USWNT Getting Heat For Scoring Goals And Celebrating Joyfully At A World Cup

The USWNT defeated Thailand 13-0 on Tuesday, making actual analysis of the game about as meaningful as discussing who won the big fight between the ice cube and the Sun. 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.

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.
