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

still early, but England France Germany Brazil all look strong.

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.

13-0 today. That’s a statement.

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 put politics aside during World Cup events. GO USA.

Not arguing the score, I fully understand goal differential. It's the antics that are offensive. As my high school coach told us all those years ago..."when you score try not to act like it's your first time."
