3-3 draw at home against the Red Bulls

Meanwhile Union in 1st place up a goal now against Orlando City

I should stan the Union on this board more, but I'm so scared it's all gonna fall apart when they inevitably choke.

And the world goes back to not caring about women’s soccer until 2023

Once the Prem takes over the Women's League in England its over. Putting big money into is gonna change everything and its gonna KILL any efforts for a real league in the USA. Girls gonna be coming outa high school to go play for Lyon/Arsenal/City/ManU etc.

Also, I think the "our best athletes don't play the sport" argument doesn't do it justice really. The system isn't made to create technically sound players. When you look at the USWNT Heath, Rapinoe, Lavelle, Mewis, and to some degree Morgan and technically sound as fukk. And that's just in the starting 11.

Name me ANY USMNT member that could dribble their way out of a paper bag. The men get told "be more athletic, have more hustle and you will win." And then the come up against a Belgium with a young Dries Mertens, Eden Hazard and KDB and got made fools of. If it wasn't for Timmy Howard that match woulda been like 14-0.

Marco Fabian still hurt?

Marco Fabian still hurt?

He just came back today to start. Scored on a glancing header. The fans haven't warmed to him because the 18 year old kid who replaced him was pretty good AND local, from South Jersey. Personally I think Fabian's been good in the little time he's played.

The real revelation has been this Cape Verdean midfielder they got, Monteiro. He's like a homeless man's Essien, maybe the best player they've ever had.

Nah bruh.I feel you on the coaching but the women get the same coaching. They still go through the college system. So what's the difference. The difference is baseball, Football, and basketball.

The USWNT looks technical compared to their peers because they had a big headstart.
