    Is there a transgender (Cup lol) trophy?
    Woke America would have trouble with possibly Thailand.

    Hope they do it for you, Opti.

    Will you be doing any onsite game reporting for SBR? There's one mBTC in it for you if you do.

    ha, thanks for the thought Chucky!

    But I don't know much about women's soccer. Aussie media seems to think they should be favored to make the final.


    OP Illini will probably be on top of it I am thinking. Especially the Asian teams.

    Haha, yeah, he's scouted out Southeast Asia. My take is that the USA Women have been a gulf above the competition in recent history. Yes, they've taken a few losses.

    I see a current # of USA Women to win at +300. I have to think that's value. The only team that was close to being on par with USA in recent years was France...and I think they're down a bit.

    We produce A LOT of female soccer talent. Dennis Rodman's daughter is on this team...and she's the highest-paid player in the US Women's league. Attackers aplenty, if I can get down on +300, I'm gonna try it.

    Sounds smart. +300 a nice price if they are still head and shoulders ahead of world.

    I am on USA , GO USA GO USA, I have a future with them but my big bet is Vietnam +6.25 against USA in the first game, but USA to win it all.

    I don't disagree with the play. But USA did beat Thailand, 13-0, in 2019.

    Vietnam will have more of the smallish girls vs the Americans.

    I go to all the games, Vietnamese womens team are little small girls and very young but are a powerhouse here. Interesting to see what happens. Pinnacle had it +6.75 to +5.25 and now +6, Vietnam has never been there before.

    The Lady Boy World Cup. Probably about time to have the LGBTQIA-+-!@#$%^&* Olympics too along with a professional league for every sport as well.

    Thinking about flying up to Hanoi from De Lat on Wednesday 26 or Thursday 27 just for a night if I can fit it in. Will contact you to see if you are free if it looks like happening. I won't know for sure until Monday 24th.

    I am going to China tomorrow morning and then the Philippines, I will be back in Hanoi the 25th, so either of those days are fine. Let me know as soon as you know so I can block that day off so I can show you around. You should come.

    It took him about 40 attempts to find anyone dumb enough to reply. Why the f*** would you be that dufus after so many other true dufuses knew better!

    So you call him a dufus for the post, meanwhile the OP calls it the "post of the year."

    Two opinions for the same post on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum...

    I don't know what to believe anymore.

    I think that it's fantastic to have your vacation plays.
    Who would want your plays posted when you are distracted by
    working-day activities?
    Don't even consider posting a play on any day that your vacation-mind has wandered
    to unnecessary thoughts about work.

    Big thanks for your consideration of your SBR brethren.

    Hehfest would beg to differ. I've created a monster here, and for that I am saddened. This is a very polarizing topic and I should've stuck with middle of the road type fodder so as not to rile up the congregation.

    Optional is outraged and has red flagged me to call for rigorous post scrutiny.

    But it was amusing watching you keep posting this lame one to try and mock Cheme, with not a single soul taking any notice :-)

    They just didn't connect the dots. Most probably still don't. You're a mod, so you're more attuned to it, but the rest come and go on a whim. It didn't surprise me it went unnoticed. I just got tired of seeing that dumb thread being bumped to the top so I co-opted the title for personal use.

    Five players who contributed significantly to the 2019 World Cup title have been excluded largely because of injuries: forwards Mallory Swanson and Christen Press, midfielder Sam Mewis and the central defense pairing of Becky Sauerbrunn and Abby Dahlkemper.
