I think my point could be summarized as follows: lmao whoops

The match between two crappy teams sucked and the level of play was in fact much higher than watching any women's match you could show me. Looks like I win.

I love this abstract "level of play" thing you've concocted, which your absolutely cannot quantity in any meaningful way. I'm sure the other proud boys find it quite convincing.

I've played soccer, have you?

Oh yes please regale us with your tales in the rec league.

Oh shit, you played?? I take back everything I said!

I just don't think you guys even understand the basics. I know Mickey doesn't.

Oh yeah for sure man, like many others I too spend hours watching a game that I don't even remotely understand and have definitely never played.

"If you've played the game then you know women's soccer is just not as enjoyable to watch" is just peak dumb-guy shit.

You lack credibility

Yeah but you think that Gold Cup final was a watchable & well played match, so..

No.

I didn't say either of those things. I said the level of player is higher than any women's game that has ever or will ever be played. Which is true.

You're a depressed loser who has lost his appetite for sex and is spending his increased free time constructing a conceptual artifice to shit on women's sports and in particular to advance the claim that any teenage youth squad could beat the USWNT, which I highly suspect just so happens to be the highest level of "playing soccer" that you've achieved and also the last time you were truly happy.

Clearly you’ll never come close to respecting female athletes, so fine. Enjoy yourself. Let’s talk Premier League in late August.

Figured this was coming. Was trying to keep it civil but I guess it’s the internet!

Other than "loser" I'd say this is not only civil but also precisely the kind of psychological intervention Bryan desperately needs

I really just wanted to talk about how great the USWNT is & how much of a shit stain the USMNT is, but this where we are in 2019 ‘murica I guess.

To be fair, you are on a Pearl Jam message board in 2019. Though I can't say you'd have a better experience on, say, Twitter.

If the men were really good would you even care?

Of course I would, I'm an American who loves soccer. I want them to be great like the women are great, but the entire men's program has been a dumpster fire for decades at this point.

Do you mean the basics like keeping the ball out of the middle on defense, kicking it up the side, then back into the middle on offense? (As opposed to the more advanced method of keeping the ball out of the middle on defense, kicking it up the side, then back into the middle on offense)

Hey guys I found a poll that verb voted in:

Lol I don't think that
