For motorboater and ginny76. Just an FYI whenever either of your countries play I root for them not against them. I don't understand your anti US attitude as we have been allies for decades and have supported each other. Hell I am rooting for England right now against Germany.

For those of you who are Americans.

You now know what it's like to be English.

Disliked by everyone & only liked in a war when everyone wants you on their side.

So far so good at least we're giving Germany a game.
Having seen Japan against England I don't think that the U.S.A will lose.

FYI, the war is over and this is football.

First, I want to wish the English women's team the best of luck, they deserve some...

Portland Thorns Coach on WWC Final matchup

Quote:

Two different styles, two great rivals, two brilliant defensive units, two of the best midfielders in the world in Holiday and Miyama, but there can only be one World Champion come Sunday night.

It's one of the most important weekends in the U.S. calendar, which represents every Americans right to live free.
If Coach Ellis continues to be brave and give the midfield the freedom they crave the U.S. will win the game and Portland Thorn FC superstar Alex Morgan will grab the winner and the U.S. will lift the trophy for the first time since 1999.

The women's game continues to expand and race across all the continents. In 2019 we will welcome the world’s best powers back to France where new dreams will be made and new ambitions met.

Generations to come will look back on this World Cup as the watershed moment in women's soccer.

The U.S. will lift the cup on Sunday and new superstars will be born. Enjoy the game it is going to be a classic. Special good luck to Tobin and Alex and we look forward to their return with a championship medal round their necks.

Going into extra time England have got to go for it. Win or lose no matter what. I'm dreading a penalty shootout. We always lose those.

Thanks for the update...but I am actually watching this game! And we seem to be holding our own against a side that's battered us the last couple of times they've played us, so once again, the girls are doing very well!

**jokerman** · July 4th, 2015, 10:34 PM

Good grief. We've won.

To various yanks, The 'anti-yank' post are prolly just 'comedy-hate' posts.

Not like a mancunian hating the scousers (that's actually the law, we mancunians have to hate the scousers), or northerners hating the cockneys, (what an annoying accent 'cockney' is), and as for Lancastrians hating ruddy Yorkhsire tykes, don't get me started!

All that women's football I've watched for the last couple of weeks???
And it was A BIG let down. Not a single shirt swap in the whole tournament.

What a waste of time
