definitely womens soccer is more popular here than mens. but its also probably because the women are top 10 in the world and the men are like 110. we like watching winners (or teams that should have won.......).
I don't really watch soccer but had 2 separate people tell me they like women's better because there is much less flopping. I have no idea if that is true but If so its a good reason.

Only team I've seen flop so far was Ivory Coast.

Not sure if you're making a joke but I think Moss means the diving/feigning injury.

this sunday, is the most important day for this country, more important that "shark week", and also more important than "Terminator 5". im referring to the women's world cup final. USA vs Japan from Vancouver, gametime is 6pm central on FOX. we need every American soul near the tube on that day. we can do this, why, cause each and every one of us is a proud american.

You just made me realize that somehow, someway, someone needs to invent Shart Week.

Heartbreaking way for England to be eliminated. Gotta love the outpouring of support for Bassett though.

It was but nobody seems to have pointed out the mistakes.

Pause at 1:21, White has a player to her left clean through and took the shot from outside the box. All she had to do was lay it off and she was through for a 1 on 1 and probably a certain goal. I couldn't believe it when I watched it.

When it went into injury time we should have played for extra time, it was naive to attack so late on and get caught out like that, and the clearance was poor as well, though 100% the right thing to do.

While it was a horrible way to lose, we lost because of two poor moments of decision making. We love a brave loser in England, it's why we never fucking win anything.

Fucking England and international football.
