Domination.

There was no other way to describe the U.S. defeating Thailand on Tuesday night to kick off their Women’s World Cup title defense. The Americans poured on the goals and defeated Thailand 13-0 – the biggest blowout in the tournament’s history.

Alex Morgan delivered five goals in the match, which was tied for the most in Women’s World Cup history with fellow American Michelle Akers who did it in 1999 against Chinese Taipei.

What sex is Alex?

Need help with sex? This is a sports thread.

If he's confused about Alex Morgan, he clearly does need help. By the way, we should probably clue him in that Alex is one of the old married ladies on the team.

Did the women break any of the men’s league(s) world records?

They did nothing to ease off, even long after the game was a total rout; they did everything they could to run up the score and rub the Thai womens' faces in the dirt.

Soccer has limited substitutions. In most other sports, a coach would have cleared the bench. You can't do that in soccer. I do think Jill Ellis should have used her three substitutions earlier, but in a World Cup game, I think the team should be relentless on the field.

The best part of yesterday's result was that seven different players scored. That's important going forward. Soccer is like basketball in many ways. In both sports, there is such a thing as a scorer's mentality, which is a mix of confidence and aggressiveness. In a major tournament, you want your scorers engaged, relaxed and confident when they enter the game. That's especially important for the younger players who don't have World Cup experience.

You DON'T want players coming into a knockout round game against a peer level team, with the score tied or the U.S. down, and only then getting their first minutes and looking for their first goal. Getting a goal or two in the early games gets that monkey off a player's back and relaxes her going forward.

Backing off leads to sloppy play. There's no place for that in the first game of the World Cup.

Small technical obstacle soon to be overcome.

Nothing will stop this. There are .001% of the female population that competes in any sport. There is about 50% of women who still think Serena Williams could mop the floor with Nadal. When the truth is that Serena couldn’t beat the last place male contender in any major event.

As for Title IX they abused it anyway. Rowing scholarships? Give me a break.

Except, from the article:

a landmark decision with far-reaching ramifications for other women’s sports.

No.

Btw is that Chinese on your graphic?

Yes.

What does it mean?

Ancient Chinese mystery.

(I am inscrutable).

There are no words that will make soccer not gay.

That is my logic.

By your logic, if soccer is gay then bagster is gay.

- Ancient Chinese mystery.

The ancient Chinese mystery I am finding on Google is Chinese garbage bags.
And considering you named yourself bagster I was just wondering...
