I'm still heartbroken by last night - I genuinely though England would go on to win the world cup.
However, even now am I so so so proud to be an English girl who plays football. The Lionesses have been so inspiring with their composure, their vision and their absolute class on and off the pitch.
So yeah, we didn't make the end, but we've paved the way for Women's Football to grow in our country. So many young people, boys and girls alike, have been inspired by this group of girls who showed nothing but pride and professionalism in their campaign.
Great things are coming now, I can see it. There's no point being sad because the future is bright. And when the day comes, where we get to lift that trophy high, we'll know the journey we went on to get there, and that we've fought tooth and nail to be the best.
And trust me when I say this - building up and working hard towards the top is so much more satisfying than sitting at the top for decades. Our day will come.
reporter: so...USA vs. France ends with a 2:1 ..that’s indeed very sad for France. It was a hard fight...but the US-Girls won once again.
uswnt-stans: OMGGGGG freakin best team ever! Freakin France didn’t stand a chance! holy shitballs did you see that game!? Freakin incredible! Clearly we’re the best team on this planet! #neverdoubtedit
me (a neutral): but ..you like...saw the game didn’t you? So you...saw how disrespectful und unfair your team was..right?
uswnt-stans: WTF!? NO! we would NEVER! We we’re cleeeearly the better team!
me (still a neutral):
lemme just remind you how the last 20 minutes of the uswnt playing looked like and what exactly they did ... running to the corner..doing absolutely...
uswnt-stans: EXCUSE me!? we never did that! Didn’t you see those goals!? Freakin bomb!
me: yeah...goals are way more important than respect and fair-play... how could i forget that...
me: so... you want me to be honest with you? that was the most disrespectful game i’ve seen since germany vs. china...
playing awesome and then just letting time run off the clock instead of properly playing soccer..shows me that your team doesn’t know how to be respectful. also... dancing like this
in front of the host is kinda very unnecessary. you just kicked out the team that has the deepest connection to this years wwc and you’re gonna be like that...srsly? nice work...wasn’t partying like you’ve won the wwc after winning 13:0 in the group stage enough already?
uswnt-stans: ....
everybody else that actually watched that game and wasn’t for the uswnt:
---------------------------
well now...in conclusion... if you wanna put me in the good old “haters gonna hate” compartment...go ahead... i’m fine with hating on unfair teams.
but if you actually care enough to have a proper discussion.. feel free to message me anytime.. until then..
