Flashback: FC Dallas under-15 boys squad beat the U.S. Women's National Team in a scrimmage
CBS ^

Posted on 07/07/2019 2:18:28 PM PDT by TigerClaws

In preparation for two upcoming friendlies against Russia, the U.S. women’s national team played the FC Dallas U-15 boys academy team on Sunday and fell 5-2, according to FC Dallas’ official website. This friendly came as the U.S. looked to tune up before taking on Russia on Thursday night in a friendly.

Just last month the U.S. lost the SheBelieves Cup, winning the first game over Germany 1-0 before losing to England (1-0) and France (3-0).

Of course, this match against the academy team was very informal and should not be a major cause for alarm. The U.S. surely wasn’t going all out, with the main goal being to get some minutes on the pitch, build chemistry when it comes to moving the ball around, improve defensive shape and get ready for Russia.

(trans) men should be kept from destroying women sports.

I think a US soccer team of trans men would teach Megan Rapinoe her true place in the scheme of things...

Invite them to the White House to troll the crap out of the dykes.

Athletes should be paid however their paying audiences (in tickets, TV audience, merchandise, etc.) justify.

That is exactly correct. The speed isn’t the same but the size of the field and goals are. I find it actually makes for good entertainment - it’s just different.

You are letting your hatred of the people cloud your judgement. Playing to stay toned up isn’t the same as playing for keeps. If they did to the U-15 boys what they did to Thailand they would be savaged in the press as bullies beating up on kids. It’s a no-win situation no matter what they do.

Most of us who rooted against Team USA don’t like soccer at all ... and we surely have no interest in supporting a team whose star player is an angry, stunted lesbian.

Rooting against the USA????? Are you serious as you even type this? A team of SJW who HATE America a disparage the president?? These team members are rooting against America. They act for themselves. They do NOT REPRESENT THIS COUNTRY.

You may want to be a little more specific and say what sport is being referenced.

I’m wondering why the national team would even compete in a game like that. There’s absolutely no upside to it.

"Remind me how many World Cup victories the US men have.

Talk about bad returns."

Apples to Romaine lettuce.

In the US, the top men athletes do not play soccer. They play football, baseball, basketball, and hockey.

In Europe, South America, Africa, the Caribbean, Soccer is a far more popular sport with men and therefore their best male athletes play that sport.

The US women are generally better to most of the rest of the women, because the women from the US have orders of magnitude more financial support and overall support and encouragement in general while growing up than most women from around the globe save for Europe.

It should be no surprise that the US women's team has more victories within their sport than the US men do.

Sorry about the double postings. It’s pretty common for forums to have code that prevents people from posting more than once every 30 seconds, which gives me an error instead of letting it go twice. For reasons unknown FR doesn’t have that feature.

I do. Money motivates the girls, for sure. But imagine the motivation of a million bucks for the young guys.

And anyway, the embarrassment of losing to a bunch of high school boys—that is humiliation.

Except, the US has much more population that European countries.

Enjoy your Apples and Romaine lettuce.

I’d say they did when they realized they were losing to a bunch of boys.

Playing light, just to make it interesting, that is understood but when they start getting their manly butts beat, they face humiliation— a motivation to win.

Except if you consider who we’re talking about. This bunch of bull dykes give less than a damn about anyone but themselves. For instance, consider how they bad-mouthed and denigrated several teams they defeated. But, what do I know?
