U.S. WINS WORLD CUP

[Torplexed]

VJ day makes a brief return! What a great way to finish the tournament up for the US. They put this game so far out of reach so quickly, but never took that lead for granted. Well done, ladies. Enjoy it...you've certainly earned it.

Edit: Too late I guess.

Sorry Mister Blatter.
This won't stop the DOJ from coming after you and your leutenants.

It's an easy way to milk money out of your cash cow.

I am a hockey fan and a hat trick is a huge feat in that sport, and not common, in the game known to my country as soccer, it is nearly unheard of. Carli Lloyd is a beast.

These girls have always been amazing, every year they make us proud, even if they lose, they fight and never give up.

These girls shattered records, and this is from a country whos teams gets sneered/ridiculed at by Europe, as if watching a toddler try to ride a bike for the first time. Look at them play our sport.

I find it a double insult, Japan and USA in the finals, 2 "outsiders".

Europe, we are stealing your sport.

**Jaws music**


(edit: I would do filthy things to Alex Morgan....)

Like make her wash my socks or something....*whistles innocently*

Eh? Where do you get your information from?
Last time I heard the German coach speak about the US team (before the match), she praised the willpower and ability to fight of the US team. Not sure how that matches with what you said above...

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 *

That's true I guess. Most BS comments about football I have read came from Americans who complain that "nothing happens" or that there are "no goals ever".

Yeaahhh sounds like true experts...

I'd be surprised if the latest success won't do anything for the sport in the USA, it should become more popular over night, really.
At least I hope so.
