    Euro 2024

    Euro 2004 deserves its own thread. The rosters of France, England, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Czechia are ridiculous. And then Greece wins it.

    Euro 2024

    Southgate has made it to the QF (loss to France), SF (loss to Croatia AET) and F (loss to Italy on PKs) in his three major tournaments. In the 25 major tournaments between 1966 and when he took over, they made it to two SFs (1990 WC and 1996 Euros). 0 SFs from the 98 WC through the 2016 Euros is the truly astounding achievement.

    Euro 2024

    Declan Rice is going to get frustrated trying to defend the entire MF against quality opposition
  5. Game times unfortunately conflict with the breakdancing competition

    Euro 2024

    If that is how VAR works in this tournament, there will be far more important goals ruled out because someone's elbow or toe is offsides.
  7. Consider posting less
  8. Same with his iron play
  9. Scottie in trouble here. 8 back of Cantlay
  10. The youtube tv multiview is great. All three featured groups
  11. Now he has the 65. Lol. Kaymeresque
  12. Uh oh. 2 stroke lead and in good position to par his final hole I guess my stream is behind a bit . . .

    USMNT 2024

    How bad is Turner?
  14. Memorial is one of their favorite stops on the tour. So much better than all the Texas tour events and I have been to all of them.
  15. Reminiscent of the USWNT. “You can pry my roster spot from my cold, dead fingers.” Women team sports need to move beyond the mean girls era.
  16. Scottie had the biggest gallery I saw at the Memorial yesterday and I expect he will again today.
  17. That’s what people enjoy watching. Shooting and passing that resembles the best from the men’s game. The wnba post game that most of the league’s best players have employed to dominate simply doesn’t engage the casual sports fan that drives ratings.
  18. There have been plenty of white American stars in the WNBA (including MVPs of the league) and no one gave a shit about any of them. Caitlin introduced an entirely new style of women's basketball and dominated college basketball in doing so. That separates her from everyone who came before her.
  19. You post one of the most inane takes on the board this year and then have the gall to characterize someone else as dense and hopeless. Have you been to a youth basketball tournament? Tons of white people. You would think they would all be playing lacrosse or water polo given the demographics of the NBA and WNBA. Have you been to an ECNL event? Lots of minorities and there have been for years.
  20. Good. Suggesting that white parents may shift their daughters to other sports because there is more diversity on the USWNT is insane. You may also want to consider reviewing the diversity in elite club volleyball and softball.
  21. Are you suggesting that because there is some diversity on the the field that the young players weren't raised and developed in the pay-to-play system? All of the players on the USWNT roster under the age of 27 other than Lily Yohannes (raised in the Netherlands) were developed by ECNL clubs (the most expensive club league in the country). You might also want to look at the rosters of the US youth national girls teams where every player is from an ECNL or GA club (the two most expensive club leagues in the country). Jaedyn Shaw (Solar - ECNL) Korbin Albert (Eclipse - ECNL) Hal Hershfelt (Corcorde Fire - ECNL) Trinity Rodman (So Cal Blues - ECNL) Jenna Nighswonger (Slammers - ECNL) Sophia Smith (Real Colorado - ECNL) Naomi Girma (De Anza Force - ECNL) Catarina Macario (San Diego Surf - ECNL) Sam Coffey (Match Fit Academy - ECNL) Tierna Davidson (De Anza Force - ECNL) - Yes, our starting CBs both played for the same ECNL club Mal Swanson (Real Colorado - ECNL)
  22. How does Disney still have this much money to just light on fire?
  23. So they should easily break 100 this season
  24. The wnba players may be the dumbest group of people on the planet.
  25. They must have really kicked ass in the SEC after getting out from under the boot of Texas . . .
