And there have been several very tense and exciting games. As for the controversy-the whole U.S. is blowing up pro or con for what happened yesterday. Surprisingly (in my mind) most people registering in seem to be quite critical of the players' celebrati... 

I think this is an interesting comparative stat....

An estimated 1,120 Million (1.1 Billion) people world-wide watched the 2018 Men's World Cup Final. An estimated 27 Million people world-wide watched the 2015 Women's World Cup Final. I think that's a fair assessment of the relative global interest in the ... 

Putting aside the fact that men are stronger, and maybe faster, the women's game is really just as exciting and well-played as the men.

I think it's a shame that so many countries put in so little, and even no, money in support of their women. Jamaica is there through charitable contributions.

I didn’t say they were on the same level.

Physically, and with universally much less resources, it is not the same. But for excitement, and competitiveness, it’s as good.

Well it took 92 minutes but they pulled it off What’s more remarkable is that since this team started to show their potential, ladies soccer has taken an incredible increase in popularity back home At least according to what I hear from back home Out here...

...the quality isn’t very good and there is far too much difference in national talent. I won’t feel sorry for the Thai team (because goal differential may matter), but as an American I was very unhappy with the lack of class (excessive celebrating) from ... 

I didn’t see the USA game yesterday

But thank you for your last comment. As a fellow American, I have always thought that many of our national sports stars and teams could benefit from learning to both win and lose with greater dignity and class. In our country there is so much focus on the... 

I like to see my country win...

...but part of sportsmanship (that I still believe in) is winning the right way. Running up the score is one thing...an anomaly of group play. But have some regard for the other team when celebrating. It is a shame that Thailand had to be in that situatio...
