"The flag was presented to us by four WWII veterans from the cemetery in Normandy in France back in January. We wanted something special to carry with us on this journey and we were fortunate to meet these four incredible veterans," Dell says. "And we walked through the cemetery with them as they were telling us their stories. the flag came down at 4 p.m. and the veterans presented it to the team. So, it's very dear to our heart. and I think it's a really cool culmination is starting in France, flying over American piece of land in France, us traveling with it on our journey and leading us to this tournament and then to a degree the flag coming home to carry us through this World Cup. It's very near to our hearts and means a lot to us."
Rapinoe is so obnoxious, I hope the USWNT loses every game.
Leave it to the sportswriters to look for weird angles. It’s a story that the U.S. won’t try to “dodge France?” If the U.S. wants to win the tournament, we have to play France sooner or later. I’d rather play France in a quarterfinal than in the championship game, with France playing at home.
Once in the knockout stages, most of the games will be decided by one goal, and several by penalties. These will be peer level teams, each of them fully capable, on any given day, of beating anyone in the field.
The U.S. will be a slight favorite in most games, but when a single shot, a ball off the crossbar, a penalty, or a great save can make the difference, that doesn’t mean much. The U.S. edge against the other top teams is mostly consistency and depth. But on any given day, flip a coin.
As long as they don’t have to play any boys U-17 teams!
I’ll be rooting for Chile today,
Maybe the men can MAGA next year in London.
