I don’t necessarily have an issue with running up the score, but the celebrations were classless.
I don’t give a shit if it is your first goal. Have some perspective for who you are playing against. It was really nothing to celebrate.
On the score though. It’s more humiliating to have another team toy with you and play keep away for 45 minutes.
Agreed. The score is non-issue, even if it's 20-0. The celebrations after 6 goals are disgusting.

What goes around often comes around.
The World will smirk if another team celebrates against us down the line.
Yes that was classless
It will come back to bite them
Not right away, though. Next opponent is Chile...who is ranked slightly lower than Thailand...

Yeah it was. Another demerit to add to the boredom of women’s soccer. Even MLS is more watchable.

It’s like watching women’s basketball, but since my girls play.....

I get that. So did mine. And I yelled and cheered with the best of em.
I’m just saying it’s hard to watch on the tube if you really like the game.
Let me guess... you are enthralled watching America's "past" time for hours

I do watch some baseball but prolly watch the most real football as it’s on all year long.
Watch the prem weekly and whatever is on FSC as well as a little MLS and whatever big Nat matches fit the schedule.
The women's Game is just slower and inferior. It tends to bore me.
I also really don’t care if we win that second rate WC or not.
Like with all sports, women's soccer is simply a different game than men's
Moreover, it's progressing and it's fun to appreciate the evolution in itself. Of course it's not the EPL, but Notre Dame's women's basketball team would get crushed by our men... and yet they were infinitely more watchable the last two years.
Agreed. Incredibly classless. American divers helped rescue those Thai kids stuck in cave.
We ought not piss away our goodwill.
[No objection to US players engaging in sensual tongue dancing after scores. Obviously].
The Thais were not offended. The celebrations were not directed at them.

Weren't the US soccer players celebrating goals surrendered by the Thais?
If Michigan or USC were up 44-0 against the Irish, and continued to celebrate in the 4th QTR as they did in the 1st QTR, most Irish fans would deem the celebrations classless.
The USA has a history of celebrating a devastating victory over an Asian country. Whine on.

The Thai coach was not offended. What part of that do you not understand.

You mean a score of 91-0 in CFB would be considered a tad excessive? Who knew?

Goals in soccer translate the same as dog years?

Or Td’s, whichever. That is the approximate magnitude of the score in football.

Just funnin' ya. I would agree that's roughly what 13-0 equates to.

This wasn't a friendly. It was World Cup. The Thai coach did not complain. He understood.

Goal differentials can matter in WC. No issue with scoring as much as possible. Celebrations should
have been toned down after a certain point however.
Only if Chile or Thailand had a realistic chance to advance which they don’t.
The whole thing was disgusting and reflects badly on the team and coach.
After 8 or 9, shut it the fook down and those celebrations looked like U-12 girls.
Eh, it's World Cup. I don't have a problem with the scoring. The excessive celebrating after it was
...say 5 - 0 is unsportsmanlike in my book.
Don't think this team is all that likeable to begin with and they haven't done themselves any favors.
Meebe they thought the takeout order meant pad Thai score?

The Canadian analyst was the most pompous ass of all.

Heard tape of her on a sportstalk show this morning. Her gushing about the compassion of Canadians
...was soundly mocked in light of the Toronto response to the KD injury.
The NHL is also proof positive of Canadian goonism and classless behavior.

I know. Poor, poor little penguini of the poor having such brutes on its squad.

"Would you tell a men's team to not score or celebrate?" Wambach certainly ready to pull the sexism
...card for no apparent reason.
Plus she’s wrong. All sorts of criticism of running up scores in men’s sports.
