Women's World Cup - oman - 06-07-2015
1) I still think parity is a way's away.
2) Still pissed about the artificial turf.
3) Women's games aren't called near tightly enough. Skilled and beautiful soccer suffers because the officials allow mauling to occur all too frequently.

But then again, Stanford has at least one representative: Christen Press, of the US.

The artificial turf was a big mistake, and illustrates that FIFA really doesn't care much about the women's game. (The men's game pays the bills and bribes after all).

Press with a goal in the opening game against Australia: https://vine.co/v/eO7OHr9VlQt

Not just A goal, but THE game winner. Made it look easy, but placed it right where the GK had no chance.

The Australian goalkeeper looks very sloth-like in that clip. Great take though.

I liked that goal, not so much because of the goal itself, but because of how well it was set up.
