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.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
