No it's not. Sweden is the 6 ranked team. It's not like they lost to some bums

Yes, their heights make a big difference

USWNT couldn't do anything when it comes to corner plays

I wouldn't call Svitolina an unknown at all, unless you mean to casuals, but then again there's maybe like 5 recognizable WTA players to casuals. 

I'd say the women's soccer team was the bigger upset though, easily.

Hol up. This an actual quote?

 

[shogun]

Yo, roast beef always gotta say something. I didn't watch the game so I wanna know why she thinks they're cowards. From the posts in here it sounded like refs were giving the us some help.

Agree. That's why I put the stoneface in there. She has a habit of saying dumb things.

The competitor in me kind of sees where she's coming from. The way she described what Sweden did is equivalent to a team running a 4 corners, slow down offense in basketball. Or employing the hack-a-(bad-free-throw shooter) to slow a game down. I don't like that kind of thing and find it irritating. But cowardly? Nah. That's strategy and trying to maximize your opportunity to wins. Not cowardice.

She got sour grapes and sour beef.

I wish they showed race walking on tv.
