Just looked up the highlights. Seemed to be a pretty fun match and well deserved victory. 
Good job ladies.

With all that said, I'm already sick of M. Rapinoe's politicizing her sexual preferences and role in the team in general, and the "equal pay!" controversy swirling around them is starting to make them look like a joke. Too bad they couldn't just let people enjoy their performance in the sport and on the world stage.
Well, the sad truth is that every sport that starts to attract money becomes a platform for somebody's agenda.
It's always been this way, though in recent years, the agendas start to become more and more annoying and sometimes kind of insane.
It is indeed a sad truth. I just want to enjoy the game/movie/story whatever without some agenda getting shoved down my throat. When that starts happening I exit stage left taking my attention span and wallet with me.Well, the sad truth is that every sport that starts to attract money becomes a platform for somebody's agenda.

If everybody did that, it would change very quickly. But humans are weird.
Oh give me a break. It was M. Rapinoe who first put her fat finger into it with the public displays of disrespecting the flag of the country that allowed for and provided the basis to rise to the top of a sport where she's living like a millionaire and feted by society at large. All he did was call her on her bull manure. And you see what's happening? People who should be heroes are polarizing our society more than ever with their infantile, nonsensical displays that drag the focus as far away from their sporting achievements as it's possible to get.
Let me know when you have something decent, because that was pretty weak, my friend
Still no invitation to the White House ? To celebrate the victory of the United States.
All acts have an agenda as we live in a political society - if you don't notice it then it probably confirms your stance on things, but it still has a political bias, overt or not.
