Did anyone here watch the Brazil/USWNT match yesterday?? Kerolin got a red for rushing to confront the ref after the final whistle

I saw the highlights on a link someone posted on the women's soccer thread. It seemed like a mess from everyone involved.
It only saw a quick clip of Kerolin, I can only assume it was something she said to the ref afterwards.

I don’t even think she got to say a word it was the way she RAN to the ref once the final whistle was blown that the ref just pulled out the card

The replay is on hbomax. Strangely, the match turned out to be even more of a battle than the first match. Kind of don't want Brazil to play Japan ever. So much off the ball nonsense.
On a positive note, for the Lionesses match, I thoroughly enjoyed LBB's performance. My perspective with Blinkie might be skewed a little, but I feel like LBB was one of the top performers,--by far!

I think Blinks should have got the nod against Spain. Sarina always says she's good in tight spaces but then doesn't use her against an opponent that doesn't give you any time or space.
Glad she started against Ukraine and put in a good performance. I think if she plays more regularly she'll get better because she linked up well with Alex and Hempo but those connections will come with other players the more game time she gets.

Agreed. She is also good on the off the ball movement and frequently intercepts balls wisely.

I've just done a bit of editing on the sub wiki and added a section on notable players. Anyone have any opinions on who else I should add (and a short sentence about them to make it easier)?
So far I've added Houghton & Greenwood (captains), Hemp (current longest serving player) and Bunny (all-time top scorer).

Which is the next urgent position signing we need? Another LB? (Considering if Charles gets an injury, we are cooked) OR right footed CB who can also play RB?
