That would be pretty neat to see. I've met her once! She's a super cool person. My friend might get a picture with her and the medal. But I really enjoy that she put White Rock on the map by winning an Olympic medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not her or Canada, it's Lateralus and Germany, with the pathetic catch-all 'complex' label. Anyone that calls you on your patented American arrogance you pull the weak "complex" claim out. Evwywon godda compwex!! Give it a rest. You're usually not, and don't have to be obnoxious simply because you're 'Merican. Now you're just grabbing at straws. I was defending Canada with the German guy you dolt. You are literally the only person I have ever called out for having a complex in over 5,600 posts. Just give it up. You keep proving me right.

Wait until her soccer career is over and she has to join the rest of normal society. She won't be able to cope. She barely can now. Yeah, I have concerns over her future. I'm curious about just how much her attitude has "infected" the American team with regard to how they play the game. They are a very talented group, and it will be interesting to see how her departure (when it comes) will affect that team. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched in a bar and didn't have sound, but I'm pretty surprised at this. She's fine out of the studio, maybe she's just more comfortable in front of a camera than behind a microphone. I wonder why they didn't get Clare Rustad again, I actually quite liked her commentary. Was she on a different network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let some folk get you down. And it is somewhat strange to see people pointing out the failure of the vogue cover athletes; at the same time ignoring that if those folk did as expected and either won, or at least metalled, the USA would be even further ahead of the rest of the world. Thanks for the kind comments. Others get too antsy and upset when I post good things about the USA Olympians, but I'm no homer. I call it as I see it. If a US athlete is a cheater and sore loser like Hope Solo, then they are an embarrassment. Even though they'll win Gold in basketball, I'm going to continue to call out the men's team for being lazy and entitled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong as I've only seen this and the Senegalese game, but I'm not happy with the dumb yellows we're taking or the overly conservative style. They had Senegal cold, and let them hang around with hope. They had a break in today's game where they could have hit an unmarked forward, at a dead run and clear all the way to net, and Canada dogged it down the field and ate up some clock instead. Excellent chance to finish France right there, but they let France have a couple of more shots at them instead. Go Canada, but I'm going to have fingers, arms, legs, toes and eyes crossed while they're playing Germany. Well, maybe not eyes. Kinda need those to watch. It certainly was not their best game. And they will have to play much better. I thought it was very sloppy in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it ladies,...just do it!!! That should be a great match - both teams had key players sitting when Canada beat them the first time - but this one will be the true test.

I have a feeling neither team was really that concerned with winning that match, knowing that the winner had to play France. In fact, some of the most hardcore fans I know were pretty ambivalent to Germany scoring their goal. Tuesday's going to be a battle, we'll be missing Belanger and Chapman as options too.

At 35 y.o., there's still a small chance that she will make the 2020 team unless she gets busted for peds again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
