text: All the invective attacks against the women of this great US football team are disgraceful and inappropriate. From the comments I am reading, many are misogynistic, homophobic, discriminatory and anti-American. Their football is great. They deserve their accolades and applause. ------------ They are much more well known than their male counterparts, who collapsed *before* the World Cup's sweet-sixteen rounds. The men's game is going backward, whilst the women move forever forward. I bid them all of the best hurtling other teams going forth on their conquests for more victories.
