    Women have a lower center of gravity around their pelvis, while men have it near their chest. This does give one an edge when balancing. There are possibly other factors at play, but this a major reason why women may be greater at balancing.

    It took her 3 days of prayers to decide not to wear the jersey -- world class athletes need a much quicker decision making process. She can't kneel and pray whether or not she needs to run down that through ball -- she just needs to react. Fortunately the US was able to overcome God's smite after benching her and filling the team with lesbians and liberal swim suit models.

    I think they moved Crystal Dunn to play defender and from the games I saw she played pretty well...

    They also didn't take her teammate who made their league's All-NBA equivalent, which Hinkle did not make. I have no doubt that electing to remove herself from the team played a role in her not getting selected for the World Cup, but she chose that path. She didn't have to quit being Christian. She didn't have to quit being against Gay Marriage. She just had to wear a rainbow colored number.

    The USWNT pool of players is DEEP. They could field 2 - 23 women teams and one would #1 and the other #2 in the WORLD. Another 23 women team and it be top 6 at least. Mallory Pugh didn't even play after the group stage and she will be the star forward in 2023.

    I think their prehensile tail helps women balance better.

    I enjoyed the women's world cup. yuge ratings should be rewarded. 14ml viewers. That is more than game 6 of the NBA finals played by "men" who cry, prance, grab junk just to get a call from the ref. Not bad for an event that began in 1991.

    I could never get into the WNBA though. There is this guy on twitter, Shea Serrano who I followed on twitter thinking he was the carnal from "Blood in, Blood Out" who claims it's a great product and blocks anyone that says otherwise. It's just bad basketball like the mid 90s cavs.

    Who wins, the USA Women's World Cup winning squad or the NCAA Men's Soccer Champion? I'll take the men's champ.

    GOOD DAY

    Actually some internet research suggests that Canadian boys hockey teams in the 15-16 year old age group win about 50% of the time against the Women's Canadian Olympic team. And often the US women's soccer team plays against the Boys under 17 team with mixed results. So that's probably the answer. I was being too generous with the college champions comparison -- way too generous.

    GOOD DAY

    It's clear that conservatives are angry at how the team embarrassed your hero Trump. But shame on you and others for not supporting our country. It's horrible when we see such a lack of patriotism from people just over petty politics.

    I for one support my country, and am proud to be an American. The women's team represented America, good ole USA, and to slander their victory is to piss on our country.

    I guess you like to worship your Trump over respecting our country. So disappointing.

    Why should someone automatically support a president?

    That wellfare check line males me conclude you are one of these:

    1. A throw away account that is playing a parody of a dumb right winger

    2. Someone in high school still
