This is the vets swan song. Let them end their careers in Tokyo.

U23 rule only applies to men's Olympic soccer. It's perfectly fine to discriminate against men.

This year it is U24 because of the one-year delay (with the customary 3 exemptions).
I remember when everyone had to be an amateur, and Avery Brundage would decide what that meant.

So you are saying the games were pretty close
What an embarrassing performance. Too bad that group of 15 year old boys was not available to play for the US today.
Yea.. pretty sad. Glad I didn't wake up for this. Maybe they should concentrate more on soccer and less on virtue signaling and media deals.

All of the folks waiting since January 2019 to pile on... SMDH.
If they are our team when they win, but inferior to boys or virtue signalers when they lose, can you really call yourself a fan?

They have gotten arrogant and paid the price. So you can't call them out on lack of effort and not be a fan? I guess they are untouchable.

No comments made about their lack of effort, just that they are arrogant virtue signalers. That sounds like haterade.
I'm watching it now, and effort, tactics and technical talk I'm here for... Kicking them after losing for the first time in 30 months... I'm not.
Um.. concentrating on soccer is what I said... think that is covered. You see haterade because its what you want to see.
"Yea.. pretty sad. Glad I didn't wake up for this. Maybe they should concentrate more on soccer and less on virtue signaling and media deals."
I don't call it hateraid what I see are...
- A team full of veterans
- A team full of players with "agendas" outside of the USWNT
Are the best womens players on the field?
Will the team regroup and focus on soccer instead of which knee is the correct one to kneel on or what hair color complements being gay best.
Basically, Put Up or Shut Up...
The beating that the FC Dallas kids put on the US Women 4 years ago has nothing to do with what happened today. The current team could easily beat those boys now. Today was an off day and they will bounce back and advance out of the group.

Those boys today would be 19 years old. It could be more difficult.

it's not the social justice dedication that causes a drubbing like that. I posit that it's all the cupcake opponents played, and when they do play better teams it's usually on home soil. Second, I've always contended that other countries just need to have the endurance and courage to press USA for 90 minutes and they will make mistakes because these old timers don't have the deft skill and touch that the new crop of girls coming up have. Congrats to Sweden on a beautifully played game all around. USA will beat NZ and Australia. A first round knockout match vs. Netherlands will be their next real test.
my Canada side didn't look much better than USA unfortunately. fortunately they came away with a point.

You may want to find a new sport to support. The WNT plays younger boys more often you may think and those top 15 year old boys teams will be the women 99 out of 100 times and if that is a difficult concept for you to grasp, then you are in the wrong sport. However, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that you would get similar results in a lot of other sports as well.
I am confused by this. I said the US Women have improved and will bounce back.
This....
I don't think they put the best team possible on the field nor on the roster. Used to be it didn't matter we were so deep compared to other teams any number of our players could do the work. The world has changed. I feel like this roster was more a thank you to veteran players and a send off than actually trying to win. Some players are seeing this as a last chance to cash in on the big stage of the Olympics to get endorsement deals, push their agendas and lock in media roles before they checkout and US Soccer is letting them do it.
Not saying they can't pull it off.. maybe this is the wake up they needed but get back on track and realize what got them here and execute.

My apologies. I thought you said this "The current team could easily beat those boys now", which would demonstrate your ignorance but since that is not what you said, I apologize once again.
