Fair or Foul? Canadians rip US women's soccer team for "disgraceful" celebrations in 13-0 rout.

When Germany beat Brazil 7-1 in the 2014 world cup they didn't celebrate anywhere near as much as the US women's team did here.

What makes it worse is that the German game was the semi-final, not just a group stage.

And brazil were a much better team than Thailand! And they scored 6 less goals....

The US team should be ashamed.

It's Thailand not Taiwan you racist moron.

Thailand is a nickname for Taiwan. They are the same place. Like Indiana and Indianapolis.

WTF?

All lies. The Canadians celebrated Durant's injury with orgasmic glee, the bloodthirsty, neanderthal-like canucks howled like hyenas as the video replay of the injury was played over and over.

I can't stop laughing at this for some reason. Well done.

That's a good point...but I wouldn't put it under the heading of "sexism." More like...their behavior can be understood because of their circumstances.

I would add that women's soccer has not been around that long...not at this level anyway. So it could be that the sportsmanship...or maybe the empathy for one's fellow competitor...has yet not matured to the level of the men...simply due to less experience...rather than any inherent differences due to gender.

I laughed, too.

It's perfectly, stupidly written.

Which is worse, continuing to score, or going into a mode where they are obviously not trying to score? Has anyone ever seen more of a mismatch on the soccer field? Thailand could not do anything.

We have cheaters who celebrate far more, over running accomplishments that are mythical. No one has claimed any rules were broken here.

Not sure why Rojo thinks he knows soccer. Or anyone in this silly website. I'm glad the US women's soccer team demolished Thailand and celebrated every single of the 13 goals! Rojo is jealous that he was never a world class runner let alone world class athlete. In the near future when Eliud Kipchoge runs under 2:00 for the marathon, is he not allowed to celebrate? The more I read the bs Rojo vomits, the more I realize he is sexist.

There are high school teams in the US that could beat Taiwan.

Taiwan is not the only really bad team in this tournament.

What's your point? There are HS teams that could beat the US women as well.

Or did you mean to say "girls high school teams?"

They all play on professional clubs and a couple have played for US colleges and one is a US citizen. Heck, take a look at the Canadian team, pretty much every member of their team has played either at a US college or on a US club team (I know at least one was born in Colorado and went to Valor Christian) except one young lady who is only 18. Can't be too hard on the US when most of your team developed in the US. They should pull the work visas on Matheson, Rustad and Kyle (all play or played for US clubs and two went to US colleges).

I found some videos thanks a Wash Post commentator.

Here is how Germany didn't celebrate it's 6th goal against Brazil.

Netherlands 11-0 San Marino. Euro-Qualifying 2011. Huge blowout between a top team and a very weak team with double-digit goals; outcome never in doubt. So very comparable. Watch the muted celebrations; no one runs off the pitch; no one jumps on anyone. Robin van Persie scores 4 goals, and you can watch him barely react when he puts the 4th in at 7:45.

Videos came from a commentator at bottom of this article:

In defense of the American girls, in a classic Monty Python skit, the Bournemouth Gynaecologists did both run up the score against the Long John Silver Impersonators, and celebrate gleefully. The LGSs all had a wooden leg, and could only stand around and grunt 'Aaargh' as the gynaecologists danced around them. One of the docs even kicked the peg out from under the LGS goalie, as I remember. So indeed, there is precedent in the men's game.

Here is a comparable video:

Canada beating the Cubans in CONCACAF 2018 12-0.

Everybody seemed to celebrate their goal (subs probably celebrated more than the starters). I don't think it matters how much someone celebrates or in what manner as long as they aren't saying you suck to the other guy.

Comparing them to German men isn't really fair. If I had to compare German men versus US women on an emotional spectrum, it wouldn't even be close. I would expect that US women would be more emotional than German men. It reminds me of Robin Williams talking about German comedy:

Now that was funny?
