    I place my women’s soccer bets based on the best looking team. I’m all in with Sweden and the Netherlands…

    This thread is an embarrassment.

    There have been lesbians on the team since day 1. Rapinoe was a star on our winning teams along with many other alternative lifestyle athletes.

    I see a lot of troll posts.

    8 LGBTQ+ Players Who Paved the Way - Girls Soccer Network

    We've always had gay players. Since day one and are easily the best team of all-time. If I were a gay person this forum would be an extremely hostile environment. Posts with zero substance about bearded ladies? How does that get by moderation. It's an anti-LGTBQ post. Is Gatorcountry LGTBQ friendly or not. From this thread? The answer is no.

    Wow. You missed the whole thread though.
    I’m pretty sure the pushback is for those players who take their off-the-field positions more seriously than on-the-field responsibilities.
    You’re either very sensitive or you skipped over the thread looking for a fight.
    OR, and I’m just throwing this out there…or your the German version of dangole.

    No, you sound like the one who missed this thread. There have been plenty of potshots taken at this team's looks or sexual orientations.

    I really enjoy hearing the NA when the singer has a big voice and puts a lot of energy into it. The wife is a big fan every time.

    Those shots were specifically aimed at the players who are more interested in themselves than the team.
    They earned it.

    No, they didn't. What did happen was that their performance this time around was used as a pretext to bring misogyny and homophobia into the discourse.

    But since you are ok with both those things, you can't understand it.

    It’s no secret that lesbians are good at soccer. Did you really think you opened up the thread? What has changed is they are working the cameras more than the ball into the net.

    You are so off on this one.
    Go do your homework and get back to me. You know nothing about women or soccer.
    I’d tell you to take a lap but my sense is you would not get up off the couch.

    Actually, the original Brandi Chasten/Hamm USWNT was what got me into appreciating soccer. Before that, I was the typical American football/baseball/hoops lunkhead.

    As for women, my multi-decade marriage and 2 amazing daughters tend to differ with that assessment.

    not sure I follow your logic. My first pro baseball game I watched bo Jackson hit a line drive home run that looked like it didn’t get 10 Feet off the ground the whole way…..am I allowed to post about baseball ?

    As past players had said. This team lacked chemistry and fitness to be honest.

    My middle plays soccer. She just had one of the great seasons in the Spring when we finally went travel for her. Coach Pezz was truly one of the great youth coaches. And her focus was fitness. If you can’t finish the game you will lose. We lost our first game and tied our second getting pushed around. Unfortunately she had two teams and her 08s are legit great and was her priority. But when she got a hold of the 10s…we ended up going into our last match at Hancock Park in Clermont with a chance to win the second GCF Championship ever for our league (win we are champs tie have to wait). We were beat 2-0 the first go around as I mentioned being pushed around. Not this time. We controlled the entire game except for 5 minutes. My middle scored the first goal of the game and unfortunately in that 5 minute stretch they tied it. We had multiple good opportunities to win it be we ended up winning the Championship with the tie.

    All that to say. Coach Pezz played at Penn State. After chatting I learned not to run a 5K at her pace. She runs marathons and gets it. She posted about and tagged “Carli Lloyd” her former teammate to agree “they don’t look fit”.

    This team unfortunately had no chance imo. Mentally and physically….

    Saw him play in college and he was so good against that competition it was frightening. I was worried he was going to hurt one of the boys on the field.
