Controversial Goal Gives Nigeria A Helping Hand In Win Over South Korea

Nigeria put on an excellent performance Wednesday against South Korea, securing a 2-0 victory and a vital three points in Group A. However, instead of talking about Nigeria’s win, everybody seems to be talking about Nigeria’s first goal, a South Korea own goal, which was marred by controversy.

The goal came when a ball was played into South Korea’s box and was mishit by South Korean defender Kim Do-yeon, deflecting off her foot and into the goal.

The Best Moment Of USWNT Beating Thailand Actually Came Off The Pitch

The U.S. women national team’s 13-0 thrashing of Thailand was nothing short of incredible. Behind Alex Morgan’s record five goals, the USWNT set the record for most goals scored in a single World Cup game.

So we quickly moved on to one of the great, redundant bits of virtue signaling in sports — the argument over “running up the score.” 

FOX’s Women’s World Cup Coverage Is Everything Its Men’s World Cup Coverage Wasn’t

In 2018, for the first time ever, FOX owned the U.S. broadcast rights to the men’s World Cup. 

We hated it.

This year, for the second time ever, FOX owns the Women’s World Cup U.S. TV rights.

We almost hate to admit it, but FOX is doing a great job.

Most Goals Scored In A Single World Cup Game — Where The USWNT’s Demolition Of Thailand Ranks

The U.S. women’s national team ran rampant on Thailand on Tuesday. The last teams to kick off their tournament, the U.S. flirted with setting the record for most goals scored in a single World Cup game.

The U.S. finished with a 13-0 win over Thailand, including four goals scored over a six-minute span early in the second half, the fastest four goals in Women’s World Cup history.

USWNT Uses Opener To Experiment With Idea Of Putting Every Player In Attack

Many utilized the build-up to the USWNT’s World Cup opener against Thailand to criticize manager Jill Ellis, which is an ingenious position to take because you’re right if they win (“In spite of her!”) and you’re right if they lose (“Told ya!”), but after watching the States utilize “the Zdeněk Zeman method” at kick off before shifting into a sort of 2-3-5 in possession, I gotta say, I
