Joda is right. I know England gives out a cap for a 1st, 50th, 100th 150th 200th and a final cap once you officially retire,
along with your first WC cap and first Euro cap.

I'd call her an attention whore for doing that but I think she is just a legit weirdo. I am sure she will move somewhere secluded with her wife and we won't hear from her.

Also we should talk about this stupid bullshit

Yeah she's pretty rough ridin' dumb

Yes, just a weirdo. I very much got the impression last night that she is a person I would never want to hang out with

ChiComCat · « **Reply #484 on:** December 17, 2015, 09:03:48 AM »

I am listening to her on the BS report and she is pretty nuts. I get some of her stances on at least closer pay equality in soccer and tennis as sports that are regulated by one governing body. Then she complains about JJ Watt making more money and its like she doesn't understand basic economic principles. Also, I am with her on the fact that playing on astro turf probably sucks, but don't tell me that the black rubber pieces call cancer. Just say it sucks and that the standard is different for men and women is bullshit.

And now I know. So... scarves.... I assume it was a Euro thing (colder?) and just caught on over here.

They're studying cancer clusters within soccer players who play on turf that uses tire infill.

Yea but that is far from anything proven and they study cancer in everything. I'm not saying its impossible there is a link, just that its the weakest argument. Sticking to the fact that its subpar, men wouldn't even be asked to play on it, and women are expected to should be enough (granted it apparently isn't).

Also the USMNT filed a response to the CBA issue. I bet it gets nasty.

Some of you had questions about soccer field dimensions.
NWSL decided to crap all over their players with that too.

They're booing her because she's a bad human.

Yeah definitely seems like they've shifted to zika chant.

Don't get pissed at her because your country has a health epidemic.

Is there anything redeeming about her other than she's gorgeous and a good goalie? She legit may be a sociopath.
