The woman's players all play oversese where the League is stronger.
Woman's soccer us no longer a game a just strength and power. Foot skill is required.
Unfortunately the USA team doesn't seem to have feet skill
Remember when Megan got lost on that wilderness excursion? Search and rescue found her floating face down in Ricki Lake.
Toxic wokelinity has taken the US female soccer team to Bud Light levels.
Disagree. They over-celebrated a pathetic draw against Portugal
You are an idiot if you think this was okay in any way
Should dock their pay.
Carli Lloyd did not look upset or unprofessional like Pierce said. She did not act like Charlie Davies yelling, screaming and interrupting everyone with long rants. Man, what a sensitive guy being upset because a world champion and great competitor told the truth about the Rapinos
France has a lot of injuries…d cascarino,katoto,malard,mbock…3 definite starters
MEGAN RAPINOE'S TOXICITY IS STILL HARMING THE AMERICAN TEAM.!
EVEN THOU SHE'S BEEN BENCHED, DUE TO HER NOW BEING A WASHED UP HAS BEEN.!
MAYBE WHEN SHE HAS RETIRED AND TOTALLY DISAPPEARED, THE TEAM CAN START BEING PROUD OF THERE COUNTRY ONCE AGAIN, AND RESPECTING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, SOMETHING THAT RAPINEO HATES SO MUCH, WITH HER ACTIVISM AND SOCIALIST IDEOLOGY.!
THAT'S LEADING THE GIRL'S DOWN A DARK PATH, EVEN THERE FAN'S NOW WANT THEM TO LOSE.!
HOW CAN THING'S BE ANY WORSE.?!
OH CRAP I KNOW HOW.!
JUST IMAGINE HAVING TWO MEGAN RAPINOE'S.!
DID YOU KNOW SHE HAS A TWIN.! 😳😬😭
Dad says "Carly's comment is so right and she is entitled to it. In the last World Cup, Carly's only goal made the USA team earn a medal!"
Rare bad take by you guys. Your example about the Vancouver game is irrelevant because…. THEY WON. Celebrating a tie or the horrible group stage is proof this team does not have a top level mentality. Imagine if this happened on the men's side… they'd be crucified
Sorry to beat a dead horse but these guys are giving the players too much credit. This tam played like crap all the way through the group stage. I’m not convinced they’re able to play any better. Making contrived excuses for their behavior is a joke. Carli is right, they are arrogant on the backs of their predecessors and their priorities need to be realigned.
Something is missing since Swanson's injury. I recommend this playlist for those who want to see how the big teams have evloved these 1-2 years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppELWXqck-8&list=PLoMQcSDeHlC0dJhFNlqklShI5M3mb9XwL&pp=iAQB
These comments are confusing, in no way did these guys take some hardline stance against Carli's authority to make criticism or that the team is playing good – I think unlike the anthem mob they weren't eager to read into them being happy they moved on and also addressing more important aspects of what's happening right now.
The sooner they get knocked out of metal contention – the better!
I have been waiting for people to be critical of the women the same way they are of the men’s team, this was the perfect moment to agree with Carli, who needs no introduction, and say we ain’t it right now. In no way do we look like a championship team right now
Rapinoe making it about herself?! nah, no way!!! LOL
Our federations ‘best’ skill seems to be hiring and keeping/rehiring mediocre coaches.
The players should be sighing in relief making it through to the knockouts maybe tempering the celebration.
Also, are their any players that have earned the right to criticize the USWNT more than Carli?
The problem is that we assume all these various players are super stars… but are they really, or are they simply massively overhyped cuz they are American.
heck yeah let's bring the USMNT negativity to the team that has two straight world cups
fake it til you make it
So what, the USWNT is now so precious now that there beyond criticism, that funny, they played horrible and they're lucky they made the round of 16 , i don't believe what LlOYD said is anything beyond what the USWNT deserve to be said about them. Ill tell you what thoe. Lloyd words will come true when the USWNT is eliminated by a powerful Powerful SWEDEN team. That team is has great ball movement and is much more advanced then the US is, and i think Lloyd ( who was a a great player) is pointing that out, that the USWNT has fallen behind yet they where celebrating, cmon, the standards are much higher than that.
The team has been awful. Carli came across like a curmudgeon. Both things can be true.
ARROGANCE is their main problem.
This is the worst ISWT. Pierce commenting on Carli Lloyd’s popularity. Wow, she was a captain and 2 time world champion. You know Michael Jordan was not very well liked at times, but he pushed his team to win. Change the channel’s name to Rapinoe we Worship. Good grief guys.
Carli Lloyd is right. Stop cuddling Rapinoe and company.
Alex Morgan is done!! let that youngster 11 start center.
I agree 💯 % with Carli, what "win" were they celebrating?? It was a desperate draw playing horribly, against a supposedly inferior opponent!! And you guys were creating these excuses or motives for their behavior 😡😡
Be awake but not Woke and ditch the cancerous attitude from Rapino.
It is the tactics thats to blame, everything falls on Vlatko, the talent is here to dominate and put teams under pressure, but when Portugal dominates the USA for 90 minutes, that is a major problem. This team looks like they have no idea how to play, talk all you want about Jill Ellis, but she was a great coach, you have more than 12 players on the team, when you are allowed 5 subs, why is Vlatko not using them??? The Netherlands game was there to be had in the second 45, but he only made 1 sub, I think this team is tired, Sweden made 9 changes to their team last night and still won the game. I blame everything on the coaching, but i do agree 100% with everything Carli Lloyd said, there is alot of arrogance on this team and maybe getting knocked out in the rd of 16 will be the best thing to happen, sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom to realize things need to change. Play for the name on the front, NOT the name on the back!!!
« They were dancing and smiling … »
N-O-O-O-O-O-o-o-o-o-o-o…
Carli is right, this team has gone way too woke, now they are playing like a joke. Activism has distracted and divided the team.
Has Jimmy forgotten that the biggest star in the World Cup isn’t from the us?
It is fine celebrating reaching the next stage. The USA have just an ordinary team among many other teams that are just as strong or stronger and surviving a hard group stage where you are not the best team can be celebrated, look at Jamaica and South Africa.
The USWNT will get some bud light on the way home on Sunday.
This podcast sucks
Full respect for CL. Taking a knee when it comes to Megan. OK if Sweden sends this team packing.
How with a behavior like that in a world cup, you want to be like the mens NT? They have a bad performance, they go back and plan and recap the mistakes. Would you been celebrating after playing like that in a WORLD CUP?….
You are in the world cup, not a simple match, you are playing vs the best of the world, but you go there and celebrate do a fashion show and just been focused on other aspects of non game instead of having your focus on WORL CUP?!?!
Simple: name one head coach on the mens world cup that would allow his team to celebrate and give a fashion show after a performance like the WN team for the USA in the WORLD CUP!
Rapinoe should have been left at home.
They didn’t even sing your national anthem they disrespected you and your whole country and you think that’s ok your not patriotic just like your woke football team
Americans celebrating and Portuguese frustrated for drawing. how the world changed.
Rapino doesn't play for the love of country or even the love of sport. She plays for the love of Rapinoe. She's become a cancer to the team.
These guys have loser mentalities written all over them. Did he really compare Vancouver Galaxy to the #1 team in the world playing the 27th? Yeah how many Championships do they have compared to Carli Again
