Lilly said on her website that she did swear but it wasn't intended at the official's. I think the reason she hasn't been sent off before is she doesn't get involved in the scuffles and argument's that break out.

Here's what Lil wrote on her website - why not quote the whole part about the incident? Wink

I have been playing soccer my whole life and on the National Team for 19 years and today I received my first red card. Yes a red card. Now you want to know what I did to do to possibly deserve it, well I don�t think I did anything worthy of a red card, but some words may have gotten lost in translation.

I was frustrated because the lineswoman called off sides on us when it was a hand ball on the Holland player. So I said my frustrations to the lineswoman and I may have used a swear word in there��but it wasn�t anything derogatory to the lineswoman or the referee. However, the lineswoman thought she needed to have a word with the referee and after their chat, she walked up to me and gave me a red card. I was in awe and I was like �what?� even the Holland player said �come on ref.� I tried to ask why but all I got was a flip of the hand that said �off the field.� None the less I walked off the field and walked right into the locker room. There was a bout 10 minutes left in the game and we were winning 2-0 at the time.

So what is the moral of the story you must wonder, well be careful what you say and how you say something. I shouldn�t have reacted with such frustration and normally I don�t think I would have gotten a red card but this can happen and as a captain I have to be a better example. At least this wasn�t in the World Cup or qualifiers.

Tarpley has impressed me , she's growing in confidence with every game , not a bad player to have on the bench and works well for the team. Tasha Kai is looking better with every game , unlucky not to score today.

It was worth getting up at 4.30 for , there was no commentary mind but you got the feel of the atmosphere without anyone talking. Good goal by Lilly , it was made for her really. The U.S deserve to win the game. I think Lilly won the player of the tournament but I'm not sure. Anyway I'm well happy Very Happy

I am watching the final just now, not a bad game at all Smile

I like Tarpley (liked her before)
and Kai the most (didn't see much of her before) - quick feet that girl has Cool

And I've said that before & I'll say it again: Lilly is not human! Twisted Evil

And how nice of the tv people - showing Mitts even when she's miles away from the ball Rolling Eyes

Pff!
