I love soccer. I absolutely love both the men’s and women’s World Cup. But if the US women lose today I will be just fine with it. It’s unreal how politically charged a simple soccer tournament has become. I won’t miss all the stories about how defiant and brave these players are because they swear at a sitting president. Sorry for being a downer.
No problem really. The English love their football and going to the final would be an achievement for them.
They’re up against the unbeaten top ranked team in the world and will have to work hard for it.
USA is the favorite here because everyone expects them to win.
On another note, I read about the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees playing a couple of games in London over the weekend. I think some 50+ runs were scored in those two games. What an introduction to the sport that must have been to the London people. They are probably saying that the Americans can keep their four-hour high-scoring game with all those pitching changes. Just like we tell them they can keep their boring low-scoring game of soccer.
No worries. I think your opinion is among the majority 'round here.
