Our national pride - Canadian women's soccer team wins gold-medal.

Actually, what they won was the women’s penalty kick gold. They failed to score in actual live play in regulation where their only goal was on a penalty kick. Then they prevailed in penalty kicks to decide it.

In actual live play of the game of soccer, Sweden prevailed 1-0. This is one of so many reasons I can never take soccer seriously, not unlike the shoot out in regular season hockey. Play the game until there’s a winner, just like the NHL during playoffs.

Soccer is a girls school yard recess pastime. ? *ducks*

Never heard of a penalty shot being awarded in a playoff hockey game? Where have you been for the past 50 years? 

 England lost in the Euro final on a penalty shoot out as well. Those were men.

Some of you boys sure seem threatened by women who are good at sports

they are good at sports relative to those who are not, including many men

but they are not good at sports relative to the best at those sports, who are all men

this is why no one cares about women's sports

the level of competition is quite lacking relative to men's sports

Hahaha... such beguiling falsehoods ?

in the olympic chick soccer for example

even the best women at the games

are nowhere near as good as the least talented man playing olympic soccer

and the men's soccer at the olympics doesn't even include the best professional men's players

while the women's soccer at the olympics includes all their best professional players

1. You should call it women's soccer unless you want to offend some people. ?

2. This is not even in dispute.  Do you think deploying a team of large trans women would be a good strategy then?

Did a female soccer player hurt you once?  Left you at the altar perhaps?  Said your souffle wasn't fluffy enough?

1) I don't care about offending the woke, the take offense no matter careful you are anyway

2) deploying a team of transwomen who used to be professional men's soccer players, would be the optimal strategy

as soon as they get enough of them, women's soccer will be all trans, if they allow trans to play women's sports, all the failed men's players who claim to be women will simply take over

It's ANGRY ABOUT WOKE WOMAN SOCCER DAY ?

When the clown prince of ignorant politics chimes in, you know this is a BIG DEAL 

 

Trump stated, “Woke means you lose, everything that is woke goes bad, and our soccer team certainly has.”

The former president concluded his statement by taking aim at American superstar Megan Rapinoe, calling her “the woman with the purple hair” and saying she “played terribly,” despite the fact she netted two huge goals and was the game’s leading scorer.

I mean imagine Lebron James got a sex change and started playing in the WNBA

he could single handedly outscore the other team by himself, without even breaking a sweat

it would be the dumbest thing ever

but that's what the woke are pushing for

that is how crazy and unreasonable they are

But everyone, literally everyone, knows that. 

Few people feel the need to bang on about it as though it was being argued.

(Of course, Bradford City have opened the season today, and with a few minutes to go they are tied 0-0 with Exeter. I don't know what the Canadian Women's Olympic soccer team would do to those men, sadly)

there are plenty of people who don't believe that

and think even admitting the truth about that is overtly sexist

they are called the woke

this is what they do

say ridiculous things and then call you deplorable if you don't concur and repeat what they say with enough enthusiasm for their tastes

because it is revolting

chick soccer was just boring before the woke

now it's disgusting

If it makes you feel any better there was at least one 'man' on the Canadian team.  Of course, he's been a 'woman' since almost a year so...

1. you don't ever think about the implication of trans being allowed in women's sports?

2. I wouldn't care about the WNBA either way, but it would certainly ruin the WNBA experience for the female athletes who play in the WNBA

I don't think that's the case.  Anyone who tried to claim that a women's soccer team would beat a men's soccer team at the same level of competition would not be taken seriously.

they would be taken seriously by the woke

who think women can do literally anything that a man can

just as well as they can

and that the women not getting paid as much as the men is a conspiracy that has nothing to do with talent disparity and everything to do with the oppressive patriarchy

anyone who claims otherwise is decried as sexist

No, they don't.  Not Soccer.

I'm sure there's lots of other stuff though.

My position has nothing to do with gender inequality. I consider it a female child's schoolyard game. It is not a grown man's sport. I don't care what adult women do but if it's soccer, play until there's a winner decided in the normal course of play.

Also, I was clear that I disagree with penalty shots in ANY circumstance aside from in the course of normal play. Regular season hockey games should be played until there's a winner in normal play. Shoot-outs to decide a winner in ANY sport are silly.

nope, even soccer

the woke are that crazy

they don't see any difference at all between men and women

other than who you choose to identify as

if you say anything to the contrary, you will be called sexist by them too

pointing out any biological differences whatsoever, is oppression in the form of sexism, or transphobia, according to them

they are totally anti-science, they don't believe in biology, and you're a bigot if you call them out on that too

1. Well, not the LeBron James fantasy version.  Generally, I have thought about it but not fretted.

2. Who you don't care about.  Come to think eit, a Woke WNBA would probably garner a good amount of angry white male viewers. ?

Then I guess the problem is the woke.  You are only referring to the crazy ones, of whom I've yet to see an opinion by in this particular argument.

Woke people like me don't see it that way at all.

that's because you aren't a true believer, just a useful idiot for the true believers

the woke will come for you too, you aren't woke enough for them

you are better off siding with the conservatives you so loathe, the woke are worse

if you try to challenge the crazies, they'll cancel you too

it's not a mere idea to them, it is a religion, all sin and no redemption

if you ever said anything they disagree with, you are bigot who will eventually be cancelled, if they ever get around to it

and if you publicly decry them, that just puts a target on your back

hell even staying silent isn't good enough, silence is violence to the woke

if you don't publicly repeat their craziness and they don't trust your conviction

you will be cancelled

Great to see "everyone" agrees. Thus it cannot be bigotry... bwah haw haw...

In hockey I just see it as "different". The women have incredible technical skill and speed. They don't have a physical game as much, that is the difference. There are men's teams with similar style.

Maybe some day a bunch of Amazon women will form and team, and kick your wimpy little man's asses.

Now that would be a contest worth watching!
