@caissad4 saidya ya, I get it, Mohamed Ali, and Joe Willie, who the bleeping NEW YORK media turned into a star. Namoth was never that good and should not be in the HoF. My New York bashing opinion LOL.
You must not be a fan of American Football. For decades "Broadway" Joe Namath was idolized for his bragging before the 1969 Super Bowl that he would win.
When a woman does it, is it different from when a man does it ?
But Rapinoe was far different in her boast on two big levels. One, she talked about going to the white house (or NOT) with THREE friggin games left to win, not one - and she delivered nothing but splinters in her ass in the England game. That's Ok??? Secondly, she did it in a bashing fashion saying her team would not be going to the white house (meaning, they win the next three games automatically, otherwise it's a moot point) because Trump hates Lesbians. Which means of course, she's a basher and a liar. That's not just bragging, Caissad4, that's leashing out in a hateful fashion while setting herself up as a "victim". Politics, in other words, not sport. She sucks, in plain English.
Caissad4, I'll bet you some cyber bucks right now, should the USA team win, they WILL be invited to the white house, and I'll bet "the lesbian", Rapinoe, won't go and she'll say it's because Trump is a racist/homophobe/misogynist. And she will never apologize about being wrong in her prediction of a non invitation. In other words, she's a piece of crap.

@Earl-of-Trumps
Trump is a homophobe, racist and misogynist , that is obvious.
And so are many, many of his supporters.
Of which you are one.

@wolfe63 saidThere is no need to rub the other teams face in it when you are giving them a trashing!!! What one member of the team does, makes the whole team look bad.
I agree that Rapinoe is an arrogant little cuss. Her talent undeniable, the way she poses with outstretched arms after she scores is demonstrably egomaniacal.
But the behavior of the whole team is not reflective of just a single game or actions of a single player.
I will still watch tomorrow's Championship with pride and pleasure.

@wolfe63 saidThe Americans have a great womens soccer team, but their actions they have turned everyone against them. We know who everyone will be pulling for in the finals and it will not be the Americans. I wonder if they win, if they will get booed by the crowd?
Yes, Kerr is a great player.
The talent and skill level in women's futbol increases daily.
The knock-out games will be fun to watch.
Anything can happen!

@kellyjay saidAgreed, they are cocky and arrogant! No one likes a team like that, everyone will go for the under dog or other team. I don't follow soccer that closely but I would assume the Americans would be favoured going in the final game.
