The VY era was as good as it gets for us and probably won't be matched before we die. Real talk
-
Floating the war tax idea wasn't a complete disaster. It reminded the media and voters that Beto is running for President.

7 UEFA teams in the quarterfinals is the story of the tournament. They had 5 in the super early years (91 and 95) but haven't had more than 4 since.

Waiting until the 85th minute to make your first sub when it is 90 degrees and the other team had 3 more days rest is just plain incompetence.
The longtime veterans have really run the USWNT since DiCicco left after the 99 WC. Sermanni tried to shake things up and the players basically staged a coup

this is a much more complete team. That team scored 14 goals all tournament. This team did that in just over 100 minutes of play.
In the end both teams had questions. The 2015 team answered theirs. Can this iteration?
This team is much deeper but the 2015 arguably had a better starting 11. I would take the entire 2015 back 5 over the 2019 back 5. I would also take a younger Rapinoe and Heath over an older Rapinoe and Heath. Lauren Holiday was a beast in 2015 and Carli Lloyd was the best player in the world. Morgan was hurt in both tourneys. Horan is an upgrade over Morgan Brian but that is the only clear improvement.
We have scored 4 goals in 3 games since Thailand that weren't OGs or PKs.
The team could use an elite coach.

For all the consternation about Spain, remember that the U.S. only beat a shit Colombia 2-0 in the Round of 16 in 2015 and a very average China 1-0 in the Final 8.

The emerging Euro powers are just passing the historically strong teams that are aging out of their golden generations (China is way past it while Japan, Brazil and Canada are in decline and Australia are treading water).
Germany, France and the U.S. still have the most depth as they have for the past decade.

Almost every article I have read re: USWNT is that the back line is very questionable and hasn't been tested by the level of competition.

This team is a well oiled machine. I need to make it a priority to watch every game from here on out because we might not see a women's team like this again for a long, long time.
Wait until you see the talent coming up through the ranks. The girls development in the US is insane. Every city in the country has an all-star team playing together from the age of 10 that practices as much as any girls around the world with just as good coaching and only play against other elite girls. We are talking 1000s of girls in every age group.

Horan is an absolute beast.

I'll watch either team ram things up the other team's ass(es).
Isn't that the halftime show?

Ertz is out this game. The US media fawns all over her and she provides leadership on the field and a threat from set pieces but she seems to give away the ball too cheaply in MF and is prone to a bad tackle imo.

Two Cameroon players needed medical attention at the end of the game but Fox was just like "who cares?" and went to US pregame coverage
They are losing to France or England in the Round of 16 regardless if whether those two live or die

i'd like to give jill ellis a cycle with the USMNT to see what she can do.
There is bit of a difference in the quality of the player pools relative to their competition

Huge goal for Cameroon. Might push them through to the KO stage.
They are in.

I take it that you're not a fan of the CWNT.

Probably less imagination and more of an insular social media circle combined with a lack of intellectual curiosity.
i.e, the Cloak Room

is there documented evidence that cities pay for one-way bus tickets to austin for their homeless? I've always heard that, but I have always assumed it's bullshit.

The pool of women's teams is way too shallow.
Something fucked up happened in the Asian qualifying that led to Thailand making it instead of North Korea (which would have been competitive). Thailand made the Women's World Cup by beating Palestine, Taiwan, Jordan and the Philippines.
The third CONCACAF bid should have gone to UEFA. Jamaica is horrid. The US and Canada had GDs of +24 and +23, respectively in their 4 CONCACAF qualifiers.

Point these assholes out on here and wherever the hell you meet them at in your daily life. Trumpkins do not deserve to be able to have any kind of a break. The moment they reveal their brand of idiocy they need every last thing they have supported flung right back in their face with no ability to give any kind of a retort for their completely un-American behavior.
They have to be shamed. By supporting Dotard they have given up any moral high ground (Lol I know it never existed to begin with). They deserve to have a monkey fling shit at them around the clock for what they have done. Their time shitting on our country and the good still left that it stands for needs to come to an end.
Yes!!! I agree with you that we should put them all in concentration camps!!!

We're separating families and putting them into camps in the desert where we further neglect them medically and socially. It's not much of a stretch, and we're following the same trajectory as early nazi germany, at least in tactics used to demonize groups as "other" and thus inferior. If you'd like I'd be happy to list some examples for you
Exactly. How soon we forget the Jews voluntarily walking hundreds of miles to Poland for work during WW2.
