OT: USA vs Netherlands WWC final
Less than 4 hours away from probably the last "big" team sports event before the start of football season (not to take anything away from the 15 year old Coco Gauff and her amazing run at Wimbledon thus far; I caught her comeback against 2 match points on Friday - magnificent). According to Oddschecker, the USA team has 4-9 odds to win while the Netherlands are at 13-2; a draw is also given at 3-1 odds (which I assume means a penalty kick scenario, since the match must have a winner).
GO USA! BEAT THE NETHERREGIONS!
There’s only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch.
Let’s go USA!
Forgot to add in OP that game is supposed to start at 11am EDT on Fox Sports.
Edit: since I can't change the OP, the final result was a 2 - 0 win for Team USA. Both goals were in the second half; first was a penalty kick by Rapinoe and second was a more conventional goal by Lavalle.
Just because I can...
Plus 1 for Netherregions!! LMAO!!!
GO USA USA USA!!!!
Hard for anyone to face the Netherregions in general - especially in a sweltering summer heat wave.
Nah, a good meal is a good meal, regardless of temperature.
What you did there...I see it. :)
The area also makes some of the best cheese!
I think they call it Fromunda
Fuck the Netherregions.
Mexico and USA tonight at 9 est for the Gold Cup final.
Really a dick move by FIFA to do that. Other cup finals for the men's game are later today too. Made the WWC the jv game.
Supposedly to build interest. But, ah, cue Nick Fury "That's some BS right there." If you want to build interest, you make the men's game first as a lead-in to the World Cup final.
I doubt that was the intent...
A primetime US game would be on in the middle of the night in Europe. The place where they’re playing the game.
Gold Cup is ran by Concacaf. Not related. Just because Rapinoe is upset doesnt mean her followers need to be as well.
Time zones are a thing. Are the men supposed to play at 8am? And for what reason exactly?
Other dates are also a thing. So no, they're not supposed to play at 8 am. They're supposed to play on a different day. Not to mention that if FIFA really had intended to use the men's games to build support for the women's game, they could have easily scheduled the men's games ahead of the women's games, and yes, that obviously means it could be done even accounting for time zones.
And what do you mean for what reason? The reason is to not be a dick. It's the goddam World Cup. It shouldn't be made into an opening act for the Copa America or Gold Cup.
I want to let you know that I can feel your emotion. And that you're right to have all these feelings. Your feelings and emotions matter.

Those girls on the US are aggressive. They just go haam the whole time! It really is quite fun to watch.
If you don’t respect your country, don’t play for it
lol, k
i'm literally watching only because of rapinoe #americanhero
I'm watching to see the team play. For any team sport (UM included), individual storylines are secondary as far as I'm concerned.
Pathetic
She is a champion. She has licked every opponent she has ever faced.
Really?! Damn, maybe I should start playing soccer... would show her where to start licking! :-)
There's a huge difference between respect for our country and respect for a disrespectful clown.
So she decides to disrespect the flag because she doesn’t like the president? Makes sense...
edit: YOUR president

Jeez, you're such a snowflake.
Clever
He's posts like an incel.
Exercising your FREEDOM so that Citizens never suffer the tyranny of misogynist elitists might be the exact definition of "respecting your country" especially when your country is supposedly all about freedoms.
How does your father feel about raising such a pussy?
unwittingly you've painted an accurate portrayal of your own parents' abilities
Damn right!
ya girl just scored
"Unwittingly" appears to be the norm for GoBlueInLansing.
Poor guy, you sound really upset. Maybe mgoblog isn't the right place for you. I'm sure we can find you a nice safe space that will make the bad feelings go away.
I can’t wait with for the liberal meltdown when Trump wins again in 2020. So many tears.
So much hate in your life. Sad.
You seem like the type who loves calling people snowflakes, but has a meltdown about what Starbucks does with their holiday cups
Well that is all there is for you to look forward to since that is all he brings to the table.
I can't wait for GoBlueInLansing's meltdown when the USWNT goes everywhere they're invited except The White House.
Meh .....my sister's alright.
My father though, since he respected individuals based on the use of their intellect regardless of any physical characteristics would be quite proud she earned her law degree, and wouldn't be comfortable defining her by any other part of her body besides her brain, since he wasn't creepy.
And as far as how I was "raised" to understand freedoms and tyranny and stuff ......it was called the Revolutionary War.
You might want to look that up, they might be releasing the sequel soon.
Geee-zuz. "Suffer the tyranny of misogynist elitists"...as she plays in the Fuckin' World Cup. Get a grip.
