We've got a William & Mary grad at the helm. We've got the sublimely confident badassery of Megan Rapinoe, and the no fucks given goal-scoring acumen of Alex Morgan, and the ball-hunting wall-crashing physicality of Julie Ertz, and the I'll-rest-when-I'm-dead full-field athleticism of Crystal Dunn and Kelley O'Hara on the outside, and the top-five in all of American soccer (men or women) technical skill of Tobin Heath, and the ridiculous skill coming off the bench from Carli Lloyd, Christen Press, and Mallory Pugh, and the stupendously underrated vision and offensive engine-room drive of Rose Lavelle, and 13 other all-World women on our side.
The Netherlands, they're good. Champions of Europe, terrific on set pieces, heiresses to a national obsession for soccer. They can beat us.
They're not going to.
I’ve had a crush on Rapinoe for a few years. She is living her best life. If she plays today and the US team wins, she will be a modern day marketer’s dream rep.
ReplyDeletewe’re a bit better, but the dutch are playing a very smart match and their keeper has been outrageous.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, the Dutch keeper is playing at an absurd level.
ReplyDeleteI got excited in the wrong post
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSSSSSDDDSSSSDDSDD
ReplyDeleteWhat a fucking shot by Lavelle.
ReplyDeleteFucking awesome
ReplyDeletethat was fun. rose lavelle is gonna inherit the mantle. she’s a damn stud.
ReplyDeleteOur goalkeeper Nancy McKinnon did very well.
ReplyDeletehere’s my unified theory of the democrats’ bizarre unwillingness to exercise their oversight responsibility and hold the administration accountable for its manifold corrupt actions: i think there are high-profile dems involved in the epstein affair, and the dem leadership fears mutually assured destruction. occam’s razor.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Harry’s
