I know it isn't the full roster that will be playing in the gold cup but holy shit. That was embarrassing. Trapp was complete garbage in both of these losses...no clue why Berhalter insists on playing him in the defensive midfielder role over Tyler Adams.. Oh yeah it's because he coached Trapp in Columbus...what a joke. And he wants to play Adams at right back when he is a natural for the 6 spot. Group stage of gold cup shouldn't be an issue to get through but after that they better get their shit together because this past week was an absolute disaster.

I am actually not a big fan of what the women did today. I have been on the right and wrong side of enough 6 or 7 - 0 games to know how shitty that feels. Honestly not even fun scoring more at some point, unless it’s the last few guys on the bench. I stopped watching for the most part after 5 or so but was flicking back and forth with the yanks and saw them celebrating a goal or two between 10-13. Fuck outta here with celebrations at that point. If I was in that game, Alex Morgan wouldn’t be playing another minute in this tournament
and I am aware that this is probably the wrong take and I am an old man

(Just questions) Would it have been worse if they just played keep-away and Toyed with them?
And, put a player out because their better then you?

On one of the better teams I played on, if we were up by 5, we had to connect 10 passes before taking a shot. It at least slows it down a good bit.
More for the fact she was in the game up by 10 and that’s stupid and they were celebrating goals 10-13

Think they made all of their substitutions before 10 goals.

the celebrations is the embarrassing thing. Goal differential isnt influenced by showing up your opponent as well as your home country
of all the goals, how many were scored by first time at the cup players?
hmm? you tellin me after years of hard work and effort to even makr the team, then the work to get back to the WC, first timers are supposed to temper there joy at scoring in the WC?

But to put blame on the United States ignores two obvious points. First, the Americans didn't make the rules under which the number of goals scored is part of deciding the outcome of the tournament. Goal differential counts. The U.S. women want to win their group. Unlike just about any other sport, they have a vested interest in running up the score.
And second, it isn't the United States' fault it can't clear its bench. It is allowed three subs. It used three subs.
"If this is 10-0 in a men's World Cup, are we getting the same questions?" U.S. coach Jill Ellis asked at repeated queries about the score. "I think a World Cup, it is about competing, it is about peaking, it is about priming your players ready for the next game."
But beyond that, why is it the obligation of the U.S. team to act in the interest of a creating a picture of a falsely level playing field. Why shouldn't FIFA or the Asian Confederation get blamed for not doing more to promote the women's game in places where it lags behind?
Are we really going to blame players for celebrating a goal, in many cases in their first World Cup, instead of looking at the underlying reasons for the disparity in the first place?
It's understandable that Thai players looked stunned and embarrassed after the game, far from the joyous scenes after they beat Ivory Coast in their World Cup debut four years ago. It is unfortunate for them. But it's also competition. Both sides of it.
"Obviously, we have the utmost respect for everyone we play," Rapinoe said. "But it's the World Cup, and that's part of it. That's part of growing the game and growing the pool."

Agree with you here. Scoring a goal at the WC is just about the pinnacle of the sport. How the hell are you not supposed to celebrate that?!?

So you're on the US men's world cup team and you score your first WC goal in a blowout...you're telling me you wouldn't celebrate that?? Were the celebrations a bit much? Probably. But I'm not going to fault someone for celebrating something you dream of doing your whole life.

Goals 9-13 were scored from the 79th minute on and were scored by...
Rapinoe Morgan Pugh (1st world up goal) Morgan Lloyd
Not exactly first timers. It is obnoxious, even if you get Pugh the benefit of the doubt. The fact that Morgan was even playing is a disgrace.

when it is 10-0 and your embarrassing the other team and yourself. It is safe to temper celebrations when the game is well in hand.... probably about 5-0. You can be happy, show it, and not look like a clown show.
And playing the 'inequality' card is an incredibly lame move. Men would be criticized as well if they did that.

The United States men's national team has scored 12 World Cup goals in the past 6,202 days.
Alex Morgan is the just the second player in Women's World Cup history to score five goals in a single game. Michelle Akers was the first in 1991.
