Wonder what Hope is gonna say, she is doing commentary over here in UK and was saying the USA coach was crap lol
She is so aggressive
She is so aggressive
that goal differential 
Explain the bolded please
....?USWNT 13 - Thailand 0
Germany 8 - Estonia 0
France 4 - Andorra 0
Man I got some highlights to catch up on
But to be honest, I always see the biggest blowouts in women's sports. I mean in NCAA Women's basket ball it's not uncommon to see the 1st seed beat the 2nd or 3rd seed by 40-50 pts. The gulf in ability is mindblowing.

You ever heard of Title IX?
Title IX - Wikipedia
It's a law that passed to enforce gender equality in offering sports opportunities to men and women. If a school offers a men's sport, they have to offer a women's version.
Men's bb and American football make the most money in college sports, so the profits from those sports are used to fund the other sports, including the women's versions of those sports. So you see a rise in women playing soccer for scholarship opportunities after that law comes about. Gave us a huge head start.

What he said. It’s not a diss to the US but people should understand the full context.
Women's soccer is basically a co-efficient for how sexist you are as a country.Never thought of it that way

That second score was in the SEMIFINAL breh, and they eased up on the gas because they were playing the home team
Edit: I get where you are coming from though. If you don't want to watch that's your right. you're missing out on some good football though

Finally finished work, checked the score ...
:dahell12:
I know the women trying to be on par with the men's game, but have they ever considered making the goal smaller? Or is it not the same size as the men's? Some of these women are 5'0 and can't keep anything out.
Looking at these highlights... shyt, I could've been out there with 2 bum knees looking like a prime Romario.
