Not gung-ho about the women being underpaid. I am happy for them.
I believe in a society where people make sense of numbers and not public persuasion. And as it stands... the women's champions should not make as much as the men's.

That is fine. But the US men aren't even sniffing a championship. So not sure what men's WC champ salaries have to do with US men salaries. 7/9/2019 1:28:06 AM

the women are complaining/suing because the men's WC champions make more, and bc the men's WC teams make more for each game that they win compared to the women. 7/9/2019 1:36:46 AM

you WTF'd earlier about my "they have to start somewhere" comment. maybe they are just pissed because they don't routinely lose soccer games like their male counterparts and want a raise? Why the fuck are you hating on someone trying to get a raise? You shouldn't try to prevent people from earning money, nobody likes that. 7/9/2019 1:40:19 AM

Went looking in the ESPNFC writeup for the inevitable coach comment that any game on the road in CONCACAF shouldn't be an assumed win, and yep there was one.
"It was never going to be easy and come here and win the game. There was no way."
Always gotta go into Canada, Guatemala, El Salvador, etc. just hoping for a draw at best! 10/16/2019 6:33:08 AM

I still maintain that Berhalter is not the answer, unfortunately Earnie Stewart's boss is now Greg's brother. So they are not going to make a change.
The problem is the players have obviously not bought into his tactics, there was no creativity in the attack last night and a majority of players seemed to be just going through the motions 10/16/2019 9:46:56 AM

It's almost like US Soccer has regressed. I don't get it. We still have players in the pros in Europe and the USA. Some of them are pretty good too. We aren't a college all star team like in the past. 10/16/2019 9:08:57 PM

I told you guys this would happen. If you pay someone a top salary regardless of poor performance, then there is much less incentive to perform well. There already is little to no social shame in losing at soccer in this country so when, in terms of pay, they are thrust well above their counterparts who are the best in the world, for losing, why bust your ass to win?
The salary structure they have now should be more incentivized on winning and there should be reverse incentive placed on losing. 10/16/2019 9:47:02 PM

Tab Ramos took Houston Dynamo head coach job.
Apparently he'd been stripped of most of his roles at USSF recently other than head coach of the U-20s, and his attacking and pressing style was probably at odds with our recent play out the back style we're miserably executing at the senior level. This federation is in absolute shambles right now.

Glad we got revenge on Canada. Surprisingly McKennie didn’t do anything in the game. Jordan Morris did well in the 1st half. 11/16/2019 10:30:24 PM

Honestly its sad that this had to be a revenge game.
Still have some concerns about the tactics and lineups and playing to our strengths. 11/18/2019 11:05:47 AM

That court filing was wild. Their defense in a discrimination case was that men had "more responsibility" than women. Imagine being that blind of your own bias. 3/12/2020 2:02:28 AM

They also claim they should pay the men more because men's tournaments pay out more than women's. So since FIFA pays women less it's ok for USA soccer to pay women less.
