JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I just found out that the magicJack or whatever they are called are back to play the Flash a week from tonight. So, it's Abby Wombach and Hope Solo vs. Marta and Alex Morgan. The Flash also have a number of players who play on their national teams, and number of other cuties, as well. They drew 8000 in late May. Not sure of the capacity at Sahlen Stadium, but I would think the crowd will be very big for this game. Abby now really being a national hero should go over big her hometown. Starting to look for tickets now...
mead107 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Just think how many people would want tickets if they played this game naked.
Peace Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 You're right. The US National Team players took off about half the games so far, but it does look like they are set to return.
Pilsner Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Just think how many people would want tickets if they played this game naked. Now how am I supposed to get anything done at work with this on my mind??
ajzepp Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 The US National Team players have the year off from the WPL. Marta has played but not often. If their passing impresses you, you don't watch much soccer. This team can't pass for crap. Japan passes. The US plays long ball and prays that their athleticism and size work out for them. I predict Japan will kill the US. I never watch soccer.
Ramius Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 IF i was forced to bet, i'd bet on the US women beating the US men's team. And not even close. The men's team is abysmal and an absolute disgrace to the United States.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) I am always amazed at how good Abby Wambach is in the air. She gets so much higher than anyone around her and has such timing and control to get up to the ball and then put it where she wants it with her head. To be able to continually do that when everybody knows that's the plan is a testament to her tenacity and skill. And she's from Pittsford Edited July 14, 2011 by JÂy RÛßeÒ

Just Jack Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 And she's from Pittsford Oh great. Now you did it. You Rosened them.

Ramius Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 LOL wtf? You heard me. The US women's team would beat the US men's team. Especially if there was something on the line. The men's team folds like a lawn chair in the clutch.
BuffOrange Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 On another note I think Orchard Park HS would crush the Bills. They're just so much more clutch.

The men's team folds like a lawn chair in the clutch. Are you taking into account the fact that the slowest player on the men's team is probably faster than the fastest player on the women's team? Or that the weakest foot on the men's team can strike the ball better than the best foot on the women's team? Don't get me wrong...mad respect for the US Women. But it wouldn't even be close. It has nothing to do with character. Just not a fair fight. Edited July 15, 2011 by SageAgainstTheMachine

Jon in Pasadena Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Hope Solo (US goalkeeper) is SMOKING hot. You think? Meh
ajzepp Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 You think? Meh lol, that is not a very flattering pic, especially when you enlarge it I still wouldn't kick her out of bed for eatin' crackers, but I'm more smitten with mein frau, Ally Krieger
Pilsner Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 lol, that is not a very flattering pic, especially when you enlarge it I still wouldn't kick her out of bed for eatin' crackers, but I'm more smitten with mein frau, Ally Krieger ajzepp, Ali Krieger is not too shabby at all. Go hot talented ladies! Can't wait for the game on Sunday!

Same here, man...I'm working all day tomorrow, so I'm glad it's on Sunday afternoon I'm really surprised how much I've enjoyed watching these ladies...hoping for a great match - and a great VICTORY - on Sunday!
Pilsner Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Ya I've enjoyed the ladies matches more than I expected. Japan passes really well so it's going to be a good challenge. I hope our D flexes it's muscles.
