I'm going to the China-Netherlands Canada-New Zealand double header Thursday. Should be a great afternoon/evening out with the family.
Move along nothing to see here.

I watched a part of the England-Mexico game yesterday. I was NOT impressed with the skill level and the game was boring as shit.
That said, I am glad women's soccer exists...I just can't watch it.They think I do not know a buttload of crap about the Gospel, but I do.

Watching US vs. Nigeria now - SOO much better than Norway vs. Ivory Coast last night. Watching Ivory Coast was driving me nuts. It didn't help that the commentators kept pointing it out, but you would think that even the worst of the teams could, I don't know, learn to play with both feet?!? I mean, the girls on my daughter's U10 team could do that. I have to admit, the Ivory Coast goal was a beauty though.

Well, I heard the announcers were saying the U.S. looked good against Nigeria, and they had it wrapped up. Seeing it live we thought they looked sloppy, and that the coach doesn't know the line-up yet. In our group, 2 people say they'll bow out in the final 4, and one thought they'd only make the group of 8. Any predictions?

The USA looked like shit vs an inferior opponent. The game announcers all fucking THREE of them sure did their best to blow sunshine up everyone's ass just like all the other games. Why is there the need to have three announcers for women's games? You never, ever see that in the men's game. All of the broadcasts are over the top in how earnest they are in a way that lacks authenticity to what is happening on the field and just feels forced. The broadcasters need to shut the fuck up for more than two seconds. It's ok to let the game be played and not talk constantly. See NBC EPL broadcasts for much better commentating.
There simply isn't enough talent in the world for there to be 24 teams at the women's WC. 16 was a much better number. The gulf in talent from the best teams to those below is massive compared to the men's game.
Overall, I have found the US games fun to watch and some of the others ok as well. However, nothing compelling has happened yet to get most of the country spontaneously interested beyond the usual title 9 obligations.

Looking at the knock-out brackets, I'm picking Germany over Norway in the final, with the U.S. Taking 3'rd over Japan. Too bad Sweden drew Germany in the first knock-out round - they are actually pretty good and don't deserve to go home so early. I couldn't believe the German lady on the wrap-up broadcast picked Australia to go to the final. Did she not watch the game against the U.S.? U.S. Got 3 of their 4 round robin goals against Australia and it really wasn't that close.
I don't know what to think of some of the round-robin performances against lesser teams. It could be they just didn't put in a full effort or they could have just not prepared for those teams. Regardless, I didn't see any real upsets as far as which teams got through to the knock-out rounds.

I fucking love soccer.
I don't care who wins this though.
Copa America is where it's at.They think I do not know a buttload of crap about the Gospel, but I do.

I agree- I thought the midfield looked very sloppy. Nigerians had some excellent opportunities, and Dede (GK) was on fire.
I say they make it through the 16's, but the QF's will be a match. Going to be a tough one against Colombia though. If China beats Cameroon (thoughts?) then USA will have a pretty straight shot to the Semis. If Cameroon wins, and USA wins, that QF match might be the best game of the Tourney.
Going to the QF on the 27th, looking forward to it!

The USA can win it all on the back of the defense, but it won't be easy.

On a whim we're going to Japan v. Netherlands Tuesday. My nephew wears a lot of orange.
Thoughts on China/Camaroon? Maybe the Chinese coach can straddle another player for the win.Last edited by plugboots; 06-19-2015 at 07:40 AM.

Watching the Canada v Switzerland game. The quality, or lack thereof, makes this almost unwatchable.
The Fox sports commentators also sound completely ignorant of the laws of the game."...if you're not doing a double flip cork something, skiing spines in Haines, or doing double flip cork somethings off spines in Haines, you're pretty much just gaping."

The women have my admiration for not crying like pussies every time they fall down. Unlike the men that lay down faking injury, the women generally pop back up and get after it.

no posts from tonight's game? That red card seem a little harsh to anyone else?
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Meh - I thought the game was called fairly. Can't give the red to the goalie if you don't give the yellows to the U.S. Players. Rapinoe got her card because she had committed several fouls of increasing intensity in a short period of time. If you watch it back you'll see it. The foul she got the card for wasn't that bad, I'll give you that.
Man, England was my bracket buster. They played much better than I expected. Norway should have sat on the 1 goal lead, but then they got that goal pretty early. Still, England schooled them once they got the lead. Hate to say it, but the U.S. Side of the bracket is MUCH stronger! Germany, the U.S. And China are all much better than anyone on the other side of the bracket.
