I've been in New Zealand twice. The first time for about three weeks. Went to Auckland, Rotorua (important center of Maori culture), Napier (the...
You definitely have every right to respond. And to rant against players. I find it tedious.
Rants trashing players. Rants trashing coaches. All so tedious.
Reading this unfortunate news about Sam Mewis and Julie Ertz raises the question of how many members of the U.S. 2019 World Cup team will be our...
Well said above by BCFy and by cpthomas. BCFy's comparison to the Brazilian men's team seems right on the mark.
lil_one: Thanks so much for this detailed report on the CBA. This is extremely valuable and helpful.
Hey, didn't I read here--about 70 or 80 times, usually from the same one or two people--that Megan Rapinoe should have retired a decade ago? :-)
In my view, the U.S. hasn't looked like THE dominant women's soccer power since winning the World Cup in 2019. Part of it is that many other...
Just want to say that I've been to New Zealand in 2009 and 2014. It's a wonderful country. I've been to many places in the North and South...
Thank you, soccermutter, for this extremely insightful and helpful response. You've made so many important statements, among them making it clear...
I admire most of this post and have "repped" it. But could you please explain what you mean by: "Who has the power is not relevant." How could it...
LOL.
This isn't nearly enough, CookieRules. Yes, you've repeated the same damning rhetoric against Vlatko many times. But if you want him fired, you've...
Thank you for suggesting a replacement. I stand by my statement that 95% of those who say FIRE THE COACH--whether it's inside or outside of...
This is one of the reasons why I so deeply respect the many courageous U.S. women in various sports who have fought for equality and have...
Thank you, Siddhartha. The other part of this endless FIRE THE COACH refrain--in every sport--is that in 95% of cases the proponent never says...
I feel sad whenever a detailed, careful analysis like that offered by Siddhartha is inevitably followed with the simplistic FIRE THE COACH. In no...
With continued agreement with, respect for, and solidarity with you, 2233 soccer, and with McSkillz.
Wonderful. I'm also looking forward to your next 29 lines where you strongly denounce sexism.
Given blisset's two blasts--total of 26 lines--using phrases like "the Spanish Inquisition":--I just want to say, 2233 soccer, that I respect and...
Thank you, McSkillz. As a certified "old dude" (age 75), I completely agree with you. "Old dudes" should refrain here and everywhere from...
Four New York Times pieces on the report and the horrors: Kurt Streeter's column:...
Thank you again lil_one, for researching all this and all you've shared here--both the links and your own analysis. It's outrageous to read how...
Thanks so much for posting this report and the other documents. It's late here (NYC) and I'll try to read it all tomorrow. I've read the first...
Have a wonderful time!!!
