Doesn’t Canada have a trans player? Isn’t that an unfair advantage?

As long as Rappin-hoe and her “squad” weren’t in the final, I’m sure it was much more exciting than normal.

I believe this one wants an Addadicktome rather than an Apendicktome.

She’s a woman who calls herself-themselves-itself “non-binary,” neither man nor woman, but she still has all her plumbing and parts intact.

The problem is all in her head—for now, anyway.

I can see why Loyalist posted it he or she is from Canada. I’m just defending the game. I love it and will obviously watch any game. Just defending the game in that it’s so much more exciting when played by males as opposed to women. As evidenced by the fact that 13 and 14 year old boys clobbered the U.S. women.

Soccer: You watch as teams pass the ball around for twenty minutes. Finally there is a shot on goal. It is wide and high. A frustrated soccer hooligan stabs the person sitting next to you, and you leave. Final score 0-0.

Sorry, I just cannot get into women’s sports. I mean I supported my daughter when she played and all, but on TV it’s just boring compared with the men. Plus the fact a good percentage are man-hating dykes doesn’t help.

Soccer needs one player on each team that’s designated “slobberknocker”...Unknown to the other team who it is, they can, at any time, slobberknock one of the opponents...After that slobberknock, the title goes to another player who shall remain unknown...

Can’t you just see the nervousness when one has the ball???

I understand. I didn’t care about the game myself until I mentored a young boy who ended up having a high skill level. He’s playing college now and I learned to love the game. I played ice hockey right through college and I can easily say that soccer players at the highest levels are arguably better athletes and every bit as tough. Lots of players act like fools on the field and it really blemishes the game but if you are not extremely athletically gifted and tough then you won’t make it to any high level of soccer. Players are constantly suffering bone-on-bone hits as well as skull on skull.
I also believe that it is much easier to appreciate these things about the game if you go to see one live and close up.

I know where you’re coming from I just have the TV on as a backdrop while I’m doing other things. And as far as the U.S. women go I’m watching only to root against them. That pretty much goes for the U.S. men also.

Sounds like George Carlin’s idea on basketball....

Here’s another suggestion for basketball. I would allow twenty-five points for any ball that goes in the basket off another guy’s head. You’d see some good fights during those close games, I’ll tell you. And you’d increase the chance for serious injuries!
