So lets have the women play against the men. It is like the WNBA very few care to watch outside of national competition. It is an inferior, less athletic form of the sport. Socialists are blowing up.

You are one insecure motherfucker...

[LarryBnDC]

Heh

Exactly

Here are the US women, crying about making 350K while teams they compete against have to play around their regular 40 hour+ per week jobs.

They’re supposed to win and they do. You’re saying the Netherlands, England, France, China etc have rosters made up of postal workers, doctors and au pairs?

Bullshit!

You know why the US women are so good?

Title IX.
(Why aren’t the US Men?)

These are the women who were inspired as little girls by Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain and Amy Wambach.

That too.

Yeah! Take what we give you, bitch, and like it!

Yeah, I can see where you get that idea about what I posted.

Not my feeling at all.  But I think they are well compensated.

Medical covered.  Travel,  Per diems.  Etc.

The fact they are making a big deal of "setting the goal scoring record", after running up 13 on Thailand, is revolting.

Here's a breakdown of how the World Cup tiebreaker scenarios play out for teams that are tied in points.

1. Goal difference in all group matches

2. Goals scored in all group matches

No, not revolting - it's how to make sure your team advances.

And if they broke a record, then what was that record? Germany won 11-0 in 2007. They won 10-0 in 2015.  Switzerland won 10-1 in 2015.

Why?

Because of the tiebreakers, Kiiid.

We like to say in baseball, when the other team complains that you stole a base with a big lead, "Okay - if you agree to stop trying to win, we will stop trying to score more."

How many do you think they should have stopped at, Kiiid? 5?  6? How many is enough, given the system they were playing in?

[barton]

Painfully obvious what the bias is here. 

[LarryBnDC]

Anyone who thinks the US Women's Soccer Team faces the same level of competition
as the US Men's team is grossly ignorant of the opportunities for women worldwide.

There are many reasons the US Women dominate their sport, but what that does that have to do with their compensation as opposed to the US Men?

[josh]

And Heaven help you if you are wearingrclothing made of linen and wool or are a woman wearing pants.

Let alone if you oppress the weakor fail to lend the poor or destitute money or demand payment from them when you know they can't pay.

 It’s getting to be time to physically eject Barr from the DOJ and put him in the Potomac. 

[barton]

Talk about lowering the Barr!

Trump has again been told it is unconstitutional for him to block people from his Twitter account for saying things he dislikes.

Do you think he will appeal to SCOTUS?

And do you think he would win, if he does?

I hope he won't because it is a huge waste of their time. I hope if he does that they deny cert.

I believe the Clean Water Act prohibits the dumping of toxic waste into our rivers.

There are many reasons the US Women dominate their sport, but what that does that have to do with their compensation as opposed to the US Men?

FIFA raked in more than $6 billion from the 2018 men’s World Cup. The women’s 2019 World Cup has been projected, when all is said and done, to make about $130 million.

But, in the real world, US women soccer players already have a leg up on their male counterparts in terms of lifetime earning potential.  That's because, like the USA team, most women players graduate from college.  They have no reason to leave school early since Women's Pro Teams pay less than the cost of a college scholarship.  This gives the women better career opportunities and fatter paychecks  than men players.
