Carli is clutch. Two Jersey girls on that one. The zika chant was funny the first game. Seems stupid now. And they say Americans are dumb.

We could chant "raw sewage, poverty, corruption, crime, economic meltdown and favelas"[roll]

I think it's hysterical and love that they're not letting up on her. That being little surprised with the "booing" - aimed at other teams (soccer, beach volleyball) - that I've heard from Brazilian fans. You're supposed to be happy/party people com'on now!

1st woman to score multiple goals in 3 consecutive Olympics.

It would be very appropriate if somehow her name is included in whatever they call the new soccer/lacrosse/tennis facility when it's built.

Not her biggest fan either. That's why she is wearing/will wear black the rest of the way. Play to the crowd by being the bad guy. She gets the last laugh when US wins the gold.
 
Carli looks a little slower and more plodding so far. To her credit, she still finds herself at the right place at the right time.

How about she writes a fat check? Until then a fat head on the wall will do.

Do you really think she has that kind of $$$? I doubt it. I'd even venture to say the may be people on this board who earn more.

Did Moose Hill pay for the Baseball Facility?

It's probably not that accurate, but her estimated net worth is $500k. I'd guess at least a quarter of our posters are worth more?

Exactly. Add to that he earning power just exploded the past year or so and she's near the end of her career. Other than Tennis I doubt there are very many women athletes getting rich.

With that line of thinking I'm guessing anything named after Paul Robeson is out..

She was just named the greatest player in the world in the most popular sport in the world and has been remarkable in the sports biggest stage, world cup and olympics. It wouldn't hurt to name the soccer complex or something in her honor.

Would be a huge selling point to younger players coming to a field named after one of the most formidable players on the pitch for a number of years. Winning helps too of course and we saw how well the team did last season. I doubt most of the lacrosse payers coming to the field today know who Yurcak is currently named after.

Oh well.
I guess there will be no last laugh.
Bummer.
 
Frankly they pretty much showed they weren't at top form from the start and after Colombia they looked nothing like favorites.

In the WC they got better as the tourney went along. Here they got worse.
 
the got beat by Sweden and are out in the quarterfinals for the 1st time in womens Olympic soccer history

Hope Solo was very ineffective,,,,,worst game I have seen her play
 
Well, there goes the Olympic Victory Tour, as well the additional revenue they hoped to generate & justify equal pay with the men's team. :(

Morgan and Press were ballhogs and failed to see Lloyd open for good shots on goal.
