Retired US Soccer / World Cup Thread (RIP)

She and O'Hara had MONSTER games today.

Good call on O’Hara. Experienced and tough. Credit to Dunn too. They picked on her all match and she held her own.

I had thought Dunn was onside as well. Damn that was close. Pretty second goal with great vision by Heath. Also got a little lucky when Le Sommer missed wide near post when she had it pretty open on the far post.

I feel like the offside rule should be that any part of your body is behind the last defender, like the blue line in hockey

The rule used to be that if the attacker was EVEN with the last defender, they were offside.

I think this is the rule?

 

[HuskyDeac]

I think he meant if any of part of your body is even with the defender it should not be offside, which would match the blue line offside rule in hockey. I would be fine with that. It's currently entirely dependent on the first playing part of your body being ahead of the defender.

 

[TownieDeac]

Unless that part of your body is hand or arm, right?

Let's just get rid of it entirely and have a match where you just cherry pick and bomb it up the pitch all 90 minutes. SO MANY GOALS!

Nah, my proposed rule still doesn’t allow for cherry picking.

Chile - Colombia should be a great match

Gary Medel is the oldest 31 year old ever. He could be 50.

Yeah just doesn't go far enough. If the attacker was once onside during any part of the possession then I say they should be considered onside until their team loses the ball.
Goals. Goals. Goals. Galore.

No offside from 18 yards out.

Shit like this makes you lose games. Concentrate on France and stop worrying about what you'll be doing after the WC.

This was wrong. Simulation all over from both teams and few real chances apart from Chile's two goals called back (correctly).

Just finished the match. What a great team effort!

Sadly the Copa America rarely offers much entertainment value
