For the first time since 2011, the U.S. trailed at halftime in a World Cup game.

Are they really Team USA if they don't seem interested in singing the national anthem?

[Fai Mao]

Soccer and golf are about the only way dikes can have their own balls

I’m a vet, and I never sing the anthem.
Stand at attention with hand on heart is more respectful behavior.
I’m not saying they are on my side though.

[George from New England]

With all the trans crap I don’t care about ANY sport anymore.

[EEGator]

You have the correct answer.

[Jim W N]

Women’s soccer is playing the Neanderthals?

OK.

[escapefromboston]

Sounds really exciting

[skeeter]

Hah? Someone is playing a game somewhere?

[fhayek]

Strike one - it's soccer.
Strike two - it's women's soccer. Strike three - it's women's soccer played by a bunch of unpatriotic ingrates.

I think I'll pass. I have more important things to do, like wash the inside of by vacuum cleaner hose.

Something unusual is happening to me ... I find myself ROOTING AGAINST the team representing my country ....

Hard to have any interest in a sport that can be dominated by a good middle-school boys team - and has

Honestly, I'm not sure what they represent.

(ROOTING AGAINST)

In Women’s Soccer ⚽⚽⚽......

They won’t. The only excuse I will make for them is the adrenaline before a competition produces anxiety/restlessness.
Not every chick is a purple haired dyke.
That said, I will view zero games.
The only thing I still watch is tennis.
That still pisses me off because they won’t show Russian or Belarusian flags.
It’s amazingly childish.

You only need 1 ball to play women’s Rugby.

They need to deal with it, and respect our anthem if they want to represent our country.

[kabar]

Only five or six placed their hand over their hearts. Five the first game and six the second game. Disgraceful.

As a vet you should know during anthem you stand at attention. Hand on heart is for the Pledge of Allegiance. Not being an ass, just pointing it out. :)
