golfaddict1 Posted July 24 Author Report Share Posted July 24 USA had a few nice chances in the 2nd half, but the French goalie played well and unfortunately, USA hit a post and a crossbar. France nets 3 in the 2nd half and dominates overall possession. 2 rips from midrange nicely placed and a set piece corner kick header. USA goal ruled offsides 3 minutes into ET. 4 min to go. 3-0 France. Final 3-0 France. French soccer legend Henri is coaching France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pied Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 FYI - for those not aware, Olympic soccer is a watered down U23 tournament. Each team gets one or two older guys, but you're not going to see many if any players that just played in the Euros or Copa America and a big deal is tat clubs are not required to release players, so many really good ones are back training with their clubs. Ricardo Pepi for instance is a player that would be on the team but he scored a hat trick in a friendly yesterday for PSV Eindhoven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted July 25 Author Report Share Posted July 25 USA Network is airing Women’s Handball now. If you’ve never watched this sport before, have a look. It’s a shame that the U.S. hasn’t caught onto this sport yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pied Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Another great sport, maybe the perfect TV sport imo is being played now and that is Rugby 7s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handball all day lol High level basketball players would likely excel in this sport for the U.S… especially those who participated in both basketball and baseball. Also dual threat QB’s, with above avg. height. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfaddict1 Posted July 25 Author Report Share Posted July 25 All but the kitchen sink has been shot at Zambia in the first 15 min. 16th min, USA finally scores. Trinity Rodman, nice spin move and rip (yup, daughter of Dennis). Two very similar goals for Swanson in a hurry. 3-0 at 25th minute. Rout is on. Final 3-0. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanson, Rodman, and Smith are all fast, well skilled, and very creative up front, but haven't been adept at finishing against top competition. Although Zambia is not exactly top competition, maybe this is a turning point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it. It’s been proven that the best women in the world at a sport are equivalent to average to above average high school boys. And that’s not a knock. They don’t have the bone density, muscle mass or fast twitch muscles to compete seriously with men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
