Allowing ties and picking regular season champions based on points (calculated on w/d/l points) are two of the best things in sports.

Most of them on the team definitely believe in Woke ideology. During the National Anthem a lot of them were disgraceful while the National Anthem played.

No, they weren't

Don't forget pro-rel. People on here trash soccer but the international system is one of the most free-market systems in the world.

Yep, a 1-1 draw is 10x more exciting than a 0-0 draw.

---

Not for those who use the word "pitch" for a soccer field. They also like to say "nil" and had it been a 0-0 tie, they would have been able to say "nil nil" which would excite them no end.

Would be a lot more fun if the worst teams in the NFL had to drop to a semi-pro league, and the best semi-pros got a shot at the NFL.

That's opposed to the worst teams getting a shot at the best upcoming players.

Who doesn't love finding joy in fellow Americans, all of whom are someone's daughters, not succeeding against other countries? Amirite?

---

Are they really "fellow Americans" when they don't believe in a single American ideal?

---

That they don't believe in some of your ideals doesn't make them less American. Or do you think conservative parents who have liberal children should not think of them as Americans?

---

Social media in other countries is showing how the Americans disrespect their Anthem.
That they have talent, is undoubtable.
The US soccer team is a good representative for a few things that the world hates about America ....the complete lack of humility, divisiveness arrogance.

---

The world is actually jealous that our citizens have the rights to speak/show their respect/disrespect that most of them have less rights in their own countries.

The world's view of Americans as historically arrogant is not just tied to a 2023 U.S. lady's sports team. Bending the knee as proud citizens is not our thing.

The NFL would be the most difficult league to do this in but baseball and basketball are built for pro-rel.

Honestly, if soccer didn't allow ties, I would watch a lot more of it. I hate that part of the game so much.

---

They only allow draws in the group stages in tournaments.

---

I understand...and in MLS and euro league soccer right? I think draws should be done away with period. Then I'll invest more time watching...if at least I know there is a payoff at the end. There should always be winners and losers. Baseball has always had this right.

---

I wrote the governing authorities with my suggestions to eliminate draws and gain more viewership in women's soccer. The innovations could well mean that women would be paid more than men. I have proposed the following:

Section 3.10
If a game ends in a draw, play will continue until one team scores a goal. Players must play naked during this extra period.

Section 3.11
The field will be flooded to a depth of six inches, giving the extra time a bit of a splash.

Section 3.11(a)
Each team will be able to designate three players on the opposing team who will play blindfolded, and two who will play with their shoelaces tied together. Should the laces come untied, or should a shoe come off, that player will face immediate ejection.

Section 3.12
No yellow cards or red cards are allowed during the extra time. Each player must commit some act which normally would result in a red card, failing to do so will result in immediate ejection. Throwing a punch, kicking an opposing player, or having sex on an inflatable raft are the acts required to remain in the game.

I have not gotten any sort of feedback, so I feel they are still in the discussion stage on all this.

If I recall correctly, the '99 championship game ended in a draw and was decided by a 5-4 shootout. One of the American players was credited with kicking the "winning goal", but I always felt more credit was due to the American goalie for being able to stop a point-blank kick.

---

Scurry definitely made an excellent save on the PK but Chastain still had to make her PK. Plenty of stars, including Messi have not even come close to putting the PK on frame.

I find alot of joy in seeing a bunch of leftist, American hating people , funded by the very country they bash, losing. I hope they keep losing.

I am not a soccer fan but I turned it on in about the 50th minute and thought I might watch 2 minutes. I ended up watching until the end and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. When the goal near the end was taken away for the offsides that was disappointing.

I actually hate someone like Von Miller who has been enriched by America through football taking a knee than these players doing the same.

It mist suck for you to not be able to watch the NFL, NBA, MLB, and most college games, including Aggie football.

Didn't root for Aggies when we were engaging in that BS. I should have qualified it to say "outspoken/activist anti-American libs". Like if Connor Weigman, or whoever, starts openly spouting off insane left wing bullsh** like Rapinoe does. Yeah, I'm out.

We'll probably suck again anyways, so would likely save me hours upon hours of my time in the fall.

Brilliant. Throw in at least one hungry lion in OT (and a few 300 blackouts just to give the women a chance), and I am in. I would pay/subscribe to watch that.

Probably and even if not I would certainly expect them to lose. But as a father of two girls I don't really take pleasure in trashing women's sports just because they're not as as physically gifted as men's athletes.

Scurry left her line early. It was blatant, but if the ref doesn't call it, whatever.

I remember Kristine Lilly saving a goal with her head.

That's a strange way of letting other people dictate how you live your life.

---

Not watching or turning off a TV show or sporting event because I don't support the participants or what they are pushing is hardly "letting anyone dictate how I live my life". I genuinely got more enjoyment and lasting fulfillment playing in the backyard yesterday evening for 30 minutes with my little girl in the almost unbearable heat than I ever would from the Ags winning a natty. And I would be super pumped about winning a natty. But watching football ain't "livin life".

No offense, but you get hung up on the weirdest things and strike out on the weakest "gotcha's". Who cares if I won't support outward liberal activism in sports?

Yes, and in addition, it wasnt just any group of boys off the street

It was the Dalas Texans soccer club. The best boys soccer players in Dallas, plus elite players from across the state. Probably close to 100% of them wil play at the college level

Here we go again the world saying America is such a bad place but no shortage of those wanting to come here.

Now there is a growing group wondering WTF is happening to us especially those in former soviet bloc countries.

When are the Russkies going to go ahead and field a Women's team of either straight up men or, like they used to, field a team of juiced women and just claim that they are transitioning?

I say that as a joke....but I am aware of the irony that in 2023, the good old USA is more likely to actually do this than any other country.

Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:

That's a weird take on your part. Sorry to have a conversation with you about it on a discussion board.

How is that a weird take? The man has children, and thus, he knows what those of us who have them (and are actually good parents) know...sports are entertainment, but they don't bring any lasting fulfillment. I absolutely agree with him. Watching some of our football players - most of whom couldn't get into school at A&M to save their lives but for their ability to play a game that was invented, grown, and currently exists at all because of the "evil white men" those students seemed to hate - was despicable. They were pawns (because most of them aren't smart enough to see it) in a larger game that theatens his family and children, as well as all of ours.

I somehow feel certain that this would not have happened if we had sent the U.S. "trans" team.
