mattyice0401 784 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Watching the NHL lottery and kinda find it interesting how they approach it, They dont drop any ping pong balls live on TV or anything just walk out with the stack of teams in the draft order and read them off as is.

I certainly didn't. I had heard about the women's team being there. One of the ladies used to either be dating or married to a football player. I have no idea whether the US Men's team has ever made a World Cup...I just assume they had by happenstance at least once. I know the women's team has certainly. 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heimdallr 3,488 Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 The US has never finished worse than 3rd since the Women's World Cup started. 1991 - Champions 1995 - 3rd 1999 - Champions 2003 - 3rd 2007 - 3rd 2011 - 2nd (lost on penalties in the Final) 2015 - Champions 2019 - Champions The current USWNT is completely dominant. There are only a couple teams that can even make games competitive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a big soccer guy at all, but this seems weird to me. The US men's team made the World Cup every cycle from 90-2014. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The US men's team made the World Cup every cycle from 90-2014. Wow, it is impressive that they made the tournament. I hardly knew there was even a US national team for men's soccer. One way I recall the fact they exists was seeing a headline a year or two ago about the men's team getting paid more than the women's team. Obviously, I didn't click into the article but on the surface it seems absurd that a team that most don't know exist is getting paid more than the women's team that I had actually seen some coverage on.

Heimdallr 3,488 Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Speaking of the men's national team... Nation's League champions. Absolutely insane game. However, the entire country of Mexico should be embarrassed for the behavior of their fans, and I hope CONCACAF (finally) issues some strong sanctions. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CONCACAF (governing body of soccer in NA/CA/Caribbean) needed to put in new rules to prevent it, one of them being that the refs need to stop the game if it happens, which they did towards the end of the game. 2. After the US scored to go ahead, they threw bottles and garbage at the celebrating players, and one of them got hit in the head and needed medical attention. At the end of the game it happened again after a foul, and this time one of the Mexican players ended up taking a bottle to the head. There was also other stuff like someone running out onto the field, and the Mexican coach got thrown out of the game because he bothered the ref while he was looking at a video replay. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah they definitely should face some penalties for that, Mexico is very passionate about soccer but theres no excuse for that. Wonder if they could do something to affect their WC bid?
