[Peru]

Nederland in trouble.

 

[ibyea]

Crappy defense by Netherlands almost let China in.

 

[Oersted]

Should have hold the ball instead of that botched header

 

[RGVNOE]

Crappy defense by Netherlands almost let China in.

just about let china walk right into for a goal

 

[Mory Dunz]

I liked Lloyd in that match. Holiday needs support because she's a turnover machine. Lloyd is the best person on the roster to help her. I don't think she took a single shot against Australia. When was the last time that happened? :lol

I'm afraid she might get trigger happy on Friday cause Pia said some things about her. I think the USA should play a 4-2-3-1. Lloyd helping out with defensive work and Brian at attacking mid, or Press cause this outside mid experiment is not working.

Holiday plays too slow sometimes. And she doesn't have a defensive presence. She got turned too easilly several times. She's still probably the best passer though.

Yeah Lloyd will be trigger happy. Hopefully they won't all miss.

Hm. Brian hasn't shown me enough attacking talent to be a CAM with Lloyd and cheney playing defensive. I could maybe switch those two.

But what about striker? I would go with 4-4-2 with a diamond and start morgan and Leroux. Sweden might render Wambach ineffective with their height. O reily could start at winger if she's anywhere close to how good she used to be. And press could sub in as striker and work their slow defense.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I'm calli ng a goal



Lol
Norway free kick got me too excited

 

[Mecha]

I'm glad the crowd is still making some good noise for the game, even if there aren't many there.

 

[Peru]

She tried to replicate it

 

[zroid]

the dutch are not really inspiring much confidence here

 

[Oersted]

Who are these women in red and what have they done to the chinese team?

 

[Oersted]

The hell is happening?

What was that with these camera sheanigans?

 

[Mory Dunz]

That was a corner

 

[Ganzlinger]

I think the match is equal

 

[ibyea]

Oof, close one. Dutch player went fast to the front but couldn't kick straight due to interference.

In my formation, Leroux would be striker since Morgan isn't 100% yet.

Since Ellis is gonna go with a 4-4-2, I would go with Leroux and Rodriguez. Anyone, but Wambach. Nigeria's speed killed Sweden's slow backline.

 

[zroid]

Woah

 

[Tenebrous]

Good play that.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Nice play!

No. 2 of Dutch team is still searching the ball lol

 

[ibyea]

Spectacular play by the Chinse, goalie blocks it.

Oh. Why not press? Or is she on the wing
I'm probably like the biggest anti Rodriguez person. In terms of her playing. She used to dominate but with the emergence of morgan leroux press, forwards with not only pace but touch as well, I hope she doesn't see the field.


Number 18 for China looks the best person the field.
that was the best dribble of the tournament maybe. No reliance on speed or fortune. Rekt

 

[Mecha]

Great tries.

 

[Ganzlinger]

China is better now

 

[RGVNOE]

China all over the Dutch, Nice saves by that goalie though

 

[ibyea]

China is on a roll!

 

[Mory Dunz]

Sheesh

 

[Peru]

Wow.

 

[mellz]

That was a penalty.

 

[Ganzlinger]

First impression was penalty. But I guess it was legal body contact

 

[ibyea]

That looked like penalty.

 

[mellz]

First impression was penalty. But I guess it was legal body contact

No, it was a clear penalty.

 

[Ganzlinger]

No, it was a clear penalty.

The referee disagrees and so the Brazilian commentators.

No one from China complained.

 

[zroid]

It was a Canadian penalty

 

[ibyea]

Nice save by the Dutch. Goodness, China is so good.

 

[Peru]

Netherlands needs to reorganize.

You know Jill Ellis. She ain't having any of that Press up top nonsense.

Leroux's first touch can be pretty bad. I do think Rodriguez requires great service from our midfielders to be effective. She's not as good at creating her own shot like Morgan or Press can.

 

[Ganzlinger]

It was a Canadian penalty

Haha I agree

 

[mellz]

The referee disagrees and so the Brazilian commentators.

No one from China complained.

Well they're all wrong. 100% penalty.

 

[Envelope]

china looks better so far!

(unabashedly rooting for China after that BS penalty last game)

 

[ibyea]

Gosh darn it. Lower!

 

[Mory Dunz]

If I were number 18 I would hate my teammates lol

 

[Peru]

I have to go to bed. I don't know if China can keep this up and I expect a different Neth' to come out in the 2nd half. My gut feeling says Thailand played a lot better than Ivory Coast but the bookmakers hold them as big underdogs. Curious what result I'll wake up to.

 

[ibyea]

Lol commenter keeps going on about Norway's goal today, begging people to watch it. Not that I blame him.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Well they're all wrong. 100% penalty.

You won't win any discussion like this. It could be a penalty, but not a clear. The referee needs to make her own interpretation. Shoulder on shoulder dispute is allowed and that was the case, the problem is that the Chinese player is too fragile and fell the way I see it.

How is it shoulder to shoulder when she rammed her back lol.

 

[ibyea]

End of 1st half! I hope China keeps it up like this in the second half!

 

[Envelope]

Hope China gets a goal in the second half, they had some great attacks in the first

It wasn't shoulder to shoulder. She lenghtened her arm for a push.

 

[Ganzlinger]

I had the sensation it was her side not her back.

It wasn't shoulder to shoulder. She lenghtened her arm for a push.

I'd need to see the replay. I saw her arm doing the move but I thought the Chinese was already falling.

 

[ibyea]

Man stupid schedule Ivory Coast and Thailand starting right now.
