To be fair, if Canada was ever able to pull something off in a game vs a team like the Dutch, even if just in a friendly, they'd probably do the same thing for us.

really??? lol

I mean, I hate US Soccer and I was excited lol. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that MLS would give us a little shout.

What I like most is that the ESPN article that documents the 911 tapes and the sealed court docs mentions over and over the ESPNw article jstew posted where she plays the "my twat smells like lavender" card.

Is it wrong that I want to see the onion bag filled with many Australian goals tonight in Winnipeg?

I cannot root for this US team even though I'm a US citizen. I'm rooting for Thailand and Canada to go all the way.

Is it compelling enough so that she wins the Caitlyn next year for courage?

One high school French teacher used that one quite a bit back in the ninth grade.

1-1 at halftime between the States and the Aussies.

/Hey Sydney, it's under the bar, not over

Credit where credit is due, that was a nice setup on the 2nd USA goal by Leroux...

Japan squeaks by Switzerland courtesy of a penalty kick that was a generous call in my opinion...

 

[jstewismybastardson]

this certainly isnt a puff piece

She did make a couple of nice saves last night against the Aussies - Maybe she's the Patrick Roy of women's soccer?

To clear up the Toronto thing, from Rob Edwards:

“Just to let you know the main reason Toronto isn’t hosting any World Cup games is that they will be hosting the PAN-AM games in the next few weeks. Plus, if it was in Toronto, most of the fields would be turned into apartment buildings before the full-time whistle.”

Zing!

Fiji 3 Honduras nil

The Honduras u20 national team are being investigated under suspicion of match-fixing. This comes after a shock 3-0 loss to major underdogs Fiji in the under 20 world cup tournament held in New Zealand.

The match was flagged up on FIFA's 'Early Warning System' which seeks to flag up suspicious matches before kick off by using a number of methods including, but not limited to, monitoring betting patterns across the world:

“EWS operates an individually developed system for monitoring and analysing the global sports betting market. With this system, EWS specialists analyse the changes in odds and betting offers, track market liquidity and obtain an overview of all the latest changes in the market.”

An unnamed FIFA official in New Zealand who wished to remain anonymous due to pending investigations confirmed after the match, that the Honduran team is being investigated and the next steps will be taken in regards to possible sanctions.

Users on social media across the world were stunned at Fiji's historic win, while many also remarked at the bizarre lack of effort from the Honduran team and how they did not appear to want to score. Honduras won their previous match 4-3 against Uzbekistan.

lol ... it did look like they were shooting at the fiji goalkeeper on purpose
