Sigh, reminds me of my soccer days in high school, before I realized martial arts might be my thing after all. Maybe someone from the fight network will find her and train her. She's high profile, aggressive, in killer shape, and she knows how to kick. I like her already.

A couple of those were ok. She retaliated for getting elbowed, and in another the opposition was lying on the ball. The hairpull...well, that was a bit uncalled for. The fisticuffs was surprising, but she had been elbowed already...you can see the ballboys?) applauding her too!

There's one nasty tackle there.

The biggest crime, as always, is diving that's not called.


I have no problem with any of those offences...except the hair yank. I mean suddenly and unexpectedly yanking someones head back like that is actually quite dangerous.

The rest...basically part of the rough and tumble of the game.

That's normal for soccer? Why are everyone's panties in a knot then? Yes, girls can play Sport too. And yes, girls can be very competitive when they play Sport. You know, they were having the exact same revelation over a century ago. Also, did you know there are 102,000,000 google results for "when were women allowed to participate in the olympics?" To put that into perspective, compare that to 34,700,000 results for "how to lose weight". How can people continue to be so moronically attached to the idea women aren't viciously competitive in sports?

Did you see how she pulled that hair right at the off-balance point? The other woman's legs went right out from beneath her. That was a thing of beauty.
