Han's daughter?

Yeah like a week ago if you asked 100 people on the street who Hope Solo is it would have been roughly

65 -- "who?"
19 -- "Han Solo's daughter?"
12 -- "Han Solo's mother?"
4 -- "Heiress to the vast plastic cup empire?"

As an "American" expert on soccer (been to 2 games, confirmed more than anybody else in America), women's soccer is a million times better than men's. The men slow the game down and are too good. Women are just "bad" enough that the game is exciting. In both cases the best part about the game was the atmosphere, though. Soccer fans be crazy.

That seems on point, just like foxy boxing is better than men's boxing

Same reason why college football is far more exciting.

If the us completes two passes in a row say "nice touch!". If the us completes three or more in a row say "oh nice idea!" when it inevitably falls apart. If the us hasn't completed three passes in a row for 15 minutes talk about how they should make a substitution to inject some fresh legs or creativity, your choice

Just get a Ronaldo bomaye chant whenever he looks like scoring.

They'll love that.

If the ref awards a free kick in your favour, he's a stand-up guy, keen-eyed and on top of the game.
If he awards one against you he's crooked, blind and should be shot at dawn. (This, of course, should be shouted in rightous anger as you rise from your seat and flail your arms wildly... this is compulsory, you are not allowed to be forgiving when a call goes against you.)

ALL goals scored against you are offside by default. (Once again, you are to bellow this as loudly as you can as you rise from your seat. Do not forget the obligatory insults to the crooked/blind ref.)

If you win the match it is because team USA have studied the nuances of the game, trained hard to improve their skills and brought their passion to win to the game.
If you lose, the above still applies and you were either,
A) Unlucky or
B) had a crooked ref who was bribed and who obviously hates America.

Game starts soon, GL... you're gonna need it.

Bovada has it at +280 on team USA tonight vs Portugal.

What do you guys think of +400 on team USA making it to finals within the next 20 years? Odds too good, not good enough, about right?

Bwahahahahaha good lord this team is awful

That s*** was straight ugly. Dude on defense forgets how to kick a soccer ball, then goalie feels he's best positioned to block a goal by falling onto his a**.

Your lot look ok here. Shame they gave away that awful goal.

Expect epic time wastage from Portugal if it's still 1-0 late in the game.

Lol water break

Why are Lando Donovan and Alexi Lalas in the studio? I thought they were best US players? Are they hurt or something?

Donovan isn't injured, not sure why he wasn't picked either. All I know is that the manager's son was mocking him on twitter because he was left out lol

lol USA can't finish

How the **** do you miss that?

1) Play for USA#32
2) ?????
3) lol US soccer, lol Lando Donovan

Hoooooooly ****

dayum that was a pretty solid, I have to admit

lol flopaments

It's like Portugal is on a power play the entire game.

god dammit

'MERICA!
