Women’s World Cup 2023

[FinLuver]

Exactly. Some people don't get it.

30 years playin, coaching, and refereeing the game…
I have a pretty good grasp of what is involved.

Those who know…know…with my initial comment about it being over.

Dang man, let it go. You hate the USWNT, we get it.

Not the case at all…
Just the current USA crop of the past two WCs.

Lighten up Francis.

They say sports hate can lead to strokes and heart attacks...

I save my hate for people I actually know.

Sorry...I'm not up on all the politically correct vernacular.
I'm still in love, hate, and meh mode.

Ahh, yes, the good ol' "ignore" function. Byebye finluver.

I'm going to remove you from this thread. Both Josh and Evan gave you some advice. You choose to ignore it and continue to derail this thread. Done with it.

Japan Sweden + Spain Netherlands will be spicy games. The Semi final on that side of the bracket will be a good one. I'm pullin for England or Australia after the USAs exit.

Agree on all counts. ENG and AUS for sure. Though it's hard not to cheer for Japan. They might be the team playing the best soccer in the tourney so far. It's just very impressive to watch.

Excited for these.

Are you all DVRing these matches or what?

My wife records the ones she wants to see on hulu. I watch the ones that I want to with her. I have only really watched our women so far because, you know, I am American and root for my country.
I may take some interest in the other matches now, but it becomes more academic and less emotional when my country is out of it.

Too much credit. More like Buck Nasty IMO.

I am definitely watching. Who knew that NCAA basketball and World Cup Soccer share some highlights or lowlights:

I DVR a lot of matches and watch in morning. But I got up at 1:00 AM to watch the USA live. The penalty kicks that clear the goal - ugh. It happens most shootouts but it drives me crazy. At least make the keeper beat you. I like watching Japan. Fast, quick, and relentless.

This morning’s Japan vs Sweden game broke my heart. After watching the USWNT lose against Sweden, Japan was my last favorite to fall.

I blame both coaches for blowing it. The US coach didn’t know how best to use his players, and the Japan coach was too slow to realize what Sweden was throwing at his gals until it was too late. To be honest, the latter should have expected it before it happened: the tallest team, against the shortest team, was going to use their physical advantage to wear down the Japanese and keep the pressure on with substitutions. The Japan coach failed to do the same to keep his own team fresh in the face of them constantly getting knocked down to the turf.

My wife could hear me frothing at the mouth from the bedroom.

I’ve been off grid and on the road for a week…missed a lot of action. I heard one of the matches had a couple penalty kicks…
