Looks like you got your wish for that Japan goal. Then your next wish to make it 5-2. Let's see if your third wish gets granted for 6-2.

Damn close but I'll take it.

Alex Morgan's poor skills showed again. I'm telling ya, she is nowhere near WC level. She keeps her head down and rarely knows her position on the pitch. She has a very weak boot as well. Anything past the pk spot is a reach for her. Watch the YouTube video of her "best goals", they're all unchallenged and right in front of the goal. Carli rules and so does Rapinoe. Morgan got hyped up for her looks. She's average collegiate level at best. Go USA!

Dude, they won 5-2. Can't you just enjoy that. Give her a break. It's like you have a vendetta against her. Ease up.

If you want to criticize her play you have to also point out that she had a pretty serious knee injury before the tournament and was still working her way back through the tournament. Plus at worst in totality she had a B+ tournament. Also, she's not playing because of her looks; she may be getting marketing opportunities because of her looks but I can tell you thatJill Ellis, on the biggest stage in the world, is not gonna play her just because she's pretty. Morgan is a star, man. I don't know what else to tell you.

You are right regarding the injury. But keeping her head down and being unaware of her position have nothing to do with her injury. Ropinoe, Lloyd, Johnston, Brian are stars. Alex is mediocre. I've seen it before in my 40 years of soccer. High scorer vastly die to sponge goals coming from perfect crossed or being in the right place at the right time to grab a gimmie. The team is fantastic and I'm proud of all of them. But from all I've seen of Morgan, she's mediocre.

This may come as a shock to you but many people view women as things other than sex objects and actually watch women's sports without a hand at their belt. And considering that the women have been kicking ass for nigh on two and a half decades, I don't think you can say "nothing happens."

Never heard that before.    It's not like women's soccer is ice dancing pairs competition.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
