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.

I can’t say I always follow the USWNT, but when I do... by wiNDycityfan
they’re well ahead than their opposition in confidence, technique, ball down situations, and above all, pace and hustle.
They play with a lot of camaraderie and moxie - perhaps because they’ve played together long and won a lot - and they seem to do just about everything they set out to do. Today they had to win by 2 to win the tournament, so they won by 3. The last set piece goal was a beauty.
I can only dream the USMNT get the kind of coach that makes them believe they can play with that confidence, win or lose - nothing like the last round of pussies.
Congrats to these girls. Morgan, Rapinoe, Ertz, Horan, Dunn - whatever happened to Carli? - are all playing at a very high level. Look forward to the qualifiers and next year’s World Cup.
