Norway: This ship is no longer a ship of love, it's a ship of vengeance, a gavel of justice against all that is wrong in the world, showing no mercy, as no mercy was shown to us.
Norway: The spark of love will now fuel the fires of destructive glory as I wage my war across the world with righteous fury.
Denmark: Legend has it that Björn still haunts the ship, stealing my fucking drinks.
Germany🙃….what was this game😐🫤… good job Denmark you all did amazing🙂🥳. All this talent on this team and yet we’re somehow playing like this. Not only can we see there’s a lack of communication on the pitch but there’s so many mistakes happening. This is like watching the US during the WC but worse… I’m thrilled other countries are catching up with those that were at the top for so long but the top countries still have so many talented players that I’m just really confused at this point. This is not just a managerial struggle this is an actual team struggle something isn’t clicking on the pitch and we can literally see it on each players face when a pass is turned over or someone was supposed to be somewhere and wasn’t.
The whole time we’ve been trying to find Popp and get the ball to her which leads us to turnovers or missed shots and I want Popp to score as much as the next person but if she can’t get open enough maybe let’s not pass to her let’s try to find literally any other person.
Missed shots happen cant even be mad at missed shots but I will be a bit grumpy that we called for a ball when we weren’t open… Like why are we doing that we aren’t open the other team could get it before us especially when there’s not just one opponent but two right there😭.
Defense!!! Where the, excuse my French, BUT WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU ALL KEEP DISAPPEARING TO?!? I swear half of the national teams defenses seem to just keep disappearing in these matches. There might be a total of one player who somehow makes it back to try to defend but the rest are still far behind. It’s the defense that keeps giving me anxiety in these games, midfield is is just out here doing their thing, forwards doing there’s, and then defense that likes to pretend they’re Houdini and preform the disappearing act on their keepers. Babes we can’t keep leaving the keepers like that😭. It’s like a game of chess okay the keeper is your queen and the goal is the king, if the ball gets by it’s checkmate, please protect your queen okay?
And while I love Frohms I’m hoping someone can explain why we don’t play AKB I haven’t seen her in a minute? Also not sure why we call Freigang up but hardly start her or sub her in? I sometimes wonder what would happen if we put the ones we sub-in into the staring line up and then sub-in the ones who would have started to see if it makes much of a difference.
Anyways guess I’ll be grumpy for the rest of this rainy day and type up this paper. Again congrats to Denmark this should be interesting to see who qualifies.
