Elizabeth Lambert - WTF?

Elizabeth Lambert of New Mexico Lobos women's soccer suspended for rough play - ESPN

Any soccer refs care to explain why this was allowed to continue?

Someone choked... plain and simple. There is no way 3 officials missed all these things but I can't explain why nothing was called. She would have been sent off very early in my game!

First of all, we have to understand that none of us were there, on the field, calling the game. So, there's the whole YHTBT aspect to take into consideration.

As I was watching the highlight reel, my first thought was that she was watching the refs, and only getting aggressive when she thought they were not looking. Then I realized that a number of the incidents happened around the ball. Surely, ONE of the referees would have seen more than the one that got yellow carded.

I'm just glad that the camera picked up her behavior and has led to her suspension.

You bet, she played with the worst sportsmanship ever. She was basically cheating. Thats horrible. I don't want anyone to get ahead like that.
I think you have to be good at your sport, not a cheater.
