When heavyweights collide, the impact is always colossal.

First, there's the anticipation, and for feverish excitement, no match at this Women's World Cup has yet to compare to Friday's quarterfinal clash between the US and France.

There is a reason why ticket prices have gone in the same direction as the mercury during this week's European heat wave.

This is the world's top-ranked team going head-to-head against the fourth best team in the world. The defending champion versus the host. An irresistible attack against an uncompromising defense. It is "Le Grand Match." It is a match that is helping propel women's football even further into the sporting mainstream.

If she thinks USA is an awful country, then why did she accept the honor of playing on our national team?

Well, at least all the women on the women’s team stood for the Anthem.

Hey rollo tomasi, explain the name you chose to identify yourself with.

I told you mine is a common place name “Berlin_Freeper”.
A Freeper who currently lives in Berlin.

Why did you chose to identify as a creepy “bad guy who thinks he can get away with it” from a Hollyweird movie?

Hollyweird is very anti-Trump.

Only one player had kneeled.

Tell me, what do people have against Mallory Pugh(for example)?

I agree.

Actually, I’m going to go against the trend noted in my previous post and go with Brazil.

France sucks donkey balls. They had multiple shots on the goal, and MADE EXACTLY ONE.

Let’s hope the USA runs into better competition THAN THAT.

5 for 5 - very German-like. Two goals called back on replay that I thought could go either way..

Got to agree, when you recruit and push someone who is “anti USA” for a USA team it is hard to root for them-right now no!
