"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
We're all in! We have season tickets to the Portland Thorns and at least 9 players on our team are gone to play for various world cup teams. We've got so many teams we can cheer for!

I'm a former ODP player and I'm so excited! We're going to try and squeeze as many games this weekend as possible. I'm Team USA forever and always! I grew up watching Mia Hamm and Michelle Akers play at the Chula Vista training center while my parents refereed so it's such a crazy link back to my childhood.
England v Scotland on Sunday will be something else - just the rivalry between countries is so huge in so many ways. Can't wait to see some good games.
Well after the women's final was set for July 7, CONCACAF and CONMEBOL scheduled their own major matches (Gold Cup and Copa America) for the same fucking day.
to add insult to injury, i tried watching the Morgan highlights attached to the bottom of that article and it was some blurry shots of her taking shots - some goals and some misses, some where you couldn't even tell - and then a bunch of closeups of her face.

I think it's good for us to get the negative stuff out of our systems now because I think the media is only going to give us more to be angry about and I want this tournament to be about the women and their skills.
I'm at work but I'm going to tell my 2:00 pm meeting person that I need a hard stop by shortly before 3:00 so I can stream (I hope I can catch as much fanfare as possible before the match starts).

Very excited! I'm bummed that I'll be on the road while Scotland v. England is on, but I'm excited that I get to watch a Scotland match with my dad while I'm back home!
I don't think USWNT is going to win it. The last few matches I've watched just don't make me hopeful. DH and his family are always cheering on Germany and they're my go-to when the US or Scotland (lol) are not playing.

WTF CONCACAF
This is ridiculous. Wonder how many women were involved in this final decision.

Streaming Japan vs. Argentina now but reallllly wanted to stream the next match too (Canada vs. Cameroon), but I have meetings, boooo.
This weekend's matches were great. Italy vs. Australia was so exciting at the end. I was so rooting for Jamaica but I knew Brazil would have their number. I did have to miss England vs. Scotland.
I caught up on a few matches today: France vs South Korea, England vs. Scotland, and Australia vs. Italy. France really impressed me. Plus I'm in love with that uniform, it's why I was rooting for France during the World Cup last year.
