so no slaughter rule in soccer. USA women amazing, but also looked like they were playing a middle-school team. 13-0. Don't get cocky.

Take away the fact that they're canadians, they're 100% right. Celebrating and counting your goals over a team like Thailand Is absolutely disgraceful and tasteless. Like what they also touched on, you would never see Sinclair or Canada celebrate like that vs –

That’s cool that USA won 13-0 and broke the record but to celebrate every goal like u won the World Cup was pretty disgraceful show class to ur opponents hopefully they’ll get a reality check against Sweden before the knockout stages

idk i thought it was disrespectful of the USA women’s team to celebrate after every goal, even when you’re like 12-0 up like show some sportswomanship
