This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

U.S. Beats Canada in World Cup; Advances to Semi's... by dillon77

They held Canada to 16 first-half points (while scoring 50 of their own) en route to an 81-46 win. Caitlin Clark scored 9 points and had a long stint on court, playing 25 minutes, most on the team.

The U.S. will play the winner of the Belgium vs. Japan game in the semi-finals. Belgium has been playing well.

Most of the U.S. games are being played in the middle of the night (U.S. times), so I've not seen any live. And most of the time I'm trying to see how Clark is doing so I'm not perusing the stands to see if there are any recognizable coaches. In the beginning, Walz played Bueckers and Van Lith a lot, given their almost constant presence on various U.S. teams the last two years. But Clark is getting more and more minutes ... exactly what one wants to see (as well as her in an Irish uniform in 2020.).

Here's a link to the U.S. Basketball site that has, in turn, links to anything on the game....box scores, video replays, still pictures, etc.
