OT - London Olympics thread

so i still havent figured it out

were these the first 4 games the norwegian ref has ever ref'ed at the senior international level???


/if you cant find a woman with the comensurate experience level to do these games in this compressed tournament ... screw the dunces that scream sexism and use a male ref with a high degree of international experience

players have been saying so too ... (note Sophie Schmidt tweeted that yesterday ... she deleted that tweet )

I don't know jstew, but it was obvious early on that she was in over her head (very inconsistent with calling fouls etc.)

/The alleged Tancredi head stomp on Carli Lloyd is getting a lot of traction...

I hadn't heard of this until your post, so I looked it up and found this.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

gif makes it look intentional ... she should miss next game

 

[jstewismybastardson]

but fifa did say they are looking at events that occurred post game ... nothing about in-game

 

[jstewismybastardson]

maybe after seeing this ... they suspend Tancredi for comments post game lol

Somebody get this equestrian shit off of my television.

Yup, that's the video - It certainly looks awkward and Canada likely got away with one there.

/Lloyd did play the entire match, so I guess not too much damage was done.

Tancredi only slightly stompped and didn't twist on the follow through. Maybe could have been a red if the ref saw it.

[jstewismybastardson]
