This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

If I recall correctly, by BabaGhanouj

the announcers, as Dillon says, largely avoided it. They showed Mattie and mentioned the injury. She had on a big boot, looking more like a cast, on her (right?) leg up to below the knee. So, who knows?

Despite her mistake (in judgment) for the goal, I didn't find Ashely Naylor necessarily bad. She looked athletic, fairly quick, perhaps quicker than Interian. She was lucky on the one stop. I thought that would be the game. Of course, I don't know much about goal keeping. I've watched games next to a college player and he will say something like, no, the goalie should never do that on a play that looked OK to me.
