hail2skins Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I'm not a soccer fan and not really emotional one way or the other about how the national team performs. But it's sad that probably half the country was cheering against the women's team because they...gasp!....deigned to not sing the anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the team slammed the US or… I don’t know…burned a flag or something while at the World Cup it would have pissed me off. If you don’t like the country, then you shouldn’t be representing the nation in a global tournament. This isn’t a club tournament, it’s all about repping your country. That’s what makes it special. They did not, to my knowledge do anything of the sort. Standing (or kneeling) for rights, progress, or greater awareness is not anti-American in the slightest. Right wing lunatics clearly don’t understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Rapinoe shouldn't been on roster. And putting her in was the worst move since Ron went to Wentz for the Cleveland game. Oof. Japan would have worked us, but still a tough way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my kids play competitively and I used to coach, so we were watching. We watch a ton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I am shocked. Didn't get to watch, but they barely eeeeeeeked by Jamaica on the skin of stoppage time goal to force OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 They were pretty dominant against Mexico. They played a very pretty passing attack style attempting/making many connections I don't think they would have even tried 10 years ago. We are seeing the progression of a generation of players who spend their prime years playing in overseas leagues. We finally looked like the team we were promised when we failed to make the World Cup (time before last) and were told not to worry the pipeline looked good. It does. I will say that game is a reminder why it sucked Reyna was played more in the last world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
