I suppose you didn't notice that those articles don't lend much support to your opinion that it was Ellis' decision that she is not on the team.

Ellis makes the roster decisions. Please dig deeper this is extremely well known and I am sure you probably asked the same question then and just can't remember the answer or that you asked the question. I suggest ginseng for your memory and some moderate exercise. It will clean up the cobwebs that you are having and help with your obvious dementia.

Or are you just a crotchety old man?

Since it is "extremely well known" it shouldn't be much trouble for you to show the actual content that is the basis for your opinion.

And your unfounded personal attacks on me are beneath you.
 
Spain owned the US in second half.

All Morgan did this game was flop and complain. No surprise there. What does it say that your 9 gets called off of a PK attempt? Coaches made the switch.

Too many long balls over the top of the midfield. No patience with working through midfield. When they went through Mewis and Lavelle it was good.

Still waiting for a great combo goal by the US. PKs save them. Rapinoe sucked on the field but give her props for nailing the corner with both of those PKs. Lavelle barely touched, if at all, on that second PK call and going sideways in the box. US saved by the whistle.

Heath disappeared in second half because of all the over the top balls and Spain's dominance.

Dunn struggled, but had the toughest assignment on the pitch. She had some good recoveries and overlaps in the attack.

Sauerbraun a class act.

Good for US to play these teams -- if they win, they will have earned the crown. And, US fans get to see firsthand that other countries are now on the same level as USA.

I love a game where either team has a good chance to win. Let's hope that Diacre isn't dissecting that film. The US midfield and the referees saved us. The next opponent has some major home cooking. I am excited for this Canada/Sweden game. I am hoping for a bigtime performance from our NORAD partners. Go Canada!!
 
@espola re Hinkle...her openness about her religious views have been in the news for some time. And she is also widely known as one of the best backs in the World (and the best in the NWSL). As Rapinoe has taken a stand with the anthem, she took a stand re not wearing the rainbow jersey. After, she hasn't been asked back to the team. Coincidence? Unlikely since Jill is gay, as are Rapinoe, Davidson, Harris and Krieger are engaged together, and one or two others on the team.

The news articles that MAP linked said that she was invited but declined to go. I know nothing about this other than that.

The debate is moot since Nike has made her the face of Women's soccer. She will play significant minutes and start every game until she no longer wants. But anytime she is yanked (like the last game), just know that the reason given will be "health or protecting from injury". Morgan is fast, and that's it. She has no dribbling skills. Her back to goal game is awful. And she does not know how to weight a pass. Sometimes she gets lucky, but so does every player. Most of her goals are "cleanup" shots after the ball is bouncing around the box. Hegerberg, Kerr, Sinclair, Miedema, Hermoso, Lloyd, McDonald are all better 9's. In men's athletics, the best players are the highest paid and have the most sponsors. Not with women. Pugh is another good example of this contradiction. I root for Dunn A LOT because she has earned her spot with a lot of hard work and looks nothing like the SUM/Nike prototype -- small, not great looking, black, hetero, etc.

I didn't realize Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger are engaged to one another. That's an interesting wrinkle re the controversy of Krieger making the team.

The lady has played in over 100 international games. Only Akers and Wambach have ever scored at a higher rate. You can hate on different aspects of her game, but she gets the ball in the net. Both Akers and Wambach had big holes in their games. But the point of soccer is putting the ball in the back of the net. Let's not pretend like its luck and treat her like she is Anna Kournikova.

I like Dunn too. I would also take Lynn Williams over Morgan and Pugh.

If I have to do your work for you don't expect it to be thorough. Of course, you might have already known it and just being your usual contrarian self.

Oh lord. Hinkle is crap and always has been. She was hardly ever called up even before she told the world she was an insubordinate bigot who hates her teammates. Regardless of the fact that she is a bigoted p.o.s., USSF still called her up again even after she began her campaign of self-promoting hatred of others, which says a lot about the character of the rest of the team, which she utterly lacks. If someone sucks before she tells everyone she's a bigot who hates her co-workers, is it really any coincidence that she doesn't make the team now because she still sucks?

Hinkle is very religious and refused to wear the rainbow jersey and went on the 600 club to discuss it. Ellis is extremely pro-LGBTQ and didn't feel like "her team" (I thought that this was America's team) couldn't handle her on the roster even though she is clearly the best American at her position.

Yes, lesbians have all the power. Pretty soon they'll be coming for your daughter.

This kind of reaction is exactly why Trump won the election. Take an innocuous, and probably accurate comment and turn it into a flame war with someone who likely supports the LGBTQ community.

Did someone not hug you enough as a kid?

I am not implying that. I have no problem with anybody's lifestyle choices. My point is that leaving out the best player at a particular position for non-injury or personality issues is silly. Hinkle plays with many of these same players and there isn't a problem. Why not give her a pass (like Rapinoe was given) and let her help us win?

I missed where she said that she hated her teammates (I am not defending her). What is without question is that she is the best American leftback so you saying she sucks kinda shows your agenda here....
