Match Day Thread Women's World Cup !

[OedipusTex]

I didn’t think you’d seen any of it?

“Ihaven't watched a single minute of USWNT play incup competition, and don't plan to do so.”

One need not watch a single minute to know exactly what transpired. Information age and all that, you know?

If it were only about her dislike for our President, and refusal-in-advance for an anticipated invitation to the White House (and the presumptuousness thereof), there wouldn't be any controversy. We're used to athletes and other celebrities yammering on about their opinions. "Shut up and play" is usually the extent of the response. But she's made it clear she's extended her middle finger to the country as a whole, and for that she deserves the opprobrium, scorn, and contempt of her fellow countrymen.

How has she done this if it's not just about the White House episode, what else is there?

I think she has been quite vocal on the LGBT thing and something about drug addicts which didn't go down well.

Note, she is in support of the LGBT.

Well, she would be wouldn't she! Hardly a hanging offence though!

Don't leave us hanging with your vagueness, tell us what she did!

Are you saying a person can't have a personal opinion in the "Land of the Free"

Nationalistic, small minded bollocks. Half of her fellow countrymen can't find the USofA on a ****ing map anyway

 

[Quill]

Still waiting for Tex to give his reason. Methinks we haven't got it yet because he knows what the response will be on here. Though considering he advocated violence against her, it will probably a worthless excuse.

She might come across as a bit of a prat, like most of the USWNT, but I fully stand behind what she's done and what she believes in. Like most normal human beings.

Isn't it a stoning offense in some jurisdictions? Personally, I don't give a **** as long as they don't make any of it compulsory.

Going off "hearsay". Wonderful, well done. Funny how with the "Information age and all that" you cant produce what she's said or done that warrants so much hatred, unless its simply that she's a female with an opinion that differs from that of straight white men? Are you insecure?

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

The England women are garnering quite a bit of support for the match against our side thanks to the bad behavior of midfielder Megan Rapinoe. She is largely the reason I haven't watched a single minute of USWNT play in cup competition, and don't plan to do so. Still, I know a lot of Americans who will be watching and rooting for England.

Maybe the England manager can put a dress on Joey Barton, so he can play and knock Rapinoe around a bit. That I would gladly watch.

What has she done tex?
Not like you to get that riled up??

 

[Plum]

Looking forward to this game tonight, not sure why Rapinoe isn't starting (POTUS directive? ). Need to keep their centre forward quiet imo.

Land of the free my arse !

That's a relief. Otherwise a severe chastisement may have been forthcoming

I was shuddering at the mere thought !

Not on here you’re not.

 

[Quill]

Not sure how you can drop her considering she scored twice in the last match.

Tigerscanada, do you know if there is a stream available as I don't currently have access to a TV or TSN?
