They played really well and deserved the title this year, just like Japan did 4 years ago. The German princesses (not too fond of this team, honestly) weren't convincing.
But then again, it's only women's football...  |
I heard that, she also called the American fans loud. The tone of the article seemed like she stopped short of calling them obnoxious, which is fine, they are.
But hey, we are patriotic as hell.
America does not help to foster the sport either, hard to get in a commercial break every 6 minutes.
I only think we were a joke is because it is not a highly popular sport here.
I was not crapping on you guys across the Atlantic, I just do not think Americans are given enough respect in this sport, these girls can now heal that image.
Our men even gave a great showing last time out, considering how much more competitive that is. (most the American men played on Euro Teams)
I just wish more Americans would embrace the sport, but you trans atlantic pirates keep stealing anyone good we have.
Our MLS sucks because you guys pay more. *sour grapes
