US women's soccer team SHAME

[Crimson Dynamo]

US women's soccer stars at World Cup opener remain mostly silent during
anthem as Vietnam players proudly sing theirs with hands over hearts


One critic claimed the 'ugly Americans' were 'showing their true colors'
Six of 11 US players stayed silent and did not put their hands over their hearts

Much of the US women's soccer team remained silent during the playing of
The Star-Spangled Banner at Friday's World Cup opener in New Zealand,
prompting critics to excoriate players over a perceived lack of patriotism.

'The ugly Americans once again showing their true colors,' one person wrote
on Twitter. 'They could learn a thing or two from the Vietnamese.'

'Absolute disgrace to the US!!' added another. 'Ban them and get players that
are proud to represent their country.'

on the plus side me and the boy watched the game today and decided to watch all the England games going forward :hee:

[Swan]

And yet in the US today a guy the coaching staff at DC Utd was sacked because he made an "okay" gesture in a coach team photo. Apparently some consider this to be racist.

And there was me hoping that Alex Morgan had been booked for taking her shirt off.:bawling:

Seriously though the players can do whatever they want to, just because you don't agree with them not singing the National Anthem doesn't mean that they should be booted out of the competition.

The last time I checked we were in a democracy, and long may it stay that way.

no one will be getting disqualified


you aren't held at gunpoint to sing along to that anthem though :rolleyes:


It’s a choice….it’s also a choice to represent your Country and you should feel proud enough to sing the Anthem…:shrug:

If a team is representing their country they need to do just that, it should not be political and your personal beliefs should be left at home

it really isn't a must to sing along to the national anthem, you aren't held at gunpoint you know, the only thing that is a must is breathe otherwise you die


does Max Verstappen sing along to our anthem, NOPE, is that a problem here, NOPE


most of our men's national team also don't sing along to the anthem, because most don't know the lyrics that well

US women’s team refuse to sing national anthem before World Cup draw with
Netherlands

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/football/2023/07/27/TELEMMGLPICT000343981261_16904207302390_trans_NvBQ zQNjv4Bq9oU8ONIbfIgG4uxJW7Z1C19Xn0qM2UtNEnFq2joB77 U.jpeg?imwidth=300

The US women’s national team has once again risked the ire of the American
public after more than half of the team refused to sing the national anthem
before their World Cup group game against the Netherlands in Wellington.

Later, in a game anticipated for months, in effect a repeat of the 2019 World
Cup final, the Dutch held the star-studded world champions to a 1-1 draw.

The silent “protest” was labelled “embarrassing” and “disrespectful” by one
prominent pundit in the States and also drew strong criticism on social
media, with some accusing members of the US women’s squad of failing to
be patriotic enough on the global stage.

First game i've watched in its entirety. The commentator said after the game "this was the most eagerly anticipated game of the group stages and it certainly delivered", it didn't. It was a pretty average game. Wasn't bad. But not great at all.

I didn't take any notice of the national anthem stuff.

[AnnieK]

I don't quite understand what the fuss is about.

If you watch any man's game - half the teams don't sing the National Anthem - Wayne Rooney never did in his early days with England and a lot don't bother. :shrug:

[Nicky91]

USA are gonna qualify instead of Netherlands


Vietnam will win against Netherlands to save their honour in the group and Portugal wins against USA

[Swan]

Well they just crashed out on penalties to Sweden in the round of 16. They were favourites to win the tournament as well. I've only seen a couple of their games and they looked quite poor.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Good riddance to them

[Swan]

England and Spain are pretty much joint favourites now.

[Swan]

Watching on +1 now. So many pens missed. Megan Rapinoe missed hers. USA had a pen to win but missed.

The winning pen was over the line by a cm. Couldn't fit a fag paper between it. Insane stuff.

But those who wants trans men in female sport, never watch it. Those who are against it, for the most part, watch all these sports.

And the same people get all up in arms about equal pay. Yet none of them watch and support women's football. Maybe if they started watching it the women would get the recognition these none watchers or fans think they deserve.

At the end of the day, more of us men watchers what the women than they do. We cheer on the Lioness. Bet none of them know who England have tomorrow without looking. It's a pathetic argument

Mocking women in football? It;s fair game. If we're gonna treat them equal, they should receive the same amount of criticism the men do, and the men get A LOT as previously stated.

The woman you're defending from the USA team was rubbish today, in that game im sure you didn't watch. And as a veteran player, her missed penalty was AWFUL.

Simply facts.

Oh we're pretending the negativity has come from how they played in one game rather than their choice not to sing the national anthem.

Im not pretending it at all. Other people know this player/s who refused to sing the national anthem (don't you think them refusing to play for America would have been a more firm stance? Yet they happily accepted the cash to play, and all the free flights and accommodation).

I know plenty of male players i don't like. Im not fond of (you're welcome to say her name as you're defending her) the player in question. Bit overrated imo. And she showed that today.

lets hope they get booted out asap :umm2:

Fine, LT will do and say what he does. But when actually challenged, you don't wanna know. I'm more than happily to have a respectable debate with you about this (and what i posted in the woke thread) but you ignore them and hand out back pats to your buddies - "oh another phobe" for calling out LT.

When challenged, you seem to have nothing in response. It's like your freedom of speech and idea of equality is "if you don't agree with us you're wrong and alt right winger"

It's sad.

When you continuously miss the point I don't have much to say to you. You made it about them singing the anthem / whether they should actually be on the team again when the gripe brought up was about those who pretend to champion women's sports will turn on them at the drop of a hat.

No, i asked you if you felt it might be better to just not play in protest? Wouldn't that hammer home their point, and offer a much more respectable stance?

I do wonder why they're doing this when the US is Democratically led too.

In a supposed free country they can protest however they want. What someone else thinks might be best is irrelevant.

What are they protesting about? anyone know?

[Swan]

Ok yeah, i agree with you. But as Cherie has asked, what are they exactly protesting? Because they'll happily wear the the US shirt and get paid handsomely for doing so. And they're fine with the US taxpayer funding their first class travel and accommodation in AUS and NZ.

It's proud UK tradition to mock the Germans when they fail, I personally always do it as banter rather than anything personal though.

It's a shame, yes, but her saying "there's not a God because if there was he wouldn't have allowed this to happen" or whatever, is just pathetic considering her "stance" on social justices, and the wars going on.

She's the biggest tw@ in woman's football.

it's not really surprising at all. Many players that are nearing the end of their careers get an injury that ends their playing. It's the body getting old
