It'll be nice to catch a half for a change! Son had a tennis tournament this AM, and yard is growing, well, like it's been raining!!! Pisses me off that the TWC App isn't streaming this when "Not Connected To Your Home Network"!!! Goofballs! WHT, how many people really sit AT THEIR HOUSE and watch TV on their phone instead of the 62 inches of HD glory they have sitting 17 feet away???!!!

My thought, albeit nuts, with the bad wrap concussions are giving football (LOL, like soccer doesn't have it's own head bumps), soccer might get yet another bump in playership... |

Good point, but I'd say that because it's women's sport, that's the overriding point. Having lived overseas, I can't recall many girls playing (in Rome, Italy), so I suspect we have more girls playing really competitive soccer in the U.S. than most other countries.

I disagree Rausch. We aren't to a point where we'd developed world class players. America's talent seriously pales in comparison to pretty much any soccer rich country.
We play technically sound, and try hard, but aren't particularly creative or skilled. Maybe the 50,000 children who just crossed the border will help... |

A lot of other countries around the world don't have nearly as many options for young athletes.
