Largely agree.

By eye-test, there’s less flopping in the women’s game, and definitely less rolling around on the ground in agony (or “agony”).

VAR stops the game cold, which isn’t great in games that already have pauses, like football and baseball, but worse in soccer, where the biggest advantage it has as a spectator sport is the lack of interruption.

USWNT was great in the tournament, is great in general. Yay moment of national pride! Ok, now back to the news.
