  1. If I'm Home Depot or Lowes, I start marking up the tiki torches.
  2. US wins the gold medal count 39-38 with the women's volleyball team winning their 1st ever gold while minutes later, China got the silver in a middleweight boxing match. China has no more events while the US still has one boxing match left.
  3. Congrats Canada bros! Though I still think that was a bad penalty against the US, I'm happy for Sinclair.
  4. Honestly, I thought Carli looked way better than Alex, who was somehow worse than Rapinoe. Lloyd and Morgan were subbed for each other in every game at center forward, including the send-off games and friendlies. I heard someone brought up that the 2 extra subs may have affected the coach's decision-making by making sure all the vets got playing time. I think every game the entire forward line was subbed off at the 60-70 minute mark. There's definitely a vet hierarchy there and I'm sure the sponsors love having Rapinoe and Morgan, specifically, on the team.
  5. For sure. The Canadian women have had way better teams than this one, who were pretty much bunkered down in the 2nd half until they got, what I think was, an unworthy penalty. Can't blame that though cause the US, especially Rapinoe, played like shit for most of the tourney.
  6. Hopefully, the crew was suspended with pay and, if not, will be fully compensated for their heroic efforts.
  7. Well I'm sure conservatives are chomping at the bit to dunk on the USWNT, especially Rapinoe, but they'll be doing it for their own selfish reasons. They were pretty trash this tournament though. Outside of the NZ game, who was by far their weakest opponent, they only scored in one half, getting clean-sheeted 3 times. What an abysmal showing and last night, somehow, the USMNT's C-squad beat Mexico's A-team (pretty much) in the Gold Cup final. This is the upside-down.
  8. I guess I was thinking more the Asia-hate going around.
  9. A feel good story at least. With all the conservative outrage at Simone, your new women's all-around champion is...
  10. Today's game could have possibly been avoided if the women had 4 groups like the men instead of 3, thus eliminating the 2 third place wild card berths.
  11. Yeah, I woke up to watch this and it was fucking awful. I swear half the game was either the US playing hoof ball or the Aussie back 4 imitating that Simpsons gif. It was basically a mutually beneficial, agreed-upon draw.
  12. Was my first choice too since there was history behind that name. Kinda felt the same way when DC went with Nationals over the Grays.
