Answer my question - Did we or did we not beat the European champions in the world cup with an old team? Yes or No? |
You know when someone has a losing argument: when they ask someone to rebut their post about national teams and then, after reading such rebuttal, ask people to stop talking about national teams.
I’d be happy to just talk about tonight’s final. But just to put a bow on the national team discussion, the prior poster is, yet again, making arguments without facts. The European teams sent 2nd and 3rd teams to play the US in 2020 and 2021? That was certainty not true of the Netherlands Olympic roster that lost to the US in the Olympics. It is also not true for the Spain game in 2020 - 9 of the 11 women that played in the game vs the US in 2019 also played in the 2020 game against the US, and the other 2 “new” players are first teamers. The US did the same, with Sonnett and Williams being the 2 players who played in 2020, but not in 2019 against Spain. The same I s true with England - 8 of the 11 players who played in the game vs the US in 2019 also played in the 2020 game against the US. I could go on, but it’s clear you like to spout fact-free arguments. Let’s just get back to talking college soccer. |

Please do not go on because you are an idiot. You know the USWNT did not win in the Olympics…right? They struggled. Sweden 3-0 lost New Zealand 6-1 win Australia 0-0 Netherlands 2-2 penalty kicks win Canada 1-0 lost Australia 4-3 win Not too good but in your world view dominant….oh they really showed those Europeans how to play soccer! Facts are facts as you say
The USWNT were having problems going in to the Olympics. The friendlies before the Olympics the European teams(particularly Sweden) not put their top lineups out and the USWNT struggled to get a draw. If you watched the games USWNT struggled with teams outside the top 25 Mexico and particularly Nigeria. If you watched the games it was fairly easy to see major holes in the USWNT. Maybe try watching a game? In the lead up to the Olympics the USWNT played Sweden(who played many of their 2nd and 3rd team players). Why because Sweden qualify for the Olympics and it was a friendly. The US was lucky to tie and did not look competitive let alone dominant. The US looked slow and unskilled with the exception of Lavelle and S. Mewis. They still had problems putting three passes together. The US played France who did not qualify for the Olympics and won 2-0. The US did not look great in that game either. They played Portugal who did not qualify for the Olympics either and won 1-0 in a game that should have been 0-0. Both France and Portugal looked uninterested in the game and played a mix of players because the game did not matter. Oh but the USWNT showed the world how to play soccer! |
Nobody wants to read this much. And, no one cares wht you think enough to read this. |
Why? Are you mormon? I am routing for FSU since they are in the ACC and that is the conference many schools close to this region are in. Also - to the two jackoffs arguing about the USWNT and foreign teams - this thread is about the NCAA Women's tourney. Nothing more. |
I rather see a roster full of Utah girls beat a roaster full of Swedish and Icelandic girls. |
Leading score for BYU is out after cheap tackle. Should have given a red. BYU was pressing Florida but now is a little lost. |
Did not see any Icelandic girls….just Portugal, Japan, China, Canada, UK, Jamaica, Ireland, Sweden and Bermuda…also Arlington and Stafford, Va…lol |
| Lauren Flynn from Yorktown playing really well on the Florida State backline. Local girl also called into u20 team this winter. |
| That should have been her second yellow. What is the ref doing??? Florida st should be a man down. |
Still rather see the Utah girls win. |
Yes too much of that tiki-taka foreign style being played …there are actually a Swedish and Portugal flag in the stands! ..lol the Florida St player has a gold medal from this summers Olympics!

| Very poor officiating. Ref swallowing his whistle at critical times. Howell should have been sent off. Then he doesn't give a PK in overtime that was borderline but usually gets called. |
