They got their asses beat again by the Swedish team. I hope they never again get a chance to stand on any podium of victory, ever. again!

I never like seeing the USWNT lose.


You guys can flame on me but I coached women’s soccer for 15 years.

When I search my emotions what I find is sadness of what has become the political position of the USWNT…

I won't flame you because I've always rooted for US athletes. At the same time, there are two countries within our borders right now. They don't represent the US one even if that's what's printed on their uniforms.

That's the sad truth right there.

Hopefully Sweden keeps winning so the US finishes second in Group G. Then they will have to play the Group F winner (Brazil or the Netherlands) in the knockout round. Either of those teams stand the best chance of winning and knocking the US out of the competition.

Inspiring: US Women's Soccer Team To Boycott Scoring Goals Until Racism Is Defeated
July 21st, 2021 - BabylonBee.com


TOKYO—People were stunned after the U.S. women's soccer team lost to Sweden in the Olympics this week by a score of 3-0—until the team revealed they are boycotting scoring any goals until racism is defeated.

"Yeah, we didn't score any goals against Sweden last night, but that was totally on purpose," said star player and beloved activist Megan Rapinoe. "This isn't the time to score goals—when America is still racist. We totally could have beaten Sweden but we decided as a team that no goals will be scored until complete equality has been achieved in America. Also, we demand a hefty raise."

Onlookers were stunned during the second half of the game when Rapinoe dribbled the ball all the way to Sweden's unprotected goal and whispered "This is for you, people of color," before kicking the ball straight into the air and running headfirst into the goalpost.

"This may be one of the most powerful performances in the history of sports," said Teen Vogue's sportswriter who has never watched sports.

The U.S. Women's team is demanding to remain in the Olympic tournament and promises to continue its streak of zero goals. Inspiring!

I'd like to know from anyone who watched the match if the two countries' National Anthems were played before the match and what did the team do if it was played.

They stood during the anthem and then took a knee before the kickoff for about 10 seconds. According to the media.

Thanks Bama, glad to see they at least respected our flag and anthem. Some of them have taken a knee during the playing of it in the past and I just wanted to know. I'd be willing to bet all the soccer teams will do the take a knee thing throughout the games.

I do know it. And find it more reliable than The NY Times or Washington Post.

Guess I should have gone with my first inclination…

Today, schadenfreude is spelled “US Women’s Soccer”

It seems that in actuality they are NOT the U.S. Women's Soccer Team, but rather the 'US Womens' Soccer Team... Roll Eyes

Personally, I hope they never win another game again. And I never say that about any team, not even the Bears. Fuck them.

Maybe that would set them straight?

It would be fun to watch the outrage of Rapinoe and the fans of women's soccer to have the entire team replaced with more capable trans-peoples, because trans- counts for more points than just being a woman, or even a lesbian, so the wokesters wouldn't have any ground to stand on based on their rules of the diversity game.
