So when you agree with their politics, it's not a distraction?
They had some key injuries and their coach struggled to put them in the best possible situation. If you think they lost because of their politics, you are out of touch.
Not one female deserves to be shutout of an opportunity to play on the women's national team because of her position. Nice gesture on her part to female athletes of the world.tylercsbn9 said:Ag with kids said:Kneeling for the anthem and then, later, standing, but refusing to put their hand over their hearts...Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:Somerset said:
I despise the politics so much on this team. I'm happy to see them sent home and shut down.
Besides equal pay, what were the politics of the team?
You know, the kind of petty political **** that people watch sports TO AVOID.
Rap was also all about bio men playing women's soccer
Probably mainly because she's washed up and it won't impact her career now
I didn't list Macario (Mewis, Press and a few others) because she hasn't played with the team in over a year so her loss should have had minimal impact to the WC. Pugh and Sauerbraunn's injury happend in the last few months which left Vlatko little time to adjust.Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:
You forgot the loss of Macario as well. I agree with everything you wrote.

The Posters here hate every player on the team, hate everyone on the coaching and training staff, hate every fan of the team or anyone who was associated or supported it in any way, and hate the country that funded and sent the team over there?
Or just hate a player or two in particular but are quite content that the entire organization and fanbase were disappointed just so that particular player or two were disappointed?
My thoughts exactly!!evan_aggie said:
Wait, there was a game? Who was playing?
If it can happen on a college team at U Penn with Lia Thomas, how much more on a national level where everyone has to appear united? Dissenting options have most definitely been muted.EclipseAg said:
We'll likely never know how much of a distraction -- or downright cancer -- Rapinoe and others were in the locker room.
The media is already bending over backwards to compile hagiographies of Rapinoe and paint her detractors as sexist, etc. So they would never dig into that storyline. Look what happened to Carli Lloyd when she dared to criticism them.
The other players are intimidated because they've seen how their teammates were bullied in the past for not going along with the protests.
But any time you have someone who puts his/her personal platform above the team, you have someone who is creating dissension. It's human nature. And dissension makes it difficult to perform as a team.
Tell me you've never been on a team, without telling me you've never been on a team.Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:
So they're incapable of compartmentalizing and being professionals? Sorry, I don't buy it. Just like I don't think a "lack of practice" led them to being knocked out. This team already had some flaws and injuries didn't help.
Some of you are acting like you won something because they lost. Lots of projecting.
And I don't agree with anything Rapinoe "fought for". So don't come at me with that weak ass *****
Bingo. You gonna be an asshole, better be right.

Soccer doesn't appear to be highest on her priority list...After the L at the World Cup today, Megan Rapinoe was asked what her favorite memory of playing for US soccer was.

Megan Rapinoe is a terrible person. She refused to even acknowledge a young fan when he had her sign his football. pic.twitter.com/fKR9xDRiH2

Sadly Morgan is just as crazy as Rapinoe. She's just hot and doesn't try harder to get in front of a microphone than to score like Rapinoe does.
Morgan is completely overrated in her looks , she looks like a mouse , no t and A either

No professional “athlete” can suck this hard. At a certain point of disgrace your pride steps in. The coach is forced to bench.
I’m now 100% convinced Megan Rapinoe intentionally sabotaged Team USA.
Real fans should be enraged ⚽️

When the most prominent player on the team says that THE MOST IMPORTANT THING she got out of playing for the USWNT is "equal pay", I'd say that there was not the focus on playing the sport that there should have been.Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:Iraq2xVeteran said:

Does not matter for the the team representing the country they disrespect and hate lost which was a good.evan_aggie said:

President Donald Trump has a few words for the masculine and totally not feminine US women’s soccer team that kneels for the US National Anthem and supports black supremacists in BLM.
