Come on. What else have you lied about?

[Berlin_Freeper]

For your sake I hope you are a deranged drunk.
At least that would leave room for hope.

[Conserv]

I hope you stop lying your @ss off.

Football has taken root here - the men’s pro league is profitable and someday the US men will win a World Cup title.

Tonight they can win a back to back.regional title. A Gold Cup would be the cherry on top of the sundae tonight!

[Berlin_Freeper]

GO USMNT!
WIN! WIN! WIN!

Soccer.. Ugh! .. I’d rather watch paint dry that was already dried!

Maybe if I was an insomniac, no not even then!

“Real” injuries? Torn ACL’s and concussions are epidemic in women’s soccer.

Won't be near a tv or even a phone (Except emergencies) tonight unfortunately. Will catch some first half COPA though.

Hope US men match their female counterparts tonight!

[glennaro]

Com'on now ... play nice! (Though I admit that to me your interactions have been more entertaining than the soccer match.)

Cheers to you both!

[Stravinsky]

Congrats to the anti-American trash!

A kick to the upper rib cage is a penalty. If it happens in the box as an attacker is playing the ball, it draws a PK.

Rapinoe has scored three goals in the tournament. Two of the three were on penalties drawn by Morgan. Morgan has been marked by every defense the U.S. has faced. I've lost track of how many times she's been hammered. Drawing fouls is one of those unsung skills that wins games.

One thing the USWNT never leaves home without: its American flag, which is hung up in the locker room before every game.

"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."

Credit the Netherlands goalkeeper for keeping them in the game. I was surprised at how they collapsed once they went two down. It was clear they had no offensive answers.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Definitely.
Credit also to Naeher who came out far to shutdown a few chances Netherlands would of had.

The Women's World Cup is raked in ticket sales, viewers, and sponsorship funds unlike ever before.

The United States won its record fourth Women’s World Cup title and second in a row, beating the Netherlands 2-0 Sunday night when Megan Rapinoe converted a penalty kick in the second half and Rose Lavelle added a goal.

Rapinoe, the pink-haired U.S. captain who grabbed world-wide attention on and off the field, scored in the 61st minute after a video review determined Stefanie van der Gragt had fouled Alex Morgan with a kick to the shoulder in the penalty area.
