(Reuters) - The United States' record 13-0 drubbing of Thailand at the Women's World Cup on Tuesday did not sit well with everybody, with opinion divided on whether the team should have so mercilessly punished a hapless opponent.
Striker Alex Morgan scored five times as the holders began their World Cup campaign with the largest margin of victory in either the men's or women's World Cup.
"Celebrating goals leaves a sour taste in my mouth like many of you. Curious to see if anyone apologises for this postgame," Twellman tweeted to his 327,000 followers. "Not sure why the #USWNT is 'wasting' any of their set plays when the score is 3-0. Bury then move on but don't use anything that could be needed in future games," he wrote."For all that have issue with many goals: for some players this is there first World Cup goal, and they should be excited," the scorer of a record 184 international goals tweeted to her 679,000 followers."Imagine it being you out there," she added.
