Both goalies put on a hell of a show, but in the end, we win.

On to the gold medal match!

With Rapinoe's departure, I feel like I can enjoy rooting for this team again.

I know exactly what you mean.

Too bad Hayes wouldn't let Morgan play. I understand the reasoning, but still...

What is the reason for this? Legit question.

She's the kind of player who you build a team around, and she doesn't adapt well to different positions. Basically, she doesn't fit into the scheme Hayes wants to run. Also, the team is mostly made up of young guns, and she's 35.

Please change the title to USWNT vs. Back to Back World War losers.

Thank you

Alex has legit been bad on the national team the last year or two. Her hold up play has gotten worse, and it feels like she lives offside now that she’s lost a little bit of speed.

Having a Rodman, Swanson, Smith lineup allows us to use our speed.

I don't think there's a sport that self-immolated like US women's soccer. Used to be a time when they were talked about heavily. I pretty much never hear about them now.

Rapinoe destroyed the morale and psyche of the whole team
It's definitely a lot more refreshing without all her antics

I am about as dumb with soccer as they come. With that said, this feels like a really fast pace to start.

USWNT came out all guns blazing, that's for sure.

German goalie Ann-Katrin Berger getting a workout already.

I always get a bit nostalgic when USA rematches Germany in France.

Although the German Uniforms have definitely changed since 1918 and 1944.

This USWNT is enjoyable to watch. I hope they are rewarded with a goal very soon.

Yup. Remember sitting at a hotel bar with all of us doing USA chants during the 2015 World Cup, not giving a single shite during 2019, and laughing at the losses.

Do they deserve more pay? Yea. Am I going to support that position if you’re gonna politicize the team, use shitty statistics, and bitch? Get the frick out.

Germany is controlling the ball and passing much better than the U.S. right now.

Enjoyable ? They haven’t scored a goal in regulation in how long. Even for women’s soccer they’re boring

Looks like we'll be going to extra time... again.
