    yet another reason why they should just keep it in house and go with an east vs west format.

    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

      Agreed. Leave the international friendlies to actual teams (even though MLS teams got destroyed in friendlies this year).

        So the inside jokes are what ran off SU?

          Donovan to retire at the end of the season. Looks like he really was just hanging on to try to play on one more world cup team.

            Didn't want to start a new thread. US scores 4 goals in the first 17 minutes over Japan in the final. Japan puts one on the board 10 minutes later. Carli Loyd with a hat trick in 14 minutes.

                  I actually watched a soccer game from beginning to end other than the ones my granddaughters participate in.

                  Saw a game with some real athletic plays and also some real class and sportsmanship. Really enjoyed it.

                    Good to see this team get the WC monkey off their backs. They were probably the best team at the last two cups but kept having defensive lapses at key moments. That was definitely the case in the final against Japan in 2011. Good to see them finally win it all and get revenge against Japan in a big way.

                      We sure do love our women's national team.

                      The United States’ 5-2 victory over Japan in the Women’s World Cup final on Sunday was seen by 25.4 million viewers on Fox — a record for any soccer game, men’s or women’s, shown on English-language television in this country.

                      With nearly 1.3 million viewers watching on Telemundo, the Spanish-language station, the total of 26.7 million also exceeds the record 26.5 million combined viewers that saw Germany beat Argentina in last year’s men’s World Cup final on ABC and Spanish-language Univision.

                      In effect, the United States women are now champions on two fronts, a testament to their enduring talent and to their appeal to an American public that increasingly seems tuned in to soccer.
