Watching a match for the first time since maybe the last World Cup they won.

They are whopping Germany right now. Front 3 of Rodman, Swanson and Sophia Smith are all speedy, technical and lethal in front of goal.

Enjoyable play for the womens game

I agree…this is the most dynamic the US team has been in a while. When you have a front 3 with that kind of ability…it gives you a a lot of options to work with!!! Changing of the guard feels good with this group!!

Purge the old guard

Get a brilliant tactician in who has no problem making tough decisions (omitting the country’s best known player)

Profit

In a way not surprising, just didn’t think they’d look this formidable this quickly

Meant to create a new thread but why is the USWNT so dominant compared to the men’s team. Is women’s soccer just not a thing globally?

They haven’t been the last few years. 20 years ago we had college soccer that was better development than any women’s league one Europe. How big European clubs has women’s academies and are closing the gap.

The short answer is that America being 2 decades ahead of the rest of the world in women's rights outweighed America being 2 centuries behind the rest of the world when it comes to soccer.

The feminist movement hit the US first. Title 9, etc.

The us is the best country for women.


They complain about pay but other parts of the world the women weren’t full professionals.


The problem they have had and will have going forward is the men’s European clubs investing in the women’s teams. There is a more natural fandom there and the best players will be playing in Europe.

Barcelona fan? Cool, you can easily be a fan of Barca women’s team. Chelsea or Arsenal fan? Same.

I’m not tuning in to Chicago sky or whatever fricking gay names they’ve tried over and over again in the women’s leagues here.

Completely agree OP.

Horan plays with spunk and fire. We have elite attackers.

Emma Hayes is a fantastic manager

Bringing in an outsider who isn’t going to deal with the bullshite and the entitlement was 1000% the right move.

I see what you're trying to do here, but I don't think it has much to do with her being an outsider, moreso that she is the arguably the best manager in the women's game right now and it's easy to pry that away when your program is historically the best in the sport.

She is the best manager in the world but anyone who has actually followed her before what I said about her is completely true

She doesn’t take shite from anyone, hell not even when being a pundit for the EPL on Sky.

Not saying she's not, but it has nothing to do with her being an "outsider"

Jill was the same way where she threw her metaphorical dick around and she wasn't an outsider.

This telecast sucks. Commercial interruptions, showing the Australian coach instead of game action...

Seeing all the twinks on Twitter crying about Albert, and then her banging one in is just hilarious.
