Spain made me so nervous, France was maybe the best game of the tournament, and when Alyssa made that save against England, the noise I made woke the entire house. Without question the highlight of my year

[@91morientes]

Yet Spain deserved better..

My cousin actually ran out of his room with his gun because he thought I was being attacked!! I made him watch the rest of the match with me and the highlights and he said it was "pretty cool" . High praise from him!

[@Slowpokeking]

It has been a great month to remember. I have been a fan of USWNT and women's soccer since that 2011 game VS Brazil. I was quite sad as a Real Madrid fan that year, but saw the USWNT fighting to come back in the last second of that game and immediately fall in love with them. It was hearbroken in the final but was the beginning of the best era as well. Now the USWNT has won 2 WWC champions back to back, what a journey, same as Real with 4 ECC titles from 2014. My favorite men's national teams Portugal and France has won Euro/WC as well. I feel so happy as a football/soccer fan.

[@johangade2832]

[@teedepefanio5687]

@tripleheshy lol... yeah.. the character, Alice, in Resident Evil, was strong. Those girls fighting in UFC are freakin strong. Rarely would I refer to any soccer player as strong, man or woman... so definitely well said. I am very proud of them, though, for bringing us trophies. They're pretty amazing, compared to the rest of the world. Definitely deserving of all the silverware that comes with greatness in their sport.

[@menelson00]

@tripleheshy Also - do you know how long MLS was in the RED before they became successful? Go ahead - I dare you to look up THAT data. They lost millions year over year and in fact - were SUBSIDIZED by USSoccer for several years. Go ahead. Look it up.

[@bluecalix]

@tripleheshy sexist idiot. The USWNT draw more viewers in the US than the USMNT, draw a lot more sponsorship money, and perform better (don't bother arguing these points, even USSoccer federation agrees on these points). The USWNT won't make as much as a men's world cup winner, but they should make at least the same and probably way more than the USMNT, who once again pull in less money and preform worse (all facts).

[@bluecalix]

@tripleheshy You're wrong again. I'll say it slower. EVEN ... USSOCCER ... AGREES ... THE USWNT ... BRINGS IN ... MORE MONEY ... THAN THE USMNT.... If you could read I'd point you to their financial filings. The highest TV ratings for a US soccer game in history are USWNT games. And the sponsorship money which makes up fully HALF of all of USSoccer's revenue is primarily paid to have access to the USWNT players, tho SUM (i bet you don't even know what that is) hides this fact via the contract. Enjoy the dustbin of history, BRO. ***PLONK***

[@ly9386]
