President Macron, representing host country, was there. King of Netherlands, supporting his home team, was there. I find myself glad there was no US government representative. And I'd bet my retirement the occupant of the White House did NOT watch the game.

In a perfect world, Seattle Storm win another WNBA championship, Megan & Sue retire, get married and live happily ever after. Maybe get a cat.
I hereby volunteer to make their wedding cake.

It's a good thing they can't reproduce because their offspring would be a new race of super-beings who would enslave us all.
 
No
Their offspring would be great athletes, outspoken leaders and fun. And they can repreduce, both women are aging by athlete standards but still pre- monopause.
 
Congrats!! Clearly much better team than anyone else.

Gotta say though, don't particulary like Megan and Morgan. Morgan likes to dive and Megan seems to try to hard to be liked. Not because of Trump quotes, later she quoted Nipsey Hussle and said women should be pay equal LOL

Anyway, you play against Mexico soon, so good luck in that too!
 
I'm shocked those commies didn't throw the flag on the ground after they won.

I meant with each other. Probably that too, but it would require some science.

For now they'll settle for being on the cover of that ESPN Body edition.

You are really going to "LOL" about women being paid equal? Wow.

I got my US Citizenship this year and this is the first time I've ever felt proud of a US Team.

Congrats on your citizenship. I remember the proud feeling I had when my wife got her citizenship. This meant that she could wear an endless number of disguises and vote a lot of times for the Democrat. Tee, hee, it always worked.
 
Honestly, the reason they don't get paid as much is no one really gives a shit about women's soccer versus the men's.

Even the Men's US team (who suck ass) gets huge public watch parties if they do make the World Cup. The women's team gets...people at a bar in their 'Murrica costumes.

Well, this isn't true. The Portland Thorns draw huge crowds, they average 18,000, while the very popular men's Timbers team averages 21,000. According to your supposed beliefs, the women ought to be earning 6/7 as much as the mean and they are earning much less than that.

You think the Portland Thorns is anywhere near the level of excitement of the Timbers? That's just the stadium capacity. Talking about public watch parties and total reach. When the Thorns were in their final, were there huge watch parties at the Crystal Ballroom, etc?

You wear a Timbers jersey at Alaska Airlines, you get to board first.

I mean rah rah women, but to think they are anywhere near the same level as men is ridiculous.

I would like to see women get more but in interest, as shown by average attendance, men's soccer gets almost four times as many fans nationwide as women. Portland is the exception at 18K vs 21K.
I'm going to have to concede to you.

I think women should get the same share of revenue that men do, thats my issue. Men in basketball and soccer AFAIK get a much bigger chunk of the money that they bring in then the women.
 
Megan Rapinoe on Rachel Maddow tonight 6 PM
 
Never heard of the Portland Thorns. Seriously. Nothing American about the US women’s team, and they should maybe play under a different name as most Americans find them rude, arrogant, self-absorbed, unsportsmanlike, anti-American and actively hateful towards any Americans who exercise Freedom of speech. Their disgusting dragging and walking on the flag will be the image that defines them forever.

Yeah! America should be for old white men only, right? All the rest of you, get off Maris's lawn!

So you're saying French people are better? Kinda surprised that would be YOUR take, but okay.

The take is that everyone cares about the MEN'S World Cup. If the US Mens team made it into the World Cup at all, their first match would probably have more people watching than the Women's Final.


The US doesn't give a shit about soccer versus the rest of the world. Women's soccer is even worse in terms on interest.

Add to that the team has a bunch of politicizing players on it and stepped on the flag after celebrating the win.

I favor improved benefits but not necessarily improved pay due to the difference in revenue generated. Portland is something of an exception.
