Title: One of the many dumb things about soccer…

…is that they decide their champions on penalty kicks. That’s like Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth dueling to a draw through 72 holes at the Masters, then driving up to Gatlinburg to decide it with a round at Hillbilly Golf. :frown:

That said, I’m not at all sad that this particular Team USA lost. :biggrin:

You beat me to it. I didn't see the game, just caught the highlights just now. 

Rapinoe sailed one over the goal during the shootout. She is 38.  She will not play again.
I can't say that breaks me up.... :naughty:

I googled Megan Rapinoe and wouldn't you know it?!? She is from California!  :biggrin: However, don't get too excited boys she is from Redding in Shasta County, which by California standards is pretty dang conservative. They probably don't like her there either.  :patriot: Other than her name, I don't think I know any other names on the team. Oh well, there is your useless trivia for today.
