How much is too much celebrating?

Sounds like lots of different opinions on the US celebration of goals late in the game.

How would you advise your DD on celebrating the scoring of the 10th+ goal on an overmatched team?

Not questioning if they should have kept scoring, FIFA rules dictate that, only the behavior related to scoring late.

For the World Cup, I would advise my dd to keep the hammer down, attack and keep working the game plan as directed by the coach. As for celebration, I would advise her to take Emmitt Smith's approach to scoring, "act like you've been there before."

13 - 0 was being nice they should be glad it wasnt 20 0. If they got beat the same score you would hear a pin drop. A bunch of Liberals cryin if you ask me.

Agreed.  Score doesn't bother me at all.

But running around after scoring #10 or #11 like your just scored the World Cup winner in double overtime with time expiring?

If your dd's team were playing a team well below their skill level and celebrated like they won the World Cup after notching their 12th goal . . .

If you were on the opposing side, I am betting most of you would question whether the opposing team might just lack a little class . . . or humility.


If they didn't have a target on them before, they have sure put one there now.

I didn't watch this live ... I went home and watched the replay on Fox Sports after reading about all the "drama", news stories, etc... in the afternoon. I tried to remain as objective as possible already knowing the outcome of the match and what so many were up in arms about.

I thought it was a little tacky of the players on the field to be jumping into each others arms and "celebrating" those 10th/11th/12th/13th goals ... but it wasn't nearly as overboard as some people were making it out to be.

What I really didn't like (or what kind of irked me more than anything) was watching the BENCH carrying-on from the sideline the last 2 goals. To me ... that was much more disrespectful than the celebrations on the field.

It's the World Cup ... did Thailand earn the right to get there (yes) ... are they going to be "competitive" by any stretch of the imagination (no) ... Sweden is probably going to put 7-9 past them as well. This type of problem would arise in the Boys U11 Classic League Qualifiers where a #1/#2 would completely decimate an opposing team 18, 19, 20 to nil ... because goal-differential could be the deciding factor Week 1 for the automatic D1 Bye. Maybe .... the answer is limiting the number of Teams into a very competitive tournament if a team doesn't have a realistic chance to defend itself?

Same people crying about the goals and celebrations are the same ones that want participation trophies for everyone. GTFO it's the World Cup, biggest stage there is in soccer. Bring your A-game or don't come at all!! Someone please call the Waaam-bulance tell them to bring some french-cries...

I wish they had acted like they had been there before.

Question, what was worse by Rapinoe? Scissor kick celebration after goal 9 or her kneeling for the anthem(not this match)?

1) Who says that Rapinoe "kneeling" is bad? The very nature of your question alludes that her kneeling was somehow inherently wrong. She can do jumping jacks during the anthem for all I care. It is her right...how about respecting that? Her choice to protest is the most American of all her Captain duties

2) Agreed, the slide celebration was a bit over the top as the game was already out of hand. Be hapy. Be elated. Keep it to a dull roar.

3) Yo has bumper stickers of his favorite nascar driver, his beer of choice, a browning deer, MAGA, some sort of "my kid beat up your honor student" thing, and a confederate flag pasted all over his jacked up truck. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Whooaaa - pump the brakes there Robbie ... Joe Dirt (here) is "not" inferring that everyone should get a Participation Trophy LOL!!!  Truth be told, I think Participation Trophies are horrendous (but that's just my opinion)

It's the World Cup ... take no prisoners and WIN! ... but ... I think the "general consensus" is that the Celebrations once you take a double-digit lead against a far inferior opponent seemed "slightly obnoxious" to say the least.  I'll give the players a pass for the most part, but it was the Bench doing their little routine that left me scratching my head

The only thing that caught me eye that was disgraceful was.one of the players disrespecting the anthem and what it stands for. Pathetic. Dont spit on the people that paid for Old Glory.

Megan Rapinoe, SMH....

"I'll never sing the National Anthem again or put my hand on heart"

Then proceeds with over the top celebration on goal #9 against a third world country.

Two things, first, if this was men, you can guarantee a red card would be issued shortly there after along with Rapinoe exiting the field on a stretcher.

Second, since Rapinoe is so against our Country, perhaps she can get citizenship in Thailand and see how much celebrating she does there!!!

That is all.

I was thinking more on the lines of Siberia.

Mars..And you have been welcomed by, not a village idiot(though we have a few), in BigEgo, but a holier than thou know it all. There is only 1 way...the BigEgo way, otherwise he'll tell you that you are an idiot and feebly attempt to belittle you( in his own 'special' way, such as above). Pay him no mind, we don't. He has been known to disappear at times when direct questions are asked that expose him for what he is. Welcome to our forum.

Thanks spinner for the fantastically dubious intro!

And this ... "expose him for what he is" ... adorable  

The truth is you can count on zero hands how many times I've not responded directly to an objectively mannered question.  If you have a hankering to waste a bit of time, best of luck digging something up.  And if ya do happen to find something, I'd be happy to oblige.

BTW ... you're doin' a bang up job of paying me "no mind"

Yippie-ki-yay!

If you are all done 'Pissing on each others shoes' anyone have thoughts on the original question on How YOU would advise YOUR DD on CELEBRATING the 10th+ goal against an overmatched team?

If not, by all means, keep the other discussion flowing.

1) Lots of people which is why I posed the question. Hence the responses below your post.
2) All good here
3) No truck here, don't watch NASCAR. I have maybe a beer or two per week. I don't deer hunt and own no browning weapons. I don't own a MAGA hat, My girls are far from bullies (quite the opposite), Don't own a confederate flag.

Lots of assumptions made based on a single question that you read and hear across the interwebs.
She rubs people the wrong way with the no anthem and previous kneeling. You can agree with her or not, but people are still going to have opinions on both sides. Some had an issue with the celebrating. I was curious what people thought was worse. You I'd score for the celebration.

I'd advise to be more careful with assumptions.

I have advised my DD that on every World Cup goal she scores, she should keep it somewhere between Brandi Chastain and the dude in the Geico commercial.

This is getting a bit ridiculous.  Rapinoe (like her or not for her "stance" on the anthem) nailed it on the head...

"Honestly, if anyone wants to come at our team for not doing the right thing, not playing the right way, not being the right ambassador for the sport, they can come at us," Rapinoe said. "I think our only crime was an explosion of joy last night...  if our crime is joy, then we'll take that."

Now, let's go put up double digits against Chile.  Don't know about the rest of you, but I hope Ellis leaves the starting MF intact and keeps Ertz at CB.  If Sauerbrunn is healthy enough, put Dahlkamper on the bench.

Siberia is for communists and anti Americans.

"I'd advise to be more careful with assumptions." - LOL

Dearest Camacho, I think you need to work on your reading for comprehension before jumping to conclusions yourself there Sparky.  If you will care to slow down and actually READ again you will note that item #3 was directed at YO; but, you just go ahead with bumping your gums cutie pie... 

As such, I'D advise YOU to mind YOUR own assumptions or else be called to D.C. to appear in front of my Finance Committee.

Assumed you meant slang for You, Like Yo Truck. Didn't catch it was a shortened screen name. Touche, you got me on an assumption. All good here.
