2019 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!!

Wild night in the WCC the Dons beat Pacific by the skin of their teeth in OT and the Broncos are at the 100 minute against the pilots! And SC saved a PK in OT to boot!!
 
So Brown has a really high RPI and haven’t really beaten anyone of significance. The bottom of the Pac-12 would beat them and the bottom of the wcc would be competitive w them. I’m a fan of the eye test and coaches poll. In years past for football and hoops they’ve done a pretty good job of putting the right teams in.

Henderson tweeted OSU and ASU are out.

WCC going wild. USF was at the precipice of disaster
And now control their own destiny with games vs. BYU, Pepperdine and Santa Clara. 2/3 at home.

Pepperdine also controls their own destiny and can seal up a berth by winning all their games and finishing 2nd. Looking like Cal’s first round opponent.

Santa Clara is in a pickle. The tie to Portland was devastating. Loss or tie the Pepperdine and they are OUT unless 3rd place in the wcc gets u in.

Pacific appears to be breathing some life finally and now adding some excitement.

Portland my sleeper went to sleep after beating CAL. Out

Gonzaga probably out after losing to Pepperdine with SC and BYU to play.

SMC not looking good in three blow out losses. High turnover of assistant coaches. What the hell is going on there?

BYU cruising.

San Diego hanging around but play BYU @ Provo and will be destroyed. Then they will be OUT.

Loyola’s loss to USD puts them just about out with BYU, SC next.

Self-important rich girls kneeling at a women's soccer game when other more diverse rosters are standing. Stupid

Rescind your citizenship if u are not proud to be American. All races (buffalo soldiers, Japanese Americans, etc.) died in the world wars for your asses. Take a picture of those girls that kneeled, place that in Facebook and Instagram, tag them and let’s see how they do in the market place after school.
There are other ways to protest and IMO. that shit needs to stay out of sports.
 
Agreed. These are 19 year-old college girls who learned in Sociology 102 that they should be social justice warriors by kneeling. They play great soccer, but stop already. Clowns.

This country was built on the backs of people who wanted to make this country a better place and believed that their actions, regardless of how small, may continue to improve society and our country - social justice warriors. The fact that these girls are peacefully protesting, regardless of whether I believe in their position - because I don't kneel for anything, should be celebrated. Calling them names like Clowns is uncalled for and takes away from the discussion. Do you tell your child that you're perfect or s/he is perfect enough that there's nothing more to learn from or grow from? As a nation dealing with different industrial, technological, and social changes, we should be discussing our differences peacefully. Talk to these girls and have a discussion with them if you disagree, don't call them clowns.
 
The freedoms people died for allow these girls to kneel with little repercussions but respect should be shown for your country regardless of the current state of our country. Very unpatriotic.

Try kneeling in North Korea. Or try walking down the street in the Middle East in your bikini. Or send a bad tweet against China.

What we have here are young soccer females who probably fell asleep during AP US history and care more about how many followers they have on Instagram.

I'm a big Steelers fan and when they had their locker room debate about kneeling it caused my team great harm. So divisive. My family has a military history and none of them like this kneeling thing. However, everyone of them said they would die to allow anyone of them the freedom to kneel :)

Do you see the countries you are comparing us to? We are better than that. We don't want to be those countries. That's how important their right to kneel is (regardless of the positions we hold)- many brave soldiers died for it - so why demean what the brave soldiers died trying to protect? I don't want to live in a country where we are muted and expected to be conforming to all ideas or else it's considered disrespectful. I want a bunch of friends, family and countrymen and women that have the right to peacefully communicate their ideas and thoughts without being afraid to do so. I understand that some soldiers think it's disrespectful to kneel but I know many soldiers who feel honored that everyone is continuing to fight for their country in their own peaceful way...with the rights that they fought to protect to prevent the USA from becoming a North Korea, China, or Middle East.
 
Army vet and retired L.E. here: Still clowns, sorry. Those girls have no clue. Again, teams with a more "diverse" roster laugh at their supposed "Westwood Wokeness." It's become a gimmick for attention.

Thank you for your service and for your efforts to keep this country peaceful in order for everyone to exercise their constitutional rights. I respect your life's work but I don't respect the your specific action to resort to name calling rather than discussing better ways to help the girls bring light to what they see as a social injustice.
 
I'm all for peaceful protest. If you want to stand on a street corner and protest I'm all for it. A teenage college student kneeling at a soccer game smacks of entitlement and attention grabbing. Megan Rapinoe did it, and although I don't agree with her, at least she has a dog in the fight and can probably articulate her position well. How many players on UCLA women's soccer had a negative interaction with law enforcement past a campus parking ticket? The kneeling thing is played out. Play soccer, then go stand on a corner with your sign.
