The US Womens' Soccer team and inappropriate celebrations
- Thread starter The King beyond the wall
- Start date
I wouldn't have a problem with England or anyone else dunking on the u.s after a goal.
have at it.
have at it.
Of course not lol.
Women are supposed to dainty little angels lol. Sarcasm if not obvious lol.
It is fine to score 13, even 30. But kinda letgo on the celebrating a bit after they go two digit at least. Thats embarrasing.
OP
OP
I forgot about this celebration and it was definitely inappropriate. Are there any other examples of celebrations referencing the opponent's nation or history?
Nope, he's just as much of an arrogant douchebag as Alex Morgan. You won't see me praising him for his behavior.
Who said anything about men versus women? Nowhere in my post does it say that. Way to just make something up. You're attacking the US for something the rest of the world also does. Men's fifa and the EPL being a men's league is just part of it. Its not a gender issue at all. Women's Fifa isnt corrupt currently
I can't wait when women soccer catches up throughout the world and the American team becomes mediocre just like the men's. It's only a matter of time now.
Only reason they're the best is because they're the only ones who cared for the past 30 years. Kinda like American football lol

What's sport without salt anyway?
See that's what I'm talking about. SO delicious.

Once?
English football is 80% WW2 stuff by volume. Probably their biggest stadium Anthem is The Great Escpae FFS.
Remember when John Cleese made a video begging them not to keep bringing the up the war?
Spoiler: it didn't work.
Yeah, but whine more about the tea lmao.
I love how the Italians have to shoulder the shit talking of their own country themselves 🤣
You are clueless as to the sports landscape in America so keep waiting it's going to be awhile.
It's kind of annoying that people are even having this conversation.
These guys/gals are playing a game, let them have fun if they want too.

Why anyone would ever accuse the English of lacking a sense of humor is beyond me. Never seen so much self-deprecation as in the UK myself haha
Well people are probably just reacting to the thread title. What's OPs nationality?
Okay, so? I said "for the most part" for a reason.
Anyone who has paid attention to football for the past however long has seen players, coaches, commentators, etc., etc. compliment his endless hunger for goals again and again and again.
Go ahead and put your head in the sand and pretend there hasn't been a disparity between reaction to players like him and reaction to players like Alex Morgan (btw, is this specific quality actually the reason you dislike Ronaldo, or is it just convenient for you to conflate a bunch of things haphazardly right now...?), but there absolutely has been.
...what? Did replies from Americans will this thread into existence?
People need to grow the fuck up. When you can beat them in their sport, then you can tell them how they can and cant celebrate. Until then just watch the show as its presented to you.
That fact has never once stopped people from diving on a thread claiming Americans are up in arms over something dumb no one here actually cares about. Take it easy and just ignore it if it genuinely doesn't apply to you.
I believe he is one of ours. He needs to get back in here and explain himself for bringing all this down on our heads.
The fucking robot near the end nearly makes me piss my pants every time I've seen this, so good
I don't think there's a country where women soccer is nearly as popular as it is the US, and the US in general has just fantastic infrastructure, from very young age through college.
Also, one of the biggest problems of the men side in the US is that most of the best athletes choose other sports, and that's less of a issue on the women side.
So I wouldn't hold my breath for the US to suck any time soon.
Also, if you care about women soccer you probably shouldn't hope for the US to suck, because if the US stopped caring about women soccer tomorrow that sport would take a massive massive step backward, one that I'm not sure it will be able to recover from.
No kind of to it. It's full on annoying. How bout use the celebrating as motivation to do better next time?
Its really just thinly veiled misogyny at the end of the day. A desire to put women in their place, so to speak.
1. So by your reasoning, the problem is that the rest of the world doesn't care about women's football, despite the fact that football is the most popular sport in the world by a large margin. You can see how that's not a good look for the rest of the world, right? Like, saying that the rest of the world doesn't care about a sport that's exactly the same as the most popular sport in the world except played by the wrong gender is not something to brag about.
2. People keep saying the world is going to catch up (I can literally remember this exact point being made during the World Cup 8 years ago). And yes, the US team will at some point not be as dominant as it is right now, but I really doubt they're just going to fall off a cliff.
I can't even believe this is a thread tbh.
I watch a good amount of sports. That seems hardly controversial.

I am stunned at how this is any kind of an issue and that it needed another thread. There is probably 10 pages of this nonsense already in the World Cup OT. This is really just starting to seem like sour grapes at this point. Relax folks it's a game...
You guys need to stop listening to Piers Morgan. He works for a low rated breakfast show who will insert himself into any argument to boost ratings.
As for all the remarks about the chants and hooligans that is true for some clubs but also not as bad as it used to be. Don't some supporters of US side riot whenever their team wins the pennant?

Just like how when the rest of the world became interested in basketball, the US men's team faded into mediocrity.
In the end, the few vocal Brits who are truly upset by this just can't reconcile their superiority complex over the US with losing to the US in a competition.
The only proper way to celebrate is to apologize for scoring a goal.
Anyway, people should celebrate the way they want to. Provocations are ok.

I cannot think of any off the top of my head. I think both the one in OP and the Shaq celebration last year were inappropriate but I can understand why they done it in the moment without putting much thought into it. I do think it is much less of an issue in women's football because the reaction from fans is just not the same as in men's football.
It is never wise for any footballer to gloat to losing fans just incase it is taken the wrong way. Football is literally life to many people and I am not sure why people in this thread cannot see why gloating to a losing team is just wrong.
