Ugh. So close again. Side net by Morgan.

Then no call on take down of Morgan in box

 

[cardfan]

Morgan is so fast!! NZ can't stop her. Need to finish

 

[cardfan]

Another missed opportunity by Morgan!!!

[cardfan]

Heather Oreilly in for Rapinoe ??? Really? Why

[cardfan]

Ugh. Morgan attacked, NZ goalie came out and fouled Morgan, but no call

Morgan's knee hit goalie's head, Goalie stayed, Morgan is out. Ugh

Brandi Chastain is such a ****ing idiot.

Just because it's the goalie doesn't mean she has the right to slide recklessly outside the box. That is a foul 100 times out of 100 (2nd missed call where Morgan was fouled, by the way).

Couldn't agree more. The play by play guy, who is very good, said that that play is called a lot. Agree, ref missed 2 calls

Even on a good day, Rapinoe's defense is not good. Today it has been worse.

She's back in, ok

Agree, but her O is better

 

[cardfan]

She's back in, ok

Check that, I think she is ok, but she didn't come back in

Brandi is a stupid airhead. I can't stand listening to her drivel.

UGH. She makes it hard to watch the Olympic Soccer games. Well, I can watch with the volume on "mute."

The male announcer is good. He must be cringing every time Brandi opens her mouth.

 

[Icebear]

Are Bob and Meghan available to do soccer?

I have five dollars that says the play-by-play guy pulls off his shirt, gags Brandi with it, then falls to his knees with arms outstretched in exultation before the Olympics are over...

Absolutely. Really bad call. The guy announcer had it right. He was wondering if the foul would be a send-off or not (I don't think it should have been but I could see if it was called that way) but he was not even questioning if it was a foul. Brandi of course was out to lunch.
