Sorry your music career didn't work out like you hoped, --- TN soccer

Thanks for the clip. I re-watched and paused and I will admit that I cannot actually tell whether the ball goes under the keeper's seat, as I...

Guilty. I was incensed by Horan acting like she was playing roll-in with her neices or something twice in the six yard box.

Bad shots that happen to go in are not sustainable is the concern. It did seem like it was on the easy side and she still hit it directly at the...

She certainly contributed tonight. But her performance is more predictive than her goals. She’s just not that good.

I guess a trophy is a trophy— even a made up one. But whew this team is just not ready. Is Smith the best worst player ever? I mean looks...

Messi playing in both the Copa and the Olympics goes kind of goes unremarked while the idea that any US player could do this is too ridiculous to...

Sort of the premise of the whole thread to me -- if this is true, what minor sacrifies to the Copa roster are "worth" trying to chase some Olympic...

Track amd field and swimming are objective, individual sports. Soa re archery, canoeing, track cycling, golf, pentathlon, rowing, sailing, table...

Huh? Are you saying that a team with bigots is a more true and accurate national team? I guess you got me there. Would be pretty accurate.

I’m glad it’s not part of the government.

Say what you want. It's America, so you won't go to jail or get fined. But that doesn't mean there aren't consequences from other private...

Unfortunately, the US has only qualified once in the 20 years prior to that Olympics, so I am not counting on doing well there.

I think that's right, but I think the idea that only general sports fans and not "real" soccer fans care about the olympics is wrong. I wonder...

This tends to undermine a suggestion that real soccer fans shouldn’t care about the Olympics at all. There’s a grey scale here. The Olympics...

Precisely. It may not be possible. Or it may be possible, but not achieved despite good effort. What would be disappointing is to ignore the...

Well, that almost goes without saying! But just how wrong were they? Message boards have to survive, ya know.

Here are some numbers on US olympic soccer and Copa viewship that I could find quickly. I'm not saying doing well at the Olympics suddenly...

Without suggesting that the Olympics should take priority over Copa, I think it is possible to maximize the total benfits to US soccer by giving...

Gio was solid today, but it's not like he took over the game. When his team doesn't dominate possession, he will look more average because...

There’s a difference between a political view or opinion and a statement about what you claim IS right or wrong about other people. If you’re...

Yeah that was probably a little harsh just to use the quote, but Aiden doens't impress me with the Nats at all. And I've seen him look very good...

Thanks -- I had assumed it was Ramadan specific, and maybe it kind of is for some? -- but I couldn't find anything about it quickly.

Did anyone notice that Musah politely but firmly declined to shake Cindy Cone's hand in the medals line? What was that about? I'd appreciate...
