty
So sick of pointless "controversies". It's a game; none of it even matters at the end of the day. It's amazing to me how anyone cares this much about a team celebrating. Live your lives, come up with your own views, and stop getting upset about something meaningless just because social media tells you to be upset and you're going along with it because you're bored.
To answer Abby Wambach's tweet, yes, men's team do tell their players to not score or celebrate. The German players told each other to not score at half time against Brazil. Their celebration was extremely short after the game, and they stayed on the pitch to console the Brazilian players. There's grace in both winning and losing.
I'm not sure who was even watching the game to notice .
Hahahahahaha he said they wouldn't win and they won the whole thing!!!! Hahahahahaha
The women could of been more mature about there excessive celebrations. But what the heck there the queens of football and should be proud to be!
We got 4 Stars!
