Much to the chagrin and disdain of many my good American colleagues at this publication, I am a soccer fan. I love the beautiful game, its mesmerizing stars like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Renaldo. I appreciate the tactics, and even the ties, ties, ties. So this week I decided to give the women’s World Cup a try. I regret to inform you good readers that it is awful, and bordering on unwatchable. At first I couldn’t quite tell what the problem was. There were 22 people kicking a ball around with exceptional skill, tight triangle passing, counter attacks, everything I usually look for in a good fixture. So why was I bored out of my mind watching these games I tried to endure?

You forgot falling down and pretending to be hurt.
You may reconsider that statement, while some US team members are good looking, there are far too many female soccer players internationally that would leave you scratching your eyes out if you saw them in bikinis. Sexist I know but just try to find the cute ones during a game, do not worry you will not miss any of the action.
I won’t watch anything in which a participant disresp
I am shocked that any American does. Do people believe that it is only the military who must defend the flag? It is not.

We will see what the ratings bring. Morgan has made millions in endorsements. The women’s game is becoming more and more popular globally. Attendance is up. The World Cup appears to be a resounding success in France.
You are wrong, The offside rule as in hockey is what actually makes the game watchable. Without offsides you would have 9 attackers one defender and a goalie The nine attackers would stand in the opposing teams box waiting for the ball to be booted into the box. You would have basketball like scores and it would require no skill. I do like the idea of a smaller field for women. It would increase the pace of their game.
As opposed to kick run pass ref meeting commercial kick pass run ref meeting commercial kick run pass ref meeting commercial.
No need to apologize.
Lol! When did they get beat by the High Schoolers?
I would watch the Swedish Bikini team play soccer.
I would watch them play croquet and be riveted to my seat.
Woman soccer teams routinely play male JV HS soccer teams for practice because the boys that age have the same strength and endurance as fully grown females.
Amen. Major soccer events always bring out the detractors on FR. Besides being predictable, it is tedious and irrelevant.
You forgot to mention fall down like you were shot at the least bit of physical contact.
Doesn’t that give the lie to all of this garbage with strong, co-equal feminism/LGBTQ%*&^?
It’s hilarious to watch trannies hammer some woman in an MMA match. Of course it is stupid, and of course it is dangerous, yet the state sanctions these matches.
Solzhenitsyn wrote this passage about an ovation given some high party official that went on and on and on because nobody wanted to be spotted as the first person to stop clapping, and risk the consequences of that.
Russian figure skating girls, for comparison.
Well you could make it a drinking game. Camel toeses and camel noses.
Spotting a camel nose first is a foul and your opponents have to drink. Spotting a camel toe first is a score and you get to skip the next drink.
Google camel nose if you don’t know it refers to a budgie being smuggled.
What -- you aren't satisfied with 6 minutes of actual game play in a three hour game? Are you unAmerican or something? What would keep the American beer and nachos industries afloat if football were a continuous action game?
“But women’s soccer is unwatchable. It’s skill-less and boring. They can’t pass, trap or head worth a damn. And they got beat by a high school boys team? That sums it up.”
Not to even mention the ungrateful dyke activist with the chip on her shoulder. If not for FR, I wouldn’t even be aware of this nonsense. I don’t even consider this team to represent the USA, and I hope some Euroweenie team cleans their clock.
