Landon is a fan

 

In fact I am trying with all my might to ignore men's World Cup, but apparently there is no way to avoid all news about it!

 

Incidentally, I think you're missing one word or another. Perhaps:
*North America's team
or
*America's rival team

 

Mexico is in North America. Costa Rica and Panama as well.

 

Im still in favor of the US team boycotting Russia 2018 based on Russian interference in the 2016 US elections. We need to draw a line in the sand regardless of the sacrifice!

There is no spoiler alert, no shock, no need for blood pressure mediation.
There is only one team - - the greatest team that sets atop the sports world.

 

Megan Rapinoe (with Sue Bird) repeats in ESPN's The Body Issue. Crystal Dunn joins the long list of USWNT players to bare all.

I can not belieeeeeeeve I missed this but yesterday was the 3-year anniversary of.......

 

Germany getting K.O.'d.

 

3 years ago today the USWNT added Star #3 to its crest.



Hopefully 1 year and 2 days from today they add Star #4.



Here's hoping that this time the team gets to wear a kit that celebrates America rather than one that celebrates Nike.

 

Since Semb and I have declared July as USWNT History Month......19 Years Ago.........


If anyone else watched this match in the Bellagio Sportsbook in Las Vegas, the guy running around, screaming, losing his mind was Yours Truly.

 

HCJE was interviewed on the FOX set on the postgame show after the 1st semi of the Meh Tournament.
> We've called up new players in this cycle, due to injuries we will continue to do so. Satisfied with mixture of new and vets.
> Success in WC will be determined by the players hunger.
> She scrutinizes threads on Big Soccer Forum for coaching insights
> "Defending Champs" label...she and Team stresses looking forward not back
> She feels US are favorites

332 days until you know what.

 

Nice try!

 

And now France has a real chance to hold them both.

People who write think pieces about sports seem to have stopped having a sense of history.

Ty Cobb is a Hall-of-Famer, for example.

 

That's a polite way of putting it. There should not be an ideological litmus test for professional athletes, or anyone else. We're fast approaching a society in which ThoughtCrime is outlawed according to the latest politically correct fashion.

 

Discovery: For those with access to NBC Sports Network (NBCSN), there are some live matches televised from the 2018 Women's Sevens Rugby World Cup starting in 15 minutes from now.

 

Looks like FS2 (Fox Sports 2) is televising the USWNT (U-20) games.

It appears all the matches from the first day of the tournament are being televised on FS1 and FS2.

Perhaps to celebrate/acknowledge the TON, FOX Soccer Plus is replaying a lot of USWNT matches leading up to Thursday. I counted 7 on their schedule before Thursday and these matches would have been originally broadcast by FOX Sports Something. FOX Soccer Plus is channel # 391 on DISH Network.

So the USWNT may wear this shade of green color at next year's World Cup?
Would make an interesting jersey, or at least this shade of green on white jersey.

 

There are many shades of “green.”

That to me looks like what I call “Hospital Green.” In 2011 they had the nurse kit, but now they might really putting their scrubs on?
