Rayvin 8366 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 The Guardian is continuing to get wound up about people criticizing the US women's team for being over the top in celebrating all 13 goals scored past Thailand: https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/jun/13/usa-celebrated-all-13-goals-thailand-france-2019-world-cup If this had been a men's team, what do we think? Germany eased off on Brazil when they were 5-0 up, out of a mixture of respect and probably fear of loss of life https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/worldcup2014/article-2686789/Mats-Hummels-says-Germany-pledge-half-time-not-humiliate-Brazil-World-Cup-semi-final.html Then again, maybe it shows considerable professionalism and enthusiasm for the game, to keep going.

Meenzer 18039 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Germany actively eased off on Brazil? That's taken the shine off things for me. The first half was the funniest thing I've ever watched, and a 13-0 howking with massive OTT samba celebrations after each goal would have made it even better.

Rayvin 8366 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Yeah I mean, 7-1 is right at the far end of 'acceptable within the professional game' for me. Probably because we beat Spurs 7-1 in the Keegan era. I remember us beating Sheff Wed 8-0 but that felt like something we needed to do as a club given the difficult period prior. If we'd beaten them 13-0 I'm not sure how I would have felt - I think after 5 or 6 it stops being as enjoyable. Although I think it might be different at club level compared to national level. If England had beaten San Marino 13-0 and celebrated every goal, I'm fairly sure I would have cringed. I mean I would have stopped watching at 7 or 8 anyway.

My wife was due with our second daughter and said she wouldn’t watch the game because her nerves couldn’t cope. She staid in the bedroom and asked me to keep her updated. So I had to quickly run to her after each goal with the biggest task being not to miss the next one. I thought the team were putting the foot of the pace to early and a double figure result would have been immense with the team celebrating every goal especially rolling over on the floor mocking Crymar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 15535 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Fair play to the lasses for celebrating all of those goals tbh, that’s what it’s all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 50752 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 If my team admitted to “easing up” on a team so as to not humiliate them, I’d be pissed off. I was at the 8-0 humping of Sheff Wed, it was SBR’s first home game I think. Up where I was , top of the Leazes right next to the away fans, there was no sense of “fair play” Same against Villa when we nailed them 6-0 after coming back up. Fuck them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
