Who is a bigger failure at the Olympics to far. USWS or USMBB

the biggest failure is none other than lyna irby

how can you stand at the wrong place WTF

use your eyes

Lol you just confirmed my response. What is the rate of participation for distance running in Ethiopia? Who is considered a sporting legend in the country? By contrast if you were to ask random people in the USA who

Kevin Durant

Megan Rapino

Jack raley

Are?

Who do you think would get recognition?

Until that changes no need to ask about marathoning results. Not enough talent to expect anything better than what you get.

On the other side the men basketball team get paid enough and get enough support that should be no competition allowed. Does the dream team mean anything to you?

Well the US women’s soccer team made the semifinals.

I thought they got badly outplayed by Netherlands, but came up big in penalty kicks.

Lots of names and lots of excuses, but still no US distance runners I see. I'll give you until the end of the Olympic Games to think of one - just one.

No excuses only you deluding over a grandeur that it's long gone. In every single answer I gave you, I explained to you that talent is needed to succeed and the level of talent in the us distance team is not there. Asking the same stupid question failing to comprehend an answer indicates what kind of individual you are. Did the performance of the WSNT, full of supposedly the "best" talent, satisfied you? I'll keep telling you till the end of the Olympics they are a disappointment and you could not prove it wrong ence the need to divert from the topic to discredit an other group. You have no argument over the fact that analyzing their performance they are underperming.

Now after celebrating the gold in women soccer and their great performances. Do you still feel the need to discredit us male runners?

Did I miss something? Did a US mens distance runner win something at these games? Oh, you must be pumped about the 5th place medal in the 10k. Well, if that's your idea of success! I'll take the long term success of the USWST over that. USWST will win international honors again before a US distance running man does - that's for sure.

Yes it is still early in the Olympics but after the 1st weekend who is a bigger bust at the Olympics the US Women's soccer team or the Men's basketball team?

The Women's 'soccer' team are still hot favourites to win the gold. Would hold back on calling them failures yet.

They got knocked out by Canada, eh. This was a tournament too far for this team and I think they will find it very hard to climb back to the top now that other countries are actually investing in the woman's game

If you give your country the middle finger, you will not have fans. Too much concern for anything but soccer or basketball by these privileged whiners. They truly have no idea how lucky they are to live in the USA. None.

Yes you did. The OP was about disappointing results from the us women soccer team. You are the only one trying to ignore FAILURE. How pumped are YOU for the disappointing result? Long term success based on lack of competitive opponents means ass to grass squat. Stop being a sore looser. The future is going to serve plenty of humble pie.

Please don't write things like this. Some posters like us men distance runners for gold have fragile egos. They can't handle statement like this. Long term success means anything to them.

The women are out of the Gold medal but they did win the consolation game. If the Men win the Gold then the women will be the bigger failure.

A) Show me who gave the country the middle finger. I'll wait, but I know you've got nothing.

B) Social justice protests by USWNT players started as early as 2016. In 2019, the USWNT averaged over 25,000 fans a game (third highest in the team's history, and better than 12 baseball teams that year). You should stop using whatever drug it is that led you post that they have no fans.

USMT&F, for the loss.

The future? The present is serving up plenty of humble pie for apologists for the US mens distance runners who continue to stink it up in Tokyo. You would think the male visitors to a US distance-centric running site might want to focus on how US distance runners are doing, but I get it. Easier to deflect from the failures under your nose, and point to the (relative) successes of others that you try and misconstrue as failures. USWNT and USMBB have already exceeded anything any US distance man has done at these games. 5th place in the 10K as a cause of celebration shows you how low the standards have fallen for male US distance runners. Now feel to go ahead and rag on the women and POC who are representing their country well while people like yourself try to diminish their accomplishments.

Worst men can do is the silver. But that would still be considered a failure.
