The US women's soccer team has been slammed for wildly celebrating every goal in their 13-0 defeat of Thailand.
The Women's World Cup favourites thrashed the minnows in Riems, France on Tuesday night and reacted to each goal as if it were their first.
Even the substitutes joined arms and jumped up and down with wide smiles - while Thai players were left in tears.
Commentators and fans on Twitter have described the jubilant celebrations as unsporting and even 'disgusting.'

Commentators and fans on Twitter have described the jubilant celebrations as unsporting and even 'disgusting'.
On Canadian sports channel TSN, former Canada players Clare Rustad and Kaylyn Kyle blasted the US team.
'I just think they could have won with some humility and grace, and they just couldn't manage to do that,' Rustad said.
'Celebrating goals later in the game like this is just completely unnecessary. What is this?'
Kyle agreed, saying: 'They're the No. 1 team in the world and for me, I'm disgusted, honestly.'
Several fans on Twitter also made their feelings known.
'I understand running up the score for goal difference but no need to celebrate every single goal like classless jerks,' one wrote.
Another added: 'Ok settle down USA... you're up 11-0 against Thailand.'
