Love the update at the bottom:

"Update: Or she'll have a hattrick in the first 16 minutes"

I watched and rooted for the USA. I plan on watching soccer again in a few years. As a side note, that American goalkeeper is hot.

My son and I watched "Nine on IX" on ESPN. It is a documentary on the 1999 Women's World Cup soccer team. Very entertaining.

I was surprised as to how much of a blowout last night's game was.

@bbsam. Did you watch the Mexico vs Costa Rica game and see the end?

You can't play with them. Ruins the value.


Don't you know anything?

I know soccer. How about you?

Yes! Loved and hated it. Entertaining but seemed sloppy. Should have had several goals and I personally don't like games that end with a PK (especially with a weak call in the box).

Still fun though.

My son is going to watch Manchester United at Soldier Field on the 29th.

We thought about going to that. Still might.

People who hate soccer are drawn to soccer forums, I love it. The first page was the best because the guy that loves american football won't say anything about the New England Patriots deflating their equipment.....so is that proof that the NFL should be exiled from the states?

I'm OK with soccer as long as I don't have to watch it. Frankly, it needs more scoring.

That is understandable. I played baseball, american football, and basketball growing up and soccer was rather boring for me to try and pick up. As an adult I've realized that I have been watching the wrong leagues. American soccer is not for me whatsoever and it puts me to sleep. Same for the Mexican leagues but Spanish on the other hand has a lot of goals and highly skilled players. You'll also get a lot of goals out of the English and Germans.

PS

Good to see a fellow Monster!

A sad day for US women's soccer. Abby Wambach will retire in December. As she said, she will be leaving the sport better than she found it. Sounds arrogant but it's true. A great athlete.

Loved this statement and it couldn't be more true.
