a purple-haired lesbian surrounded by her teammates with giant “DARE TO SHINE” signs around her is like, an incredible image as we reach the end of Pride Month, it makes my gay little heart so fucking happy.

From Pinoe’s girlfriend...

I’ve always thought of Rapinoe as the Modric of the women’s game, great passer, not a lot of flash and she’ll snatch your soul if you don’t mind yourself.

Now we finally get to find out who has the best American goalkeeper at the WWC -- the US or England!

England and Germany are both ranked higher than France.

this game was so fucking good i still hate jill ellis but damn were these two evenly matched teams. rapinoe’s last couple games were meh overall but she showed the fuck up today. i’m swearing so much ‘cause OF THE ADRENALINE.
