France vs. USA: 'A magnificent showcase' for the Women's World Cup
edition.cnn.com ^ | June 28, 2019 | Aimee Lewis

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.

I wonder how many of these players are Butch. We have a few in the USA team.

I’d prefer the two USA-haters Rapinoe and Kreiger tear hamstrings.

as long as these two are there, I'll say something that I never thought I'd ever say

Go France!

Why would anybody in their right mind cheer for a team that hates America more than anybody else?

If this hateful US Women’s team was playing Iran, I’d cheer for Iran.

I’m a huge soccer fan and support the USWNT. Saw them play Chile on 6/16 in Paris but I won’t lose any sleep if they get beat today.

The Rapinoe thing disgusts me. If I had a say, she and Krieger would never wear the USA uniform again.

You have to wonder about people who expect the USWNT to travel to Dallas to thrash a team of boys in a scrimmage game in front of their parents, friends and coaches.

Showcasing her hypocricy, huh????

She refused to stand for the anthem...She refused to put her hand over her heart...

She’s worthless, in my opinion....

Would rather watch a replay of a JV High School fixture; more talent without the entitled screeching/Anti-free market/Anti-Pres. Trump harpies display.(Despite playing for a NATIONAL team)
A few said they don't support President Trump.

But what you posted is interesting considering every time you post your name "rollo tomasi" is promoting Hollyweird.

Hypocrite much?

I will not cheer for the US team so long as she and any other member of the team continues to display an anti American sentiment. She should have been removed from the team immediately after making her comments. The team is supposed to represent America.

Today I will be cheering for France! May they utterly humiliate this anti American team.

Trump says a gay person running for president is ‘absolutely fine’
“I think it’s absolutely fine, I do. I think it’s great. I think it’s something that perhaps some people may have a problem with. I have no problem whatsoever, I think it’s good,” Trump told Steve Hilton, host of Fox News’ “The Next Revolution,”

Who said “thrash”?!?

How about just “win”. And you very well know this is NOT an isolated incident. They’ve lost to teenage boys teams in the past also.

I’m not going to argue. Everyone is certainly free to enjoy/watch whatever he/she chooses. But don’t pee down my leg and tell me it’s raining.

It is not high level soccer.

I’ll continue to watch Gold Cup and Copa America games instead. (Argentina/Venezuela and Colombia/Chile tonight).

That Brazil - Paraguay match was a good one. Felt sorry for the Paraguay player who missed that last PK.

The game that defines your sour view was a scrimmage in front of parents, friends and coaches of the boys. That’s a fact. If you have something else to be sour about them, provide it.

Btw: your pee fetish is showing.
