Basic SportsmanshipWhy is the Women’s soccer team so easy to hate?
Because, for the most part, the sport at the top is filled with arrogance and privilege.
It's a rich kids sport. Shockingly expensive to excel in.
Silly controversies?Guess you are into thatCan’t wait for the transgendered teams to start competition....
But those weren't World Cup.I coached women's soccer for almost two decades at the club level, I've been on both sides of games like that. When you are on the wrong side of it, it's your job as a coach to teach your kids about not giving up, and about how to lose gracefully. It's also an opportunity for your team to learn. You want them to think; "Someday, with practice and effort, I can play like that." I have told my teams when we were on either side of it that it isn't the winning teams job to stop scoring. Lol, try to get a young kid to pass up a chance to score a goal.
I agree with you in so much as you never quit, you never expect the other team to show mercy.
That said, if you are the team on top, you take the high road. My daughter's coaches at the club level and high school level often put a govern on her. It was the right thing to do.
I find it interesting that the posters who are against "participation trophies for all" are now upset about the U.S. kicking some ass. Probably because it was women. Some guys can't stand that.

Quick question, how do you know who is against participation trophies?
---------------------------------------
I reached out to my daughter who plays at this level and has competed in World Cup and Olympic qualifying rounds, her opinion of the score and celebrations, "awful, disrespectful and unnecessary."
I raised her right. This is the correct takeaway from that spectacle.

Because you quoted my post and I am one of those who are against participation trophies, I am happy to point out that I fully support our team thrashing Thailand.

Participation trophies are more a fable than anything.
I do believe some may be given to 5 year olds but personally I have never seen them given out.
My youngest has roughly 100 trophies, medals or plaques, all earned.

OH and BTW, teh disgusting display of poor sportsmanship was far worse than any participation trophy ever given.
I just thought you should know.
Back to subject, I was shocked to see Jamaica lose today to Italy by such a big score.
Jamaica is not a bad team.

If they aren’t trophies from championships or tournaments and don’t say “1st Place” or “2nd Place”, face it, they are participation trophies.

So being "chosen" MVP of tournaments, being selected the best player in the state, being awarded the best athlete in your school, being chose one of the top 72 players in the country are all participation awards?
You are an idiot.
Almost half time between Sweden and Thailand...same score as USA and Thailand at half...3-0. Sweden poor sports too?
