She was still laughing as she rejoined her teammates at the halfway line during the shootout

Rapinoe herself spoke to FOX briefly after the game: 'I thought we played really well, I am so happy for us that we went out playing the way that we did.

And I have defended the others. And the team as a whole.

That's great. I didn't say otherwise. We seem to be pretty closely aligned on this. You came at me hot, I have no idea why. But I know that's the kind of thing that had me put you on ignore ( I peak sometimes). I accept your apology and I like you, actually, but I end up wasting time like this when we go back and forth. No offense intended. We just don't get each other, even when we agree.

This is exactly what makes me smile about all this. I don’t watch women’s soccer (really any women’s sport) and don’t mich care one way or the other about MR.

I do, however, find the reactions interesting. One person can exercise their free speech and the reaction and disgust is explained away with “hey, you’ve got free speech but there are consequences that come with that!”

Some girls on the Olympic team representing the US exercise their free speech running down the country they represent, and it’s pearl clutching when people aren’t exactly rooting for them.

yep - don't watch much soccer; guess I could get behind it for national pride but the team kinda decided national pride isn't a big deal so why should I be vested in their success or failure?

The 2nd leading scorer in NWSL this year and leading scorer last year (former BYU player Ashley Hatch) was left off the team. Her spot went to Rapinoe....

A tall 28 year old goal-scoring center forward who can score in the air would have been far more valuable as a complement or backup to Alex Morgan than a washed 38 year old....

Everything he said is factual.

Apparently, you don't know what a fact is. "The USA is going to hell" is not a statement that you can even make an argument for it being based on fact. Also, the "woker" USWNT won the WC, so that pokes a hole in the woke = failure "fact" he put in all caps.
