I always find it funny when people want to blow up a team that has otherwise been really good for a really long time. I seem to recall the women’s team losing to Japan or something several years ago to lose gold. Was there a big uproar back then?

Does this mean I can choose what I want to eat for lunch now without someone kicking a ball at it?

I hear you, but this team has more players over age 30 than not. Very old team.

I completely agree. It seems they valued veteran experience over athleticism

They lost my support when they were about to stomp on US flag.

Google it. "Fact checkers" say it never happened, but watch & judge 4 yourself
