I haven’t been following the women’s World Cup but am watching the game going on now. It seems I have a full on crush on Megan Rapinoe. I have no idea why. But it’s more than a girl crush. She reminds me of Brienne of Tarth on Game of Thrones. Anyway, she scored the first goal and this team is really, really good.
Conversely, the coach of the French team will probably be in my next nightmare. She’s terrifying! At least one commenter here is in Paris now. They are have a huge heat wave.
It seems the women are just as dramatic when they are fouled as the men are.
I’m mostly posting this to say that I am not getting anything done today. I was gifted a very nice duck prosciutto that I am not worthy of. I am trying to cook slices of it. I know this is probably the worst sin ever. The first few slices kind cooked too much. Banjo will have a few very expensive dog treats. The second batch looks fine. I plan on eating it with green olives and feta. I wish I had a crusty French bread.
All the foodies can now mock me for treating fancypants duck prosciutto like raw bacon. I deserve it.
What are you doing on this beautiful Friday? Anyone want to come and clean the ghetto shack?
I’m heading out for a weekend of scratch tickets, vodka and lake views. I plan on zero cleaning 😬
First time commenter but loyal reader. I’ve been watching thier games and left work early today, just to be home in time to watch it… and yes the French coach is absolutely terrifying lol
I mean I knew it couldn’t just be me! She is going to give me nightmares for real.
GOOOAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! I am a few minutes behind live but my girlfriend just made her second goal of the game.
Yep….she looks great. Shame that last goal was off side.
Watch it again.
I ❤️Rapinoe
Megan is pretty terrific. Glorious day. I will clean for green olives any day!
That was a FANTASTIC GAME! I usually watch men’s soccer on the Mexican channel. So I was screaming GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL and missed my favorite Mexican game announcer.
Somehow it was still a nailbiter til the end. I worried about taking Rapinoe out with so much time still left in the game. The French giant Renard (?) was still in there and she is gooooood. If we had lost I would have rooted for France.
I’ll virtually help you clean. I’m leaving on a midnight train to Georgia. Try wrapping thin slices of the prosciutto around cantaloupe or musk melon.
I’m in Italy for destination wedding – the Italians are saying this is an “African heat wave” worst heat wave since 2003 – breaking records! Thank God we booked air bnb with air conditioners as my understanding is the Italians do not believe in it!
Watched the earlier USA win in an “Irish pub” with all Italians. This game was a nail bitter with the line up, subs, defensive strategy after 2-0 score! Megan should win the tournament match golden boot award! She’s very good!
I’ll come clean your home ..Oct ok with you? I need to recover from this heat wave first!!
Go England! Sorry? Never ⚽️⚽️⚽️
You are TOTALLY allowed to root for your team here!
But my girlfriend Megan is going to annihilate your team. 🙂
I have a total girl crush on Megan too. She’s really carried our team.
Also here with girl crush on Rapinoe! She’s a national treasure. Super excited for the game tonight!
Rapinoe is not in the starting lineup and did not warm up!!!! What is going on???? Alex Morgan just got her head banged up pretty bad. Score tied 1-1
Alex Morgan just scored a goal. It’s her birthday. USA! USA!
These Brits are BRUTAL. I can’t look away from this game.
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! That was another AMAZING GAME. Can’t WAIT for Sunday!!!!
