Good luck Dangda. Imagine coming on as a sub when you're 0-7 down. What on earth can you do?

I don't know if it's more cruel to be on the end of having 13 goals put past you, or to see your opponents stop playing and basically taking pity on you. I feel like neither is a great option, and since there's no mercy rule and the competition isn't completely evenly matched, something like this is always possible.
I'm not a huge fan of players being told how they should celebrate scoring a goal, though. It's the World Cup. I feel like someone should be able to celebrate however they want after scoring a World Cup goal no matter when it comes. I don't see a lot of hand-wringing over male players celebrating in blowouts either. Don't recall Germany being told they weren't doing it the right way when they hammered Brazil. At a certain point, I'm in complete agreement with the "if you don't like it, then don't let it happen" school of thought.

So are teams like the USA, Germany, and France to blame for uneven results when they play teams like Thailand? It seems insulting to think along the lines of "this is the World Cup, and everyone has earned their places here, but this team really isn't up to snuff, so take it easy on them." It's obvious that the disparity between the teams are vast, but that's not something that the giants can control. Thailand's women's team is 34th in the world. That they're in the top 50 but so far off the level from a team like the US is something that's on FIFA, the federations, and the individual FAs.
This is a good thread:
