Tried looking that up all I’m finding is some NASA person who died at 101

Regardless, the WTAs actions shine SOME light on what they do to their own citizens.

If this happened to a WNBA player they might. The pressure to stand up would be huge.

Is it more insane than the disappearance of Katie Johnson?

Lmao, thank you for this.

Mbappe has never been defeated by Messi’s team in normal time or extra time. Only on penalties. Messi has lost twice. 2018 and 2021. Both times Mbappe scored 2 and 3 times.

It goes to show how corrupted US Soccer is. In its current state my kids have no chance at making the national team even if they had the skill unless we are connected to management somehow. That doesn’t even account for the tens of thousands of dollars to play club soccer to get to that point. Only to be cut because we aren’t best friends with someone in bed with US Soccer. It stinks.

Please describe what you’d rather see from the team

Keep your casual racism away from here

Nothing lol as he wins the World Cup in his first one

In a country of 300 million we couldn’t find any better striker than the son of one of the former mediocre team members.

It’s a farce.

My brother works with a gold medal winning basketball player. She is super nice. Also used to play in Russia actually… but left in like early 2000s…

Have you met every Chinese American? That's a fuckton of travel and meeting people, how do you afford it?

You are right to judge this situation harshly but bro this is absolutely on-brand for the international soccer scene.

Check out the drama in the French squad...and they got to the fucking final.

That weird. Tennis is the #1 sport of Chinese American students. Right behind anything that has anything to do with being 1st chair in any orchestra.

Thank u

Not a single one was, unfortunately

I don't want Berhalter back, but to weaponize domestic abuse for retaliation in a grudge like this is SO gross.

I feel like this is just another “China gonna China” thing.

They’ll wait for it to blow over and then pretend it never happened. Even if it takes a decade.

a substitute substitute, as it were

I mean, kind of. Li Na was an excellent Chinese player and many fans tuned in just to watch her. I haven’t watched in a while but I doubt there aren’t any solid Chinese players on either tour

It’s called having a job. No one congratulates you for being brave enough to still call in to work after a promotion or a bonus.

>In response to Berhalter's characterization of the events, Danielle Reyna said, "Without going into detail, the statements from yesterday significantly minimize the abuse on the night in question. Rosalind Berhalter was my roommate, teammate and best friend, and I supported her through the trauma that followed.

This is gross. What kind of sick person leverages her friend’s trauma 30 years later because her son didn’t get enough playing time?

Gio deserved to be on the field, but damn his parents are awful.

The WTA had made a 10 year deal to hold the WTA Finals in China, after a significant monetary commitment from the Chinese. The WTA gave up on what was a significant income source after the Peng Shuai ordeal.
