US got a pretty good game from Spain. They look to be champs but they are staring straight at France now.

They were mediocre against Spain and got some help from the officials.
Will need to be much better the rest of the way

Dang dude why so harsh? Butt Hurt much?...... UMMMM it's MY topic and I'm on it. Do you think you can actually add anything other than insults?

Pretty much my reaction. That ticky-tack call which gave s the second goal prevented us from having to salvage the match in ET. Also, you can't concede boneheaded goals against the likes of France, England, and Doucheland.

Found it a strange line up for the tactics deployed (playing from the back and then trying to play behind)
France will shut them down if they come out that way

I would definitely say that a lineup which doesn't include Carly Lloyd as a starter is not one they intend to use going forward.

You guys thought that was a ticky tack call? The Spanish player raked the outside of Lavelle's knee with her studs out. That's a foul. The ref had a very good view of it and made the right call.
If that exact same thing happens anywhere else on the pitch you would expect that to be called, wouldn't you? If it's a foul anywhere else why shouldn't it be called when it happens in the 18 yard box?

I didn't say ticky tack.
I didn't see it as "raked" by any means. Felt soft.. and very fortunate.
Not saying it's a bad call, just a fortunate one. Seen refs smirk at those reactions far more often than blowing the whistle

Fair enough. You didn't say ticky tack, Threedee did. What you said was that they got some help from the officials, which to me seems like you are implying that they benefitted from some bad (or ticky tack) calls. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
