Asked about the lopsided score, U.S. coach Jill Ellis wondered if a 10-0 victory in a men's World Cup would prompt the same questions.

[...] 
"For all that have issue with many goals: for some players this is there first World Cup goal, and they should be excited. Imagine it being you out there. This is your dream of playing and then scoring in a World Cup. Celebrate. Would you tell a men’s team to not score or celebrate?" she tweeted.

It's not about the amount of goals. It's about the lack of humility displayed by some of the US players approaching 13 goals. This is not about gender; how many times did we watch Canada World Juniors barely react to goals scored once a game was out of reach? How about the humility shown by the Canadian Women's hockey teams? The celebrations beyond the double digit goal mark was the problem, and some members of the US Women's Soccer team lack insight.
