FULL TIME: The United States national team’s 2022 World Cup, a campaign begun with high hopes, marred by a scary injury to its star and then undone by three simple goals on a cool night outside of Qatar’s capital, is over after a 3-1 loss to the Netherlands.

The women’s team in the most upset. The socialist money sharing scheme ends at 6.5 million dollars.
Good news story of the day!
“While our players will just be ignored when they get back unless they fall over, grab their legs and scream in the airport terminal.”
Bravo!!

Yes, $6.5 million.
15 year old boys beat the WNT Champions.
Women are extremely inferior in certain spots.
I played against an NCAA Women’s Basketball star.
I couldn’t believe how easy she was to guard and score on.
At the time she was taller and heavier than I was.
I only played CYO organized ball, and mainly street ball.
Soccer is boring. The NFL is boring. I assume NASCAR is boring? All they do is drive in a circle.
Hurray. Tired of hearing about soccer.
I sometimes watch The World’s Strongest Man and CrossFit Games.
Same for 100m, 200m, and 400m World Championships.
Did anyone offer a quick pat-down?
No US players kneeled. No one had rainbow anything on their uniforms. I see so much crap here that just isn’t true.
I work even in my free time. That’s why I like baseball and football. I can listen to the action and look up from the laptop and catch the replay.

aren’t you special...
No, I’m not special and that’s the point.
Nobody is more disappointed by the loss (of money) than the women’s team.
We are just becoming jaded through constant leftist propaganda, and have come to expect the worst impulses in our political and socio-cultural elites. So while it may not have happened in this event, the kneeling etc. was done to the point of cultish obsequiousness and turned most right of center people off. That includes most of us here.
Why don’t they call them the Netherlanders?
CYO is great. I got cut by my HS basketball team and joined a CYO team. We scrimmaged the HS team and beat them by 40. I scored 22. Such sweet revenge. Shook the coaches hand afterwards - “Nice game Coach”. That was the highlight of my athletic career:)
If there were no touchdowns or field-goals, or dunk shots or three point plays, the U.S. had no chance.
Decent game by the US team, unfortunately, their defense is based on Fulham players and it showed. It’s a wonder how Mr. Robinson is employed by an EPL team, totally clueless, not only on the goals, but throughout the game: Dumfries ate him alive... Confirms that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link; in this case US defense...
