Women's World Cup

European teams are looking strong, so far. The Asian and African teams need to kick it up a notch.

USMNT is an embarrassment losing to Venezuela

The Thai team isn't fast enough to repeatedly pack the box. I think they're going to tire out just after the half.

The competition isn't great, but the USWNT is looking pretty tight.

Rapinoe is even more of a beast than when she was backing Wambaugh up.

It's a statement, but not something to be proud off imo. Combined with Rapinoe's pre tournament anti American rants, and the incessant over celebration of each goal, this is not a team that represents America well. They should be ashamed on the whole I think, and that'll just about do it for me and US women's soccer going forward. Kind of hoping for them to get a beat down delivered to them in the next week or so. Just my .02.

Goal differential matters in group play. If I based my entertainment on what athletes, actors, and so-called celebrities I wouldn't have much. For the most part, I don't pay any attention to them.

Yes, sadly for Thai, Sweden is going to have to try to put a similar score on them as, if US beats Chile as expected(Sweden beat them 2-0), and Sweden and US draw in their match, they go to goal difference to see who wins Group.

I am old school. I still can’t believe that Americans watch soccer.

I tried, I really did. Got a smoke, something cool to drink...okay I GOT to see what Tommy sees in this...It took me until I was in my mid 40's to 'get' baseball..maybe if I sit I can get into it...



I didn't. WAY too much artificial drama, WAY too much field and too little people on the field. I usta play soccer on the playground in the late 70's...what I was seeing now was nothing like that was....


Oh well...enjoy boys...
