US Women's soccer team is out in the round of 16!!
 
Is this one of the greatest upsets in the history of sports?

The US team had never finished worse than third at the Women’s World Cup.

With Brazil and Germany out as well, the rest of the world is catching up via the leadership the USA has provided for women's sports in the last 30 years. .

That's the beauty of sports and leadership, the rest of the world wants to beat your azz, and sweden is highly ranked, and has lost to the USA many, many times, so it was just a matter of time for them as well. .

As Julie Ertz said this morning: "You only rent this suit and then you pass it down to the next team. . "

This tournament the goalies have been phenomenal, all of them getting to the round of 16. . and the number of young women in countries which has never allowed womens' sports, such in the arab world, what a wake up call to them to join the rest of the world in a very unpredictable way to their culture

and they need to fire the coach tomorrow. .

The coach's decisions left a lot to be desired.

It was a very close game though in every way.

Real fans get up early and watch the game live.

If you don’t want a spoiler, avoid tv, radio, and the internet.

Both teams played very well today. Kind of came down to how well the players did under the pressure.

Kinda my thought as well. Seems as if a lot of people profess to like soccer because it is virtuous to like soccer.

Surfing ToTV shouldn't... A simple "Spoiler Alert" in you post title would be the polite thing to do...

If you want to be a kind person, Put "Spoiler Alert" in your thread title...

USA lost. Good riddance
 
I am so happy these prima donnas lost, especially the blue haired one.

Taltarzac725 08-06-2023 02:05 PM

They did not seem to have the expertise and spunk they had in 2019 and 2015.
2015 FIFA Women's World Cup - Wikipedia
2019 FIFA Women's World Cup - Wikipedia

It also seems a toss up as to who will end up winning.

Couldn't have happened to a better group of un-American Americans! IMO

They should go to another country that better aligns with their hate for the U.S. Maybe Iran would be a better place for them.
