Autostraddle Sports Club 12 years, 3 months agoOn a replay of the game, when they were showing the celebrations I noticed a US bench player with an undercut very similar to one Landstrom of Sweden has. Anyone have an idea who this was? She had the purple vest thingy on so I couldn’t see her number or name.

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 3 months agoHello lovely straddlers :) I hope you’re all doing well.
So….hair. Do you have feelings about it? It seems like such a very gendered thing. Personally I have really long hair. As in down to my ass kind of hair. I’ve more or less always had it like this and I like this way. Sometimes though it just seems to fall down my back like a big shiny…[Read more]-
I know what you mean about hair being such a strong influence in how people gender you – personally, my upbringing has given me a skewed outlook on the gender of hair. The two constantly long-haired people I saw growing up were my dad and my closest-in-age guy cousin, and my very female best friend got a buzz cut as soon as she broke free of her…[Read more]

I tend not to categorize other people based on their hair (I agree with Cricket, it’s more of a cultural thing) but from personal experience it’s a huge indicator for most societies. I’ve had short hair since 2006. Mostly when I’m in contact with any customer service – shops, airport security, hotel check-in, takeout counters – everyone calls me…[Read more]

Autostraddle Sports Club 12 years, 3 months agoAnd there was much screaming in joy!! I love Hope Solo so much, making that key save on the penalties and they were cool and calm about taking their penalties (once Boxxy re-did hers)
-
SO FANTASTIC. ALL OF IT. I have less words than Abby, but I liked her subtle dig at that bullshit call.
-
I’m pissed because Brazil lost but the US deserved the win.
-
I forgot there that we’re always on opposite sides in sporting events
-
Yeah, I threw stuff at the wall when Wambach scored… So frustrating to lose like that.
I guess you are the yin to my yang or something…

One of the most exciting matches I’ve seen in a long, long time. Crazy highs and lows. Still can’t get over that long cross from Rapinoe to Abby for the header…amazing!
-
12 years ago TO THE DAY since the 1999 pk win. eerie, but AWESOME
-
That game was awesome. At first i was with brasil (latin stuff) But later when i saw the USA game, man. They deserve to win. I was talking with my girlfriend in skype and watching the game. And the 2nd goal in the last minute, i scream so hard that she get mad (apparently left her deaf)
But, congratulations. That game was better that the hole…[Read more]

I’m still jazzed over the ending of this game! Fucking amazing.

Autostraddle Sports Club 12 years, 3 months agoOMG, AMAZING GOAL BY ABBY!!!!!

SO MANY EMOTIONS RUNNING THROUGH ME RIGHT NOW

The neighbors may be wondering why I was screaming

And if there’s any doubt that Abby plays for our team… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpDiDllu6ck&feature=feedwll&list=WL%C2%A0%C2%A0

Wow, seriously, there really can be no doubt after that video.

Autostraddle Sports Club 12 years, 3 months agoFuck Brazil, both of their goals were bad calls. The penalty never should’ve been called and the other goal was offside. And I remember now why I can’t stand Marta, she needs to stop with the constant whining and diving. By the end the entire Brazilian team was engaging in one long dive and faked injury.
-
I thought Brazil deserved to be ahead on merit…until all the shenanigans started. Thoroughly unimpressed, if I wanted to see a bunch of drama queens falling over I’d watch the blokes play.
Bloody fantastic cross and goal to level though! Hope you’ve got a better record with penalties than England…
-
It’s the shenanigans that get to me, I hate watching that stuff.

Autostraddle Sports Club 12 years, 3 months agothere are no words to describe how i feel about that PK.
-
As a neutral, I have to say that was absolutely shocking. Solo did absolutely nothing wrong, you’ve been robbed USA!
-
I’ve been going ballistic at the calls the ref has and hasn’t made. That PK is so ridiculous, it wasn’t a red card, it wasn’t a foul, and then the fucking encroachment call. I’m still shaking with rage.
-
how does a player get carried off on a gurney, then get up on the sidelines and run away? :| this whole game has been a bit ridiculous
-
easy, Brazil is a dirty team who likes to fake injuries to get calls
-
and it’s the referee’s job to stop it.
-
-
well, she got a yellow card for that

Autostraddle Sports Club 12 years, 3 months agowoah, totally in shock at Japan beating Germany. Germany had so many chances, I was frustrated that Bajramaj or Popp weren’t subbed in early in the second half that could have made a huge difference.
Feel bad for England, they fought so hard to survive and get to penalty kicks and then when Smith hit hers so well despite the injury and the…[Read more]

Let’s see if USWNT takes them on or Marta… I mean Brazil.
-
yesss!!
-
not thrilled with the US’s performance, but it was inevitable with the way they wasted so many chances and their lack of finishing. Either they have to play better against Brazil or they’ll be coming home soon.
-
This WC is driving me insane, all of the games are great. US could do with better distribution and more patience in the final third of the field, esp from the center mids.

I did some googling, apparently it’s Jill Loyden one of the backup goalies
I saw that live and had noooo clue who she was. Went through the roster and still couldn’t tell so I’m glad you did some digging.
She may be family too, she rocked the plaid and the slouch hat in those player profile videos.
