Definitely not. Drawing the 3rd most talented team in the quarters is not ideal which is why I really don't like seeing upsets like Slovakia beating Sweden early on.
Sweden's only loss was to Finland which was a bigger upset than Slovakia over Finland. Sweden needed to beat Slovakia by 3 but gave up a late goal to win 5-3.

The US is up a cumulative 31-1 score going to the gold medal game.

Hence, they're on a record-breaking streak. They beat Canada 5-0 and are unbeaten against Canada in the last 7 games. As I said, outside of the top 2 teams, the rest of the field is significantly better than in previous years.

Didn't a u15 boys soccer team absolutely thrash the USWNT a few months ago?
Sure, if you think the USWNT was trying to dominate a u15 team rather than use it for a friendly against a fast team as an opportunity to better find their weaknesses on D after losing in Rio. But, I guess that doesn't make headlines.

The quality of play from the teams outside of US/Canada is the highest it has ever been thanks to more opportunities in ncaa and now the PWHL.
That league is also extending the careers of some of the best players who used to have to give up the sport to be able to make a living.
The US is on a record-breaking heater the past year but that doesn't diminish the gains made by other countries which will narrow the gap.

I've given up watching and was stating why.
Yet you didn't mention that you had given up watching so it's weird to provide a why to something you haven't written.
Instead, you make a misogynistic comment, get called out, and then claim you were just giving reasons.

Someone explain to me how Matthews gets the minutes he does on this squad? I'm obviously missing something.
Because his line gets similar minutes? And maybe because he scored twice tonight? And had at least one great breakup on a great chance?

Watching the USA playing these 3 games....how did Nick Schmaltz not get any consideration? 2 way center with a 200 foot game. Good PK guy. Could also slide to a wing if needed.
Who does he replace who already has that role?

Can anyone explain how the USA women get undefeated Sweden in the semis, while Canada gets the Swiss? You'd think Canada would have to play them based on us being higher rated?
Because overall Switzerland is one of the top 5 highest rated teams coming into the tournament. All of the top 5 teams are in group A so you don't have the US and Canada putting up double digit goals against France and Japan.
Sweden was ranked out of the top 5 but played a much easier schedule. Leading up to the Olympics, Switzerland is better than Sweden.

If it wasn't for the Danes goalie over committing this could be a 2-0 game.
And if it wasn't for Swayman fucking up a long shot, it would be 1-1

it aint just me...see my poll in the other thread.
I've certainly found that internet polls from a place with very passionate people is the best way to make decisions.

As long as you are getting into poor lyrics these are some from the "family friendly" halftime show. Here is the translation for one of the songs. I did watch it and it wasn't good, which it typically never is anyway.
Only one show claimed it was "family friendly" and that featured the one who sings about child rape.
It's not surprising that the response to learning those you align with are pro-pedophelia is to say "look at something else."
And for the mods that are doing their best mind-reading... there is no political lean to pedophilia. If you've abused someone, you deserve to go to prison.

There's a black canyon of the Gunnison wide difference between positive vibes and insanely overhyping a player.
He has a very good opportunity to be a difference maker for UND and to steal him from NDSU is proof Schmidt has the team on his back. That's positive vibes.
But maybe we don't need to hype a 17-year-old soon-to-be FCS player as a future pro just yet?

At least 4 UND grads at the US/Italy women's game last night. Heard there were at least 3 Sioux jerseys at the US/Latvia game on Thursday.
Latvia beating Germany is big for the US men. Get a big win tonight and virtually guaranteed to win the group and get the bye into the QF.
Swayman going tonight in net, otherwise the same lineup as Thursday.

Future Pro
Will be a great leader for the 2027 class.
He’s signing and arriving spring semester 2027; will get here early just like Aidan Wunderlich and others did.
Pump the brakes a bit..

Threads like this make you miss SiouxVolley. He had big visions for UND and realignment and was wrong more often than not, but at least he had some solid reasoning behind his projections and not just crazy ramblings.

Regardless of language, I personally wouldn't choose to watch an artist who sings about his love for underage girls and statutory rape but I guess I have different moral standards than others.
"Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage. Some say that's statutory, but I say it's mandatory."

What a win in mixed curling today to head to the gold medal match against Sweden who upset GB.
The guy on the team rolls stones 218 for the Duluth (and outstation MN) area code.
Sad some people are so sensitive that their poor little hurt feelings are more important than cheering for their country. Sounds pretty anti-US to me.

That's embarrassing. There are more Spanish-speaking natives than English-speaking natives in America. Hence, why he said "God bless America" and then listed off all of the countries in America from South to North.
Bad Bunny is a US citizen who sings in his native language and is fluent in your native language.

A simple history lesson confirms the statement I made, which you quoted.
Pretty well known NDSU has done everything possible in the past to avoid playing UND in football. This is another move to assist in that.
Personal criticism is apparently all that you can contribute.
Jesus H... you really think not playing UND in football was a driving force in going FCS and now FBS? You're more delusional than I thought...

There have been professionals in the Olympics since 1912 so sure.
Being against the current administration is not anti-american otherwise a portion of "real americans" were also anti american from 21-25.
Curling was added officially in 1998 the same year as women's hockey, yet those are considered normal now. Sports evolve faster than old men, apparently.
Rotate the games through 4 locations for winter and 4 for summer. Keep them in countries that are welcome to fans and teams wanting to travel.

Head-to-head football games will once again be gone (just as the sore loser corrupt ag college likes it), unfortunately, but the rivalry will certainly continue off the field … until the on the field resumes.
You're the one that seems to be a sore loser. Your mind seems to be obsessed with anyone or anything that isn't 110% pro und.
Stepping away from this board and social media can be helpful for mental health.

Surprised there's not much chatter here about the Olympics.
Note that this thread will have spoilers.
US mixed doubles curling team had two great wins today to qualify for the semifinal playoffs.
Also, currently watching Czechia vs Finland women's hockey and former UND players Susanna Tapani and Michelle Karvinen.

Summit League could take over NCHC to survive?

You're complaining about Fenton being absent yet you want him to be the conference lead for all sports except for football?
