Women's World Cup Post-Game Thread: Weep For Laure Boulleau

"I took the blows, I have bruises everywhere."

USA 3, FRANCE 1

I'm happy for the US and all (congratulations on advancing to the Women's World Cup Finals!). But I'm really feeling bad for Laure Boulleau. I would expect she'd need comforting right now, so I am happy to offer my services. And I'll learn French.

As another commenter in that forum remarked, "La petite Laure est très sympa".

Bottom photo captures players' reactions upon seeing Godzilla headed their way.

Sweden will take you down in the final, USA, so watch out!!!

I confess I'm staring at Laure fairly intently here (I will leave it to you whether it's in person, over a computer monitor, or through binoculars outside her window)...

Doesn't Laure Boulleau look a lot like lonelygirl15?

Swedes get meatballed by Japan, 3-1.

Sorry, Vma.

Sorry, SoSG readership.

Goodnight, moon.

Damn that first photo did not do her justice.

Tell Laure to watch out that dude (5) is about to hit her.

@FV

Yeah she looked better in the picture taken during the game, not when she was all showered and cooled off. Weird.

I would have preferred the shower pic.

Steve Sax said...

I'm fine with the first picture.

Steve Sax said...

Look out, Boulleau! (I can't believe I didn't think of this pun earlier.)

Fernie V said...

The first photo was nice but these are elite athletes, show me the bod.

Fernie V said...

Or maybe my imagination got the best of my mind, when I read she gives blows everywhere and her knees are all bruised.
