Don’t feel bad, it’s a moving variable, unlike other offsides like hockey and football which are fixed points.

I probably won't watch again until the next Olympics anyway lol.

very disappointing in how the game played out. Defense not clearing the ball,3 players standing around watching saying , "you got it, no you got.." leading to the first goal, then goalie not going for the ball on the cross, leading to a header in...then the third goal when he came way out of the net and did who knows what faling to clear the ball.....

Overall a really poor performance, offense didn't get much going either. Its like their heads weren't in the game.

I agree
No doubt all the red card hullabaloo was an unneeded distraction

At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.....

A convenient rationalization for an epic, abysmal, team failure. True champions don’t let BS get into their heads.

As a nation, we’re not into futball just yet. This squad has potential. I just hope that they can clear the fog out of their heads and keep improving.

Olympic soccer is a clown show, a notch or two below US MLS. If you want to watch and appreciate “the beautiful game” catch some of the foreign leagues where the national teams’ studs play yearly.

I agree with that for sure....but...the BS with the player playing or not etc... etc... and the drama around it...probably f'ed them up a little. Not an excuse for poor performance but certainly could have been a mental factor

Sometimes American athletes read their own press clippings. The media built this team up then reality set in.

Good win by England . Played hard on defense building the wall and grinding Norway down, and striked hard when it mattered.

Good exciting game to watch but I guess I will never understand the rules behind fouls; more confusing than pass interference in the NFL. 🫤No dog in the race so I didn’t care who won.

One additional comment, the Half Time show was better than many of the recent Super Bowl shows.

Halftime show was great. Shakira is always a pleasure to watch.

No doubt that the best team on the field yesterday won. Spain's best player: THE TEAM, they were disciplined and cohesive.

Best Individual Player: Argentina's Martinez, he kept Argentina in the game the entire time...

I really don't want to be as Debbie Downer- BUT-. I've seen both of them play both on TV and in person. No doubt Messi is a great player. Maybe it's his age but Pele was a far better player. There I said it. Now guys, be kind when you throw me under the bus.

You have a valid point for discussion.
