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.

      Now you may not agree with these but once you get the speed dialed, super fast, true rolling greens yield a lot more holed putts from 10-15 feet range = birdies. Also, the rough wasn't terribly penal. On a separate note, it seemed Berger tried to cash in on his lead. Didn't play bad or anything but you could tell dude had already blown his load the first two days. And then Akshay stepped up. I mean the dart for the eagle was ridiculous.  Fun watch in a long time.

      Day 1 (9 Mar 26) - starting up again with a week layoff due to travels.  Played with the men’s group for the Monday shootout.  Was good to play, had some rust especially the long game, especially getting proper weight shift.

      Day 204 3-9 Wrist arch through downswing and getting wider with backswing. Need to continue working on getting trail arm "reconnected" as it still seems a bit off with wider backswing.

      Saw these today, this is a scam.  Joined in 2026.  Click his name and then his profile.  2 posts, no friends, one item for sale.  These clubs are probably takes from Temu. Facebook

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Range again today. A few freezers and a few smoothies. If I add a little speed I swing further arms go deeper and lower and more across again. Really like where this freezer got to on backswing:   This is a smoothie (ish). Clubhead tracks up the hands nicely but the things go a bit wrong: At normal speed: Lastly one shortish pitch shot. Pitching some days I come out and can drop it on the flag. Other days it’s going sideways. Like missing right or left by 10 yards from 50 yards and nothing in between. I suspect it’s from the hands coming out and the cut across. If I release it on that line it’s going left. If I hold it off it’s going right and then it’s timing. When it’s off it’s off. Feels like if I can get that under control it will tighten up a lot.
