LENA LUTHOR 5.06 - Confidence Women
I just want to say that it has been an honor and a privilege to have had this generation be the generation of USWNT players that “raised” me. ❤️
🚧 under construction 🚧
Check out amelmajrii or lea-schuller, or this post they did for the Match Day 1 games--the channels/apps/websites there should still be valid for the upcoming matches.
A search on YouTube should at least show some highlight videos--if not full match ones. These are the ones I could find on a cursory search:
Soccer Villa
Livescore41
Hits Pedia
King SportVN
I think the apps/websites listed in amelmajrii's post will show replays. These are ones confirmed to have full match streams/replays:
7Plus -- all the matches for free, but needs a VPN to Australia
...others to be added (if you know of an app/service/website that has replays, please let me know and I'll add it on here)
NeySport (I haven't seen them post Olympics matches, but they've done so in the past for other competitions, so they might post for this too)
My Drive - I'll add videos here as I finish recording them - These videos were / will be recorded with ffmpeg because they are not encrypted so I didn't / won't have to use a screen recorder :) - The 15-minute break between the halves are included in the recordings. I decided not to edit the raw recorded videos because that would have taken more time, especially if I want to keep the file size down.
I see a lot of people who tell young people–especially young people who are heading into college–that they should “do what they love.” And they’re right. You should do what you love.
But there’s a world of difference between doing what you love for you, and doing what you love for a paycheck.
I went to undergrad for graphic design and 3-D design–art and more art, I usually say–and I loved it. You know what I didn’t love? Trying to collect my fees from clients. Trying to meet unrealistic, over-simplified or over-specific briefs from people who didn’t know what they were talking about. Coming home, having worked creatively all day, with no creative juice left for the things I wanted to do.
You know what I would tell you instead? Do something that you can be interested in, with people you like.
You don’t have to love it. Loving your work can be a lot, and it often means you have to live in your job 24/7. Some people can do that. Not everyone can, or should. But if you can find work that’s interesting enough that it doesn’t feel tedious, and people you can enjoy spending your 9-5 with, and you can make money, that’s great! It means you can do the things you love for you.
I’m in law school now. It’s interesting work, and difficult, and I like doing it. I like how complicated it gets, and I like the stories it tells. But I don’t come home and read law journals for fun. I come home, and I sculpt, and I draw, and I paint, and I read. I do these things for me.
And I love it.
You’ve probably heard of Akita Inus:
And Shiba Inus:
Which are really cool and cute Japanese dog breeds. Let me introduce you to these other cool and cute Japanese dogs, which I think deserve equal attention.
The Kishu Inu:
The Hokkaido Ken:
The Kai Ken:
The Shikoku Inu:
I just really love dogs, and look how cool they are! Dogs!!!

“I felt like I wasn’t enough for a very long time, and then somehow I just decided that I was. And I decided that I was enough for me and if I wasn’t enough for him at the time, it wasn’t my fault and it wasn’t his fault either. And it still is nobody’s fault when I don’t fit with another person. Love is beautiful and soft and achy and harsh and I think I’ve decided that not many people deserve to make me feel those things. I think I decided who I’m going to let destroy me and who I’m not. You and I, we deserve that much, don’t you think? I have weak moments constantly. I’m still drowning in love that may or may not return but has been absent for years. Absolutely drowning in it. But I am enough for me and you are enough for you. And whoever is coming or coming back, whoever is for us, we will be enough for them too”

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.
I feel like I have to do a recap but I’m so emotional I literally do not have a coherent thought.
But.
ALYSSA FUCKING NAEHER. #1 on the field, #1 in my GOD DAMN HEART. She showed up for us and she played like the best goalkeeper in the world. The control and calm and confidence. She is a treasure.
Rebecca Sauerbrunn and her TACKLES and her HEADERS and her CLASS ACT DEFENDING.
Abigail Bell pepper, I’m not in a negative mood so I will not harp on mistakes. She has been progressively better and I hope she’s kind to herself going into the semi’s.
Crystal Dunn. Out here with the SMOOTHEST tackles I’ve ever seen in my life. Worked her ass off. Saved us defensively and got things going. BIG LOVE TO HER.
Miss Kelley. I knew as soon as she missed the Miedema tackle that the fangs were coming out. She was ruthless, aggressive, and love her or hate her, held her own. (PK aside). And no concussion this time, g’bless.
SAMANTHA MEWIS. I’m sure her subbing was planned. She wasn’t totally out of her funk early on but god dammit, she found her stride. What a MOMENT for her to equalize. I could have cried. She basically KNEELED for a header. Love that Snacks combo. Love that for Sammy Bananas.
JULIE ERTZ. Another savior on a few plays. Idk how she is still going. 120 minutes after 2 full nineties and a 45, fresh off injury. MAAM. Take care of yourself. Keep being a T. rex bulldozer.
LINDSEY HORAN. Her fitness level is there. Whatever she is doing with that gym she always posts about, MORE OF THAT. Even in extra time, Lindsey was the first to track back, there was no let up. She connected with Tobin well and with Pinoe. Her finishing will come. She’s getting herself in the right places. I am staying POSITIVE.
ROSEMARY LAVELLE. Continues with the maximum effort. She is someone that will never give up, she’s going out swinging. No one can question her grit and her tenacity. Her reign of left footed bangers against the Dutch has been put on hold, (in regulation time at least. Her PK was chefs kiss perfect.) Rosie is having herself a tournament(!) and I am so here for all she has to give.
TOBIN. She’s building every game. She tracked back and she was making smarter passes. Tobin magic is still to come, I can feel it.
Carli drew lots of fouls for us and I can take it. She feels someone on her back and takes it PERSONALLY. Put in a good shift for us and allowed us to have a fresher Alex Morgan for the second half and extra time.
LYNN. LYNNIE. What a moment for her. What a STORY. She played with freedom, without pressure, AND SHE DID WHAT WE ALL KNOW SHE CAN DO IF SHE FOCUSES. Her and Sammy have a special connection and what a GAME for them to capitalize on it. Gorgeous assist. GORGEOUS goal.
Alex. My goodness is she so close to the lethal form the world fucking fears. She was making the runs, she had her chances. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?? SHE MADE HER DAMN PK. Rio redemption number one.
Pinoe. Sweet P. She doesn’t have the legs for 120 games. We know this. She knows this. So yeah. Mid-hit things we’re used to her nailing. Set pieces left something to be desired. But she put it all out there. She DID track back. And she did what she does best and she BURIED her PK. She’s a magical human.
AND THEN CHRISTEN. Thank god for meditation. I would have stolen that offsides flag and launched it to the moon. She’s itching for goals. And it’s always just INCHES. She’s a step back, and shit, watch the fuck out. And I know I’m probably not as proud as Tobin or as relieved as she was for herself. BUT THAT PK. That PK. CHRISTEN PRESS STAYED CALM AND PUT THAT BITch away.
Sorry to the Netherlands, you hate to see them cry. (I mean, I wanted them to lose but I’m not a monster.) Viv had a crazy tournament, but BYE. See y’all next time!
ON TO CANADA. NO ONE SPEAK ILL OF THE GALS (looking at you DvD.) DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THEM. LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
