No Megan Rapinoe slander will be tolerated. None, you hear me? Rapinoe was the first white football player to support Colin Kaepernick. Soccer is football.

I'm scared of France, Netherlands, and England. The US didn't get much worse. Everyone else has gotten a lot better.

The "I'm a Fox watcher that can't name 3 players in the US Women's Nation Team" to "I'm now an expert on women's soccer, and make more misogynistic comments about the USWNT than Alexi Lalas" pipeline is always in full effect.

Everyone mad that the USWNT was dancing before the game? Just be quiet. Everyone gets ready for competition in different ways.

One of the purest moments in sports history was Diego Maradonna dancing with a ball before a game. His childlike joy was undeniable. The sheer skill with which he played with and danced with the ball, let everyone else know that this boy is not normal.

But when girls do it, it's bad?

I'm disappointed in Carli Lloyd too. She should know better.

As I've said before, every powerlifting competition I've ever won, I wore a Rapinoe merch shirt.♥️👍🏿

Rapinoe is *extremely* popular among Black men basketball and football players. She's an athlete's athlete. She's a fierce competitor, a leader, and speaks up for us. Respect*.

And the USWNT is the most dominant international sports team in world history. Once you get past your sexism and US sports centrism, you can accept this fact.

(And she didn't try to sell poor Black people crypto!)

@mekkaokereke I agree with pretty much everything you said except the most dominant team part, I reserve that still, and I'm still pretty sure it's statistically true that the New Zealand All Blacks for rugby are still the reigning champs of that claim. Last I checked over a century they've got something like a near 80% percent win rate, and over the last decade it's something like 95%. The USWNT ain't quite there yet, but they are definitely a contender.

Nope.

Don't just look at overall win rate, because the All Blacks rack up a lot of wins against teams that barely have a national team. Beating Barbados 83-0 doesn't count for much. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Look at world cups instead. That way we're comparing the All-Blacks against the second third fourth and fifth best teams in the world. How did they do against England, France, Australia, South Africa, Argentina. And we're comparing the USWNT against Brazil, Argentina, France etc

@midtempo Nope! I know a little bit about rugby and the All-Blacks. I was co-captain of my college team, and took them to the national championship. I played semi-pro rugby for the Riverside Killer Bees: 2X national 7s champs, undefeated league champs, and national championship quarter finalist. 7 of my teammates were Fijian national team players, 3 US national team players, and our coach was an All-Black https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Jennings_(rugby_union) The USWNT has won 50% of all women's world cups. More dominant.

@zeruch

When the All Blacks have won 50% of all rugby world cups, they will approach the level of dominance of the USWNT.

Till then, the All Blacks are in a very respectable second place. Not bad!
