Rapinoes 3 favorite people in the world are Megan, Rapinoe, and Megan Rapinoe. Just ask her. Actually no need to ask, she’ll tell you beforehand.

Nobody works that hard is as self-absorbed as you portray.

Is this about the lawsuit? Or something else?

Now I'm curious.
 
Like this seems like me and Stevie me level hate.

And at least that guy held his club for ransom twice with handing in transfer requests to get a massively inflated contract

Great player. Selfish person. Quotes below.

Soccer star Megan Rapinoe has vowed to continue her national anthem protests while representing the US in next month’s Women’s World Cup — calling it a “good ‘F you'” to the Trump administration.

“I’ll probably never put my hand over my heart,” the 33-year-old national co-captain told Yahoo sports. “I’ll probably never sing the national anthem again.”

“I feel like I’m a walking protest,” she told the site

“Because I’m as talented as I am, I get to be here, you don’t get to tell me if I can be here or not.

Hating Trump is fine, I’m sure all of her teammates do. They also aren’t running to the nearest camera to tell you about it.

720 airplane spin into the sliding double leg fart. Up 9-0. On Thailand. #Captain
 
Timo staying in France

@usmntonly: An agreement has reportedly been reached for Tim Weah to leave PSG for Lille for €10M.

We can't all be the true #patriot you are, sd3.
 
As a non-soccer fan, I still like watching the USWNT in the World Cup, so I checked in on this thread to see what people were talking about after a 13-0 beat-down. Aaaaand we have lesbian jokes and bitching about the kind of boastful confidence that is standard issue for any world-class athlete.

Nice job team.

lol of course Screamindemon3 doesn't like rapinoe because of her politics. how fucking obvious was that going to be.

she's also a lesbian. double whammy.
 
But yeah, no reason to embarrass Thailand beyond 7-0 or 8-0. Just kill the game for the last 15 minutes.

No one says shit when American NBA stars defeat Team X 150-30 in the Olympics, but somehow the USWNT is a collection of sore winners.

As for Rapinoe, she probably doesn't give a fuck what you think, and rightly so.

BARCELONA '92 OLYMPICS : Barkley Spoils His Best Shots by Taking the Worst One of All : Basketball: He leads U.S. with 24 points but throws a flagrant elbow that mars 116-48 rout of Angola.
MARK HEISLER
TIMES STAFF WRITER

They came to see a dream but they got the dark side of the force, too.

Proving he can embarrass himself in any context, Charles Barkley put on a clinic in bad manners, highlighted by a technical foul for elbowing an Angola player, causing fans in the Palau d'Esports to whistle in derision.

That barely slowed Barkley, who scored a game-high 24 points, or the Dream Team, which crunched Angola, 116-48, Sunday in its Olympic debut.

However, it did spark a one-sided post-game debate.

On one side, you had Barkley.

On the other, everyone else.

Warming up shortly after entering the game, Barkley pushed David Dias, an Angolan who is about as big around as his thigh. Several minutes later, after making a layup, Barkley turned and elbowed Herlander Coimbra in the chest as he ran back upcourt.

The 6-foot-6, 176-pound Coimbra has a chest barely big enough to accommodate Barkley's elbow but Charles called it self-defense.

"He hit me, I hit him," Barkley said. "You guys wouldn't understand. It's a ghetto thing."

Lots of people didn't understand, many of them his teammates.

"If Charles would quit doing what he's doing, we'd get the cheers instead of the whistles," Michael Jordan said.

"There just wasn't any place for it. We were dominating the game. It could cause mixed feelings about the United States. There's already some ill feeling toward us. That didn't help the cause."

Said David Robinson, laughing: "Don't ask me about anything Charles does. Charles is Charles. I can't speak for Charles.

"I think it's important for us to be very cordial and very gracious. Of course, that stuff doesn't look gracious, but it's a part of basketball. And like it or not, it's a part of Charles.

"I can't control Charles. I haven't seen a person yet who can."

It's a tournament with GD as a tiebreaker, you have to keep scoring for 90 minutes (+3 in stoppage time as well, what a dumb decision to continue play). You don't have to celebrate like an assclown after doing so.

Half of the team and the coach are gay, I have no issue with that. But now that you mention it, she was the only one on the stage waiving her pride flag when accepting the trophy last year. More evidence that it's all about her in her head.
 
Yeah, I guess so. Does Sweden even have a chance against us ? GD doesn't extend beyond the group, right ?

The pride flag would suggest she is representing something bigger than herself to me and showing young folks that they can be themselves and still achieve their goals.

Your perception just seems to be different.

Correct, only used for tiebreakers in group play. They may have a small chance. Pia is still their coach, knows these US players as well as anyone. We've also played them in 5 straight WCs, IIRC. US should still be heavily favored, I'd think.
