    Republicans say that the Algerian boxer is a man.

    The Algerian boxer has female genitalia and has always identified as a woman.

    So, either Republicans are wrong about how they are identifying the boxer, or now they have to finally admit that men can get pregnant after all.

    Your move, Republicans.

    Man, fuck that US soccer team. Getting routed by Morocco ... MOROCCO!?! ... in a knockout match is a traveshamockery.

    1. It's a U-22 tournament (with exceptions). U-20 champs of recent vintage include those juggernauts of Serbia, Ghana and Uruguay. Heck in 2012, Mexico won the gold medal instead of losing in the first knockout game like they've done in every tournament since the beginning of time. It's not that predictive.
    2. Morocco made the World Cup semifinals last time out.

    Morocco, whose senior team made the semifinals of the last WC? Who are starting Hakimi?

    Yes. The USMOT should not be losing 3-0 to Morocco. If it was 1-0 ... eh, well, those things happen. If it was 2-0, OK that's not good, time to regroup (again) and rebuild (again). But 3-0 is an abomination.

    It was 1-0 when I hopped in the shower and 3-0 when I got out, so I don't know what happened there. Also sounded like the ref was a bit dodgy.

    We lost, on the road, to Morocco.

    I'll see myself out.

    What in the fuck has the US men done to deserve any kind of nod over the country that was just in the WC semifinals?

    Your take is unhinged.

    The US men, whether U23 or the national team, are what their record says they are.

    It's not losing the match. It's the way they lost the match.
