Looks like Bri is headed for Karen carpentersville! One extreme and then the other! The girl needs to find a happy medium- But she still can whine......gosh, not one word about getting fat because of her father-she admits she was globetrotting and piggin out! But damn it, she still complains about riding the pine... http://www.womenssoccer.com/players/319374.html "Scurry traveled after the World Cup, making various soccer-related appearances at events. But she also neglected her training and lost her focus. "I got a little out of shape," she said." A LITTLE?? "Scurry was called into the national team training camp in 2000, but as she tried to play herself back into shape she developed a stress fracture. By the time she recovered, Siri Mullinix had claimed the starting spot in goal. Scurry, a veteran of 103 international matches and the starter since 1994, was relegated to back-up duty for the Olympics. Always known as being rather brash, Scurry became miffed that she wasn't starting. A small part of her might have felt vindicated when Mullinix floundered in the gold medal match loss to Norway. "I personally still feel that if I was playing in the goal in the final we would have won it," Scurry said. "I'm just a big-game player. When it's on the line, I've been very successful." So she's happy Mullinix screwed up? What a team player!
welcom sirifan! Don't you think a person with a chicken heart would NOT want to be in goal in the Olympic Final? She has confidence, excuse her for that. I mean, we all know we don't want goalies to have any confidence. (I bet you knew that was coming) What if Scurry was in goal for the Olympics, and we still lost. I bet Siri would have said the same exact thing. All in all, I'm glad you're picking on someone who's actually American. Good for you. Shows your lack of taste doesn't just apply to Canadians. *grabs 10ft. pole and pats DW on the back*
Re: welcom sirifan! You know, it's easy to gloat over something you haven't done. And what she hadn't done was to be a reliable team player leading up to the Olys. Someone with a chicken heart is some one who still refuses to see that Mullinix's presence in the nets was due to Scurry's post WWC lack of fitness regimen. Someone who wants to make Mullinix feel like crap, and blame her for losing the olys is a totally selfish jerk. In reality, it was Bri's own fault that she let herself go, got out of shape, therefore got injured and gave Siri her chance. Say what you want about Mullinix, but she came on big for us in Bri's absence. Yeah the final was not a good game for her, but Bri should keep her big mouth shut and have some respect for someone who came in and carried what should have been Scurry's load. Nah, she's got more class than that-
i think bri should just shut up because in the 99 world cup lilly saved her @ss with that header or else China would be the defending champs rather than the USA
Re: Re: welcom sirifan! I agree with you there. Back then her self-confidence was completely unwarranted. I agee that you can't base everything on what you've done in the past. So she was with the team for a long time and did really well. So. She shouldn't have let herself go, she should have kept proving herself. But I wouldn't go as far as saying she had a chicken heart. Oh, and the last time I checked... soccer is a team sport. Lilly was where she was supposed to be.
Re: Re: Re: welcom sirifan! she was but if bri is SO great she should have been able to be there right?
Re: Re: Re: Re: welcom sirifan! by that rational, abby, mia, brandi, beene, cp, kluegal, soberro, mac, joy, foudy and all the rest are in scurry's boat too...
Re: Re: Re: Re: welcom sirifan! If Lil wasn't needed there it wouldn't be her job to cover that post, right?
She's figuring it out all on her own pipey! [Note to Siri fan: The beat fans would defend a child molester if it played on their team.] And I think we all recognize that it was Lilly's header that saved us from defeat!
Why because I have a difference of opinion? This is a personal attack. TOS violation Mods. A card should be in order. Damn straight! WAR LIL!
No because you can't make a post without referencing a ten foot pole. Typical beast fan response, or lack thereof...
1st off Bri being called Chicken LEgs is out of full respect that she has an incredible body. 2ndly Bri thinks (and knows) that b/c of what happen in 95' there is no way in hell a norway ball is going into her goal. maybe if it was china(or any other team) it could have been a different story and i think that is why she said what she did. 3rd Siri has the up most respect for Bri. that's a fact! 4th Lilly kicks ass!! 5th Bri is in the best shape of her life. she ************ed up and she knows and realized that and now has worked her ass off to have the body and the mental ablity she has. I'm the biggest Scurry fan. She is cool person and a sweetheart off the field. So of course i'm going to defend her. oh yes I also know Siri and think she is incredible too. (just so you know i'm not totally baised)
You started it nananananana Besides, my comment was directed to generic beast fans, not one person, as was yours. Some day pipey, you'll get it.
Besides, you know I'm right. KBG would come in here with, "I just saw the (accused) and she is the nicest sweetest person ever, and would never ever do anything like that. I vouch for all beat players, because as a Beast volunteer they let me do cool stuff like wipe them."
So you're generalizing all Beat fans as Child Molester supporters? Oh, did my ten foot pole comment hurt your feelings? *looks down* I'm so... not sorry. I mean, it was such a rude, callous, uncaring thing to say. *shakes head*
Of course not, I'm making a point that you people defend the indefensible. It's called an analogy! Look it up.
I'm sorry i wasn't going to say anything, but the heart and soul of my future job will be to stop child molestion, so this hurts me A LOT.
Oh please.... the heart and sole of my past track career was pole vaulting, so pipey's comment hurts me ALOT! Note to beat fans, grab dictionary, look up analogy!
