Yea, speaking mostly of Rapinoe.
Fixed it for you :laugh:
Dude you didn't get this memo? We defeated racism.
I thought you said you were keeping politics out of this thread.
USWNT-England was viewed by 7 million. Pretty good.
France-Croatia? 1 billion.
Barely a sideshow? Compared to the men's game, the women's game is the guy hucking tickets outside the stadium.
...
Peru beat Chile 3-0 in Copa. Most thought it was going to be the other way.
That's what happens when you apply consistent pressure!
I mean, if I were them, I'd be content to just let it be a controversy. I think Trump got into a flame war with her on Twitter, that only helps ratings because now everyone is talking about it.
If you feel that the US team does not represent your values...you are allowed to resign.
Like Jaelene Hinkle. She could have raised a big fuss and used her spotlight to get loads of attention. But...
I fully support anyone who feels they can't sing the anthem or salute or anything like that. I even support those who kneel, that's their right and it's a peaceful statement.
Rapinoe is not being...
Not sure if it was mentioned earlier but Tech's own Nomvula Kgoale plays for the South African national team (unfortunately they finished in the bottom of their group).
Seemed pretty disjointed in the first half. The youth showing. But we settled down and hit it when it counted.
Talk about a trial by fire.
Croatia v Russia was legendary.
I didnt want to root for Brazil but I have so. many. friends. I have about a brazilian Brazilian friends.
Now I just want England to lose.
To my mind, there are tons of sociotheological implications to the actions of the Japanese team and fans ;)
It certainly was publicity. All of a sudden people knew the USMNT existed. US fans might not care about soccer but they sure care if we lose.
I like Croatia but my masters advisor at Tech was from Serbia so I'd feel guilty.
So does this mean Iran will blow through the Group stage then lose 0-5 to an underdog?
Ronaldo is an ass but there's no denying that he's one of the greatest ever to play. He changes the whole game when he plays.
This Iceland defense is something else.
Some fantastic matches today.

I have a colleague from Iran. We laughed about this!
I'm more willing to excuse youth. Hopefully we learn from these experiences.
Good to see the teams acknowledging God's promise to never again destroy the earth with water.
