I don’t go here but: Jordan Chiles being stripped of her medal days after the ceremony is insanity.
There’s zero reason the bronze can’t be shared by the two athletes because of an unprecedented situation, medals have been shared plenty of times before.
I know we lost so it’s getting lost in the mud of getting eliminated but
Alyssa Naeher saved a penalty, MADE a penalty, and gave the US every chance to win the match.
She is a legend in my mind. 🫡
ESPN/NBA can you make sure your commentators aren’t fucking misogynistic next time you decide to collab with a woman because damn does it really kill the mood
one man’s ability to take the greatest team in the world and dismantle them piece by piece until they lack drive, identity, and cohesion should really be studied in history books
The Spanish football federation announces that, they will take legal action against Jenni Hermoso.
The federation also states that players have an “obligation” to play for the national team.
Fact: the world has caught up internationally, and the game is more competitive than ever, rightfully so
Fact: the US had a talented enough roster to make a deeper run, but coaching and (lack of) tactics stood in their way
both can be and are true
I promise you, absolutely nothing Sabrina could have done tonight, what line she shot from, whether she won or lost, would have been right in the eyes of a misogynist, and that sums up being a woman 👍
Luis Rubiales flipping the script, lying about the situation, blaming Jenni and refusing to step down is textbook. It’s exactly what I would expect him to do.
The question was never “would he resign” it was always “will they remove him”.
Now we wait.
The Spanish Federation needs to remember that there is no Spanish Federation without the players.
There is no WC victory without the players.
There is no money, fame, power, or glory for any of them without the players.
They EXIST because of the players.
PROTECT THEM.
Caitlin Clark…🤦♀️ Her dad needs to jack her up after this game. She can hold every record and continues to embarrass herself on a national stage. The epitome of attitude overshadowing talent

Spain’s women’s football team announce they will not play another match until Spanish football president Luis Rubiales resigns, which he refuses to do.
Rubiales grabbed team member Jenni Hermoso and planted a non-consensual kiss on her lips at the World Cup final.
Matildas hugging sobbing Denmark players, Chloe Kelly telling the camera not to film Chiamaka Nnadozie, Kosovare Asllani saying "don't talk shit about the US women" - I think most players fundamentally understand that could be them, and losing comes for us all some day
listening to that podcast……ali fr found out ashlyn filed for divorce when midge broke the news to her mid-training like midge pulled her off the field and said there’s an article out abt the divorce and ali’s response was “what divorce? what filing?” ……like excuse me WHAT
KATIE LEDECKY IS A BOSS
She has a 25 metre lead on the rest of the field in the 1500m. Look at this. Half a pool lead.
It’s her race. It’s her world. She is the greatest ever. What a pleasure to watch another world class performance.
Tobin’s comment about Sonnett really got me, “i don’t think you were put into a situation to succeed, and you succeeded fucking anyway.”
Like fr, we joke, but big respect because who else could have done what she did.
Jenni Hermoso was essentially sexually assaulted, live broadcasted on television, by the President of the Spanish FA.
If you need more evidence of the corruption of said federation, watch and see what happens from here.
there is no one to blame but @ ussoccer, they had every opportunity to replace this head coach prior to this tournament, but a ‘yes man’ was more important to them than a deep run/5th star
“They invented this tournament so they could just win another trophy” 🤚 the Gold Cup has existed since 1991, this is simply the first year Concacaf decided to implement the tournament for the women.
SheBelieves? Yeah that one we made up to give ourselves a trophy.
Alex can’t play as a true 9 with Sop and Trin because like TH said, they’re not wingers who service, they want the ball at their feet.
The game plan has to change to either put servers in with Alex, or use her to draw defenders and create space.
Neither of which is happening.
Again, I BEG people to imagine Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappé, and Haaland all tore their ACLs in one season and all missed the World Cup.
Imagine the research, imagine the outcry. But because it’s happening to women, no one gives a flying fuck.
Vlatko was successful when he first started because he was given a World Cup Champion team. Then his tactics started to show and we fell apart.
Emma has been given a team struggling to have an identity, and in one camp has them playing footie we haven’t seen in over 3 years 🙏
ok forget the Netflix WC documentary, I want a camera following Emma Hayes around for the first month in Atlanta.
Show me Emma at a Waffle House. Show me Emma taking MARTA. Show me Emma trying to drive in downtown traffic. Show me Emma getting yelled at ordering at The Varsity.
Tobin is right tho, Sophia and Trinity don’t play in to Alex the way she’s used to, so essentially you have forwards that are on 3 different pages. It’s no wonder we can’t finish.
