This is why the rest of the world hates US sports culture. No one is denying anyone the right to celebrate a fucking World Cup. That doesn't mean the criticism wasn't justified.

The criticism about the Thailand game wasn't justified. The other thread has every goal scored and what the team did after. Watching all of them makes it clear the whole thing was over blown.

That Lavelle goal really was a thing of beauty.

How many shots did Netherlands have? I remember a few moments where they seemed threatening but Naeher didn't have to work very hard today.

My only real disappointment / worry post-tournament is the state of German women's soccer. But at least they got this award:

Anyway, England had the opportunity to beat this USA side. They played much better than this Dutch team and missed a penalty. You need luck in this type of tournament and USA had plenty of it. Maybe I need to go into coaching a woman soccer team so I can help bring an end to USA women's dominance in this sport.

The salt is real. The Netherlands played better than England.

USA deserved winners, but proud of the Dutch. To be European champions and WC runner-up in such a short time is phenomenal.

No, I'm Dutch and I dislike celebrations of superiority were it's clear the opponent is way way way below your class.
You're going to run out of room to hold these Ls, my dude.

They weren't taunting and celebrating "superiority" over Thailand. They were having a good time en route to shattering records. If they were celebrating AT Thailand, you'd have a point. They weren't.
