They lost 5-2 to some under 15 boys. They would lose by whatever score the men’s team desired. 15, 20, it would be like playing against air and an empty net 

I always have to mention that the team was FC Dallas' U-15 team which had Tanner Tessman (who plays in Serie A) and several others on it.

One of the best academies in MLS.

But, yeah, practically any boys team over U-13s would beat the USWNT.

Golf not included. The “average” professional woman was +5 after two rounds yesterday in the LPGA tournament. An average high school boys golfer hasn’t shot +5 in a single round, let alone 36 holes, in their entire lives, nor will they ever. Tee box doesn’t matter.

Agreed.  I feel the same way about marathon running.  Even way above average high school distance runners likely wouldn't hang for more than 10km against top tier women's marathon runners.

USA women with a 2 goal buffer, nearing the end of half vs Germany in soccer.  

Swanson netted another goal.  She had 2 in the first game.  

Poland vs Japan women’s volleyball, I enjoyed prior.  Poland has serious height, with 6’8” and 6’7” players up front.  
They won in 4 sets.  It was very close in set 4.

Unfortunately, the Czechs were better looking.

True.  
The blonde looked nice, but the taller one had a Kerri Walsh Jennings look… very nice from the back view but…

The Czechia women weren’t dressed appropriately.  😂

This is awesome.  Snoop should be a full time play by play guy.  Never new Badminton could be so damn funny.  Yes I know how to post X and make it appear instead of a link. It's the DEI in me 😄

 

Snoop is the best, so chill and funny.

Absolutely.  Boxing has no shame sometimes.  Lol

Even the guy he fought said he won fair and square.   

In the Olympics, when you leave the scoring up to the interpretation of the judges, someone always gets screwed.

Agree.  But it wasn't the judges that did it.  It was the referee who called a late punch after he told them to break.  DQ.

Speaking of women's beach volleyball the little one for the US is from New Orleans and went to Mt Carmel> an all girls Catholic high school with an enrollment of about 1300 here.

The little one (Nuss) won 5 state championships in high school......3 volleyball and 2 basketball

Mt Carmel is considered a national Powerhouse in volleyball. Their highest ever ranking was 2018 when they finish #13 nationally.

They dipped a little bit last year though going 35-10 and actually lost to your school STA 2-0 in a preseason tournament. STA would go on to win a state championship

St Mary's (another large all girls Catholic school) was the team last year in New Orleans going 44-2 and finishing #18 in the nation.

Anyways the little one (Nuss) was a hell of an athlete in high school.

Pulling for them!!

Nuss> senior year at Mt Carmel they went 45-2 and won State.

Say what you will, but that's some pretty fast paced volleyball with a huge crowd.

Louisiana supports their Sports...

Mt Carmel in maroon.

Anyways, Go USA!

I didn't realize STA was a girl's volleyball Powerhouse. 

...7 volleyball State Championships and #22 National Ranking last year.

Of course I'm not some kind of huge girls volleyball nut, but I like to learn stuff.
