Ughh…Just realized the semifinals are the middle of the day Tuesday and Wednesday. Can Trump make a call and get those moved to the evening? Were the host, why are the kick times still catering to the Europeans?

Regardless of the multiple US leagues' stability, your original premise that there are two avenues for women to play a professional sport, basketball and soccer, is wrong. There are many professional European volleyball leagues, not to mention golf and tennis which have been brought up. I don't want to argue, just trying to educate the ignorant.

Oh Jesus. Read my post. I said Olympic sports. If volleyball is no longer a ln Olympic sport than you got me. FFS. Stop ******* up this thread with odd nut hugging of volleyball. Nobody gives af about it. And the viability is nominal at best. Furthermore we were talking about the United States not Europe sporting scene for women.

Because that is actually who is actually providing most the viewership? just leave the game on your phone and turn on the mouse jiggler for work, you'll be good.

So sick of hearing about Lamine Yamal. Hasn't done **** this World Cup, yet announcers keep glazing him over and over and over. At some point he has to produce, right?

Belgium did better with him in the second half but he was breaking them down constantly in the first half.

I don’t watch much La Liga bio I’ve been super impressed with his touches.

Olympic sports is a very common way to refer to the non basketball or football sports in the NCAA.

I understand that, however the context of this conversation doesn’t really fit that usage.
