RaoulDuke79 3,919 Posted June 9, 2019 I'll watch the US women. I just hope the focus stays on the game and not the lawsuit or whatever else they have an issue with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fans weren't happy when they lost to Jamaica, and now they getting torched by a country who can barely feed their citizens. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy KGB 3,947 Posted June 9, 2019 Watching Cade McNown, Jake Plummer, and Chris Chandler in this rerun skills challenge > anything with a soccer ball involved except Kicking and Screaming and Ladybugs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm watching now....RJ is leading heading into the last event. I wonder how badly he'll blow it. Also, every episode I've watched, McNabb is horrible. But yes, I'll watch some girls soccer with my kids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nextmanup 2,197 Posted June 10, 2019 I'm a big fan of soccer and watched the opening match as well as Germany vs. China. Had the Italian game recorded earlier today and I'll watch that too. Looking forward to seeing the USA, who probably has the most potent front 3 in the tournament. But the level of play of even a team like Germany (one of the favorites) is kind of tough to watch. The level of play in some respects is below watching St. Joe's play Canisius in boys high school soccer. When I was at St. Joe's, a buddy of mine was on the team and he went on onto play at the college level. He was about 6'3" and 195 lbs. in high school; one time he took a shot from near midfield, hit the crossbar, and the entire net bounced around. His level of athleticism as a teenager who would later go on to achieve basically nothing (LOL) in soccer is higher than what these women are capable of at the elite World Cup level. It's a slow moving game with a lot of weak legs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
