That game was beyond bad last night. I can't imagine people enjoyed that game. Playing Paraguay and Chile is a total waste of time and should be a scrimmage held at practice. Watching Trinity Rodman dance after scoring the 5th goal against tiny 16 year old players from Chile is embarrassing. They might as well just come and play one of our DMV girls club teams and televise it.

I agree. Not exactly prime time stuff, still too much hype w Trinity. Watched her at Audi field last season, and she would be good for 15 mins tops. The rest of the time was filled with jogging, complaining and being hurt. But the sponsors love her, so now we get to watch her dance after scoring on 16 year olds.

So the ladies should sit out in protest when US Soccer arranges a friendly against an opponent that's not worthy in your eyes?

You think everything in soccer is just about the win, when the coaches have their eyes on multiple things regarding individuals and the team tactical philosophy

You're not as smart as you think you. Doing something against a severely overmatched opponent is completely different than doing it against even a "medium" competitive opponent.

Just because you can pull a "poor" (skill not money) player's pants down and embarrass them it doesn't always translate to playing that way against an average to exceptional player.

As foe the dancing, act like you have been there and treat those players with a touch of respect. Recognize they are doing their best and you just happen to be better.

Wasn't it said to be a complete waste of time?

Other than Trinity, it wasn't like most of the top players were there either.

That is a good point, and good to watch our newer younger players.

"Trinity Rodman inks $2 million deal with Washington Spirit, becomes highest-paid woman in soccer"

This is what bothers him most

Doesn't bother me at all. You missed the point of the post completely. Trinity Rodman is the face of US women's soccer.

well enjoy the dancing against 16 year old's from Chile. the top 10 teams in the world have caught us. those countries have a development system and very deep pockets for women's soccer. we have a massively expensive ecnl youth league, college, politics and favorites. trinity rodman is not developing like she should be...she is popular and getting paid. Hopefully her new contract will continue to grow the NWSL to a much higher level.

Why were they playing 16 year olds? I went to a game against Canada last summer and that was a good match and the teams were both well matched.

Everyone said the rest of the world had caught up last time there was an international competition (Olympics) and the US ended up winning. Those predicting gloom and doom for years have been wrong over and again.
