Penalties shouldn’t be allowed in the first 30 seconds because that turned in to 90 minutes of shit.

Pretty sure both teams spent this week fiesta-ing in Madrid. Semi-Finals were fun. I’m an idiot for liking this stupid sport when it comes to finals.

See you next year.

I am looking forward to Arsenal not qualifying again as they won't finish in the PL top 4 in the 19/20 season. I saw the last KPMG European Elite ranking and noticed something about the top ten.... guess which team with cheap as s*** owners is $125M short of the next lowest squad market value. Kroenke Out!

Women’s World Cup discussion? Sure. Probably not worthy of it’s own thread.

If nothing else it can break up the usual footie talk with pics of Alex Morgan.

France/Korea just kicked things off. USA plays Tuesday.

I’m sorry, but there should be no World Cup game that ends 13-0. They should have less teams or something. I remember Germany beating SA once on the men’s side 7-0 and that seemed astronomical, and this was double that

Blaming the players and team for running up the score is really stupid. These women are adults who have been training for this event, they weren't chosen to play on their national team by accident, and goal differential is a tiebreaker in the World Cup. I don't care if the score was 50-0, so long as they aren't taunting the other team then those players did nothing wrong. Shame on the media who want to criticize players and coaches for doing their job and enjoying being successful.

Obviously none of the FOX announcers are in France (rather calling games off of monitors from trailers in a parking lot in Los Angeles), but the announcer of the Japan-Scotland game just said, "It's a screamer to the upper corner," when Japan scored.

The goal was clearly high to the center of the goal when it went in. Not sure what he was looking at on his monitor.

I think FOX half-asses a lot of things, IMO (can't recall if they sent the announcing teams to Russia last summer). I think ESPN didn't send announcing teams to the site until the quarters of the WWC.
