1. Please delete your thread. Many people at work are recording the game...

to view later.

2. No offense but in this day and age...

if there was an event happening that I didn't want to hear about, I'd simply avoid the Internet. People shouldn't be shamed for "spoiling" something.

[DesertRat]

4. Thanks, I agree but I did change the title

[DesertRat]

3. I won't delete, but I edited the title

Those many people who are recording, but read DU at work had also better not check online news, twitter or breaking news alerts on their phones because the news is everywhere.

5. Thank you for editing (even though there was an ongoing thread).

I remember when Skinner threatened to ban a member for continually posting Olympic results in the OP title. It was pretty epic. That dude was such an arsehole.

9. If you'd mentioned the ongoing thread when you asked me to delete, I would have deleted

I searched and didn't see another thread before I posted.

12. Control f + World Cup.

6. You go, girl!

7. A joke Wikipedia entry for the occasion. . .

[DesertRat]

10. Oh wow, I love that!

[Moostache]

8. 'pinoe!!!! THAT is how you make a statement heard around the world!

She has scored the USWNT's last 4 goals now, accounting for all 4 tallies in the 2 knockout round victories!!!

Already a favorite of mine to begin with, love her even more (if that's possible!!!)

[DesertRat]

11. No better way to take on DT than score 4 in a row!!

[malaise]

13. This is a great moment

and it's eight semis - every single women's World Cup.

Fuck the Con!!! Go team!

[Soph0571]

14. And now *drum roll please*

DU UK v DU USA in the semi's

Bring it on!!! Hehe

[Blue_true]

18. Yeah, our friends across the pond will have something to cheer about.

Takes their minds off of Brexit and the weak food.

[Soph0571]

19. I'll take the Brexit hit

But don't be talking smack about our food



That there's fight talk!

[Blue_true]

20. Pretty impressive looking dish. nt

[Soph0571]

21. Sunday lunch! Yum n/t

[Blue_true]

25. On a serious side. I wish that our anthem was "America"

instead of the Star Spangled Banner. "America" is much more beautiful. Btw, the lyrics, but not the words were copied from "God save the Queen", your country's athem.

28. Are those giant onion rings?

[DinahMoeHum]

29. Methinks that's Yorkshire pudding.

30. Yorkshire Pudding

Glorious things

15. GOOOAAAALLLLLL !! (I missed what THE EVIL ORANGE ONE tweeted about her)

But, i probably can guess he had bad things to say.

[DesertRat]

22. Here it is

I won't link to the actual tweets, but here's what he wrote.

Women’s soccer player, @meganrapino, just stated that she is “not going to the F...ing White House if we win.” Other than the NBA, which now refuses to call owners, owners (please explain that I just got Criminal Justice Reform passed, Black unemployment is at the lowest level...

....in our Country’s history, and the poverty index is also best number EVER), leagues and teams love coming to the White House. I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women’s Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! We haven’t yet....

...invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!

[FailureToCommunicate]

27. Thanks for that. Wow, it's even worse than I imagined. Trump melts down below

anyones' notion of how low he can go. He always burns down to the next floor...of the sub sub basement.

[NBachers]

16. In one game, she has done more for the USA than Trump & his spawn have done in their lives..
