They need a fullback badly, and while the best one is available, she hates gays.
Turns out she plays for the local team here, literally in my town.

I don't love her views, but I feel if she's good enough, she should be on the team.

Apparently international soccer has a huge problem with racism.

That's crazy because I've been told only straight white American males are racist.

13-0 final. Thailand should maybe rethink their soccer strategy.

Instant reaction on ESPN:
Well, Thailand isn't a good representative of what the U.S. will face. Now they've set the bar they'll be judged against.

Those two statements contradict one another.

I agree, but those statements still contradict one another. I think the writer should have done more to explain their meaning.

That score broke WWC records.
