They would dominate the news. And if the beat down a shitty team 13-0 it would be held up as a sign of their domination.

Maybe the men’s team will actually make the World Cup next time.

And as an aside...I am not soccer fanatic. But it looks to me like the US women are way more technically astute than the US men. Their passes actually go where they want them to.

But you know, we 53 year old southern white guys are just biased that way!
