i am watching. i like how tough these chicks are. abby wambach could kick most of our asses, i'm sure of it.

so how about that apocalyptically awful move benching hope solo for the semi-final game? the only way i can make sense of this is if the coach bet against the team to win himself money. there's no reason to start a 37 year old keeper over someone that was having such a splendid tournament.

and that final goal by Marta for Brazil was absolutely incredible.

sounds good GK

i'd like to also mention that Nike's tagline for the U.S. Women "The Best Team You Never Heard Of" will continue to be true since no one here is going to notice that they are playing in the 3rd place game. America only retroactively cares when the US Women win 1st place (but they weren't watching, anyway). Although I'm pretty proud of the fact that U.S. Women's Athletics is in such excellent shape that even our national squad for a sport the country by and large ignorantly pooh-poohs and generally doesn't care about is a world class team.

i can watch women play soccer and enjoy it. these games are way too early though.

and i was glad hope solo ripped her coach. she probably didn't mean to insult scurry, and it needed to be said. what a joke. hope solo, you have gone 300 minutes without allowing a goal! you know what you've earned by doing that? A BENCHING. AHHHHAHAHAHA.

Sounds a bit like netball...barely any movement, all of it off the ball, no action of any type really. Football keeps the same rules and shit but the women fucking suck...plus theyre all fuck ugly and a couple dont even wear bras.

At least with a REAL sport like beach volley-ball theyre all smokin' hot and in bikinis.

i caught some of the first half live (brazil were already up 2-zip) and watched until the break. the effort and attitude was there for sure, but the organizational defensive elements (which can stifle the men's game at times) and retaining possession were absent. the late-night highlight packages being run over here are far more enjoyable, as all the bad passages of play are edited out. sexists cracks would be all too easy, but these faults are commonly found in inferior leagues in men's soccer and are totally related to number of participants, coaching, experience, availability of training. the women are certainly enthusiastic and to a degree are good players but i cannot imagine watching a full game. however the same could apply to MLS or other minor men's leagues, by which no insult is intended. it is just a by-product of growing up watching a high-calibre product.

the sending off of boxx was quite the worst piece of officiating i've seen and basically killed the game as a contest. the brazilian (cristiane?) should have been ashamed of her reaction.

You've seen women boxing and american football?

I suppose as far as comedy value for the viewer is concerned weights should be shown for all sports. Some of the women at the Olympics that do gymnastics ect. would be pretty scray, like under 6 stone for those midget Chinese girls who seem to float when they take off.

yeah but marta made her look <i>stupid</I>. like bad defense can be pretty non descript but that chick just fell over.

it was like that Iverson play where his sick crossover literally made antonio daniels's ankles bukle and he's piched over to one side as AI just flies to the hoop. It's hilarious and takes skill. It's like Vince Young faking out two deep cover linebackers with a pump fake when he's easily beyond the line of scrimmage.

I don't understand how you can know that she publicly tossed her teammate and her coach under the bus and NOT think back to the whole T.O./McNabb saga. In most other sports, someone who did what she did would be considered a horrible teammate, no matter how justifiable it may have been. Shit like that should be kept in-house or private. It doesn't matter if the coach's call to bench her in favor of Scurry was idiotic...how she handled it was immature and something athletes typically don't do unless they're prima-donnas.
