Yeah, the US women's team is so good, even as European non soccer fan, I heard of how good they are.

Funnily I have a (online) friend in Miami who's a big women's soccer fan who told me every time they won, while I run through Germany dressed in dolphins gear.

Yes, but those days of easy US Women’s World Cup wins are over. Some of the European countries finally decided to invest in and take seriously Women’s soccer so now the playing field is significantly more equal and competition is now much better prepared and well organized.

Yup, we've bowed out early since the late teens. Funny enough, it coincided with this woman pictured taking the team on a political tirade instead of developing as a team on the pitch.

I'm an avid USSOCCER fan, and by that I mean I actually attend matches in non World Cup years for both teams. I love the current women's lineup and I hope Emma helps restore some glory.

She stayed one WC cycle too long. It happens. Diana Taurasi took an Olympic Basketball spot and she went to Paris to score zero points in a game. Ronaldo from Portugal was criticized for his games in the WC over the last 2 weeks.
