This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Do you guys follow the USWNT? by Irishlawyer

There's a sad state of affairs brewing there. We just finished this "created" SheBelievesCup and had our asses handed to us twice. What's worse is that if you think Juergen was bhad, you haven't seen anything until you take a look at Jill Ellis and her ridiculous selections.

Many argue that this tourney was a good place to work in some newer, younger talent. I'd argue that's what friendlies are for. Playing players out of position is one of Jill's favorite "strategies". It worked brilliantly yesterday.

Title IX gave the USWNT a huge jump on the rest of the world and a trained monkey should be able to dominate women's soccer despite the best efforts of the English to make women's soccer a priority. The FIFA report on Women's soccer showed that the USA is a juggernaut. Unfortunately, Jill Ellis has frittered away our advantages.

First the Olympics and now this ridiculous cup we set up on our home ground.

Time for Sunil to go. Time for Ellis to go.
