Still good to get out and play well in what was effectively a scrimmage. Each team in the group gets harder for them. They got an ideal schedule through the group stage. Today is the problem most team have with the US. They can sometimes hang for a half but the US is so fit that they continue to bring strong legs all game long. Chile will try to keep the ball from the US, and Sweden could actually be a good game--they are the only other decent team in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that makes me a misogynist -- I just enjoy the men's game more and if I have limited time to watch sporting events I'll choose just about anything over a women's team game. One notable exception is women's volleyball -- both indoor and beach. Love watching both of these during the Olympics. Only women's sport I will watch. Sometimes women's tennis can be hot as well. As long as it's not the Williams sisters. I guess I would watch another sport if I had a relative participating. That's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are celebrating US soccer on behalf of the men's team, which may not score a goal for the next 8 months. Yes, I found the celebrations excessive. Thankfully the Thai players didn't retaliate. I did not find the scoring excessive. Passing the ball around the defense for 45 minutes of keep away is more insulting than scoring, and if you watched, they could have scored 20 goals in the second half if they just lobbed balls into the box. Thailand couldn't keep possession for more than 2 passes. It was target practice and the US women were only going for goal when they had an easy path. But by dropping 13, they now have an even bigger target on them. I have no doubt that the outrage machine will be in high gear tomorrow. Stephen A.

I show evidence that I'm right, and then you just skip to B? I am all for people bettering themselves. What I'm not for is making up victimhood excuses to do so. For soccer, if your assertion "They aren't asking for equal pay, just pay commensurate with the revenue they generate" is or was right, I'd be 100% good with that..............Also, I do not know where the money comes from for the USWNT. They probably are as popular as the men's team in the US. I know more players and have for 20 years than I do on the men's side................But, I would think part of their money is based on entire world of FIFA/World Cup or whatever. And, there's no way you would see any men's WC game with 1/3 of the seats filled.............Especially between Scotland and England, when the game is in France. So, I'm open to hearing where the money comes from for the mens and womens national teams. As for basketball, I saw Breann Stewart get the ESPY after her senior year and then get up and complain about women's salaries. She wasn't even a pro yet..................And, unless things have changed, and I've done research and have not found that they have, the league losses money for the NBA. I saw a writer on twitter complain that the WNBA needs to expand because Cierra Dillard got cut after only 6 days (after the media has a big party because she got drafted) - because there are only 144 spots in the league............I asked the writer "Doesn't the league lose money?" and of course, never got a reply. Don't give me feels. Give me numbers. Here's some numbers. Apparently the Men's team uses the success of the Women's team to pad their numbers. Click and read some of the thread.
