Carli Lloyd
Carli looks pretty, albeit potentially a TOUCH more formal than she needed to be -- but whatever, that's splitting a dumb hair. The dress does feel a bit older perhaps, or stiffer, than she seems to be. But she looks great in it, and she's awesome, and she scored a goal from HALFWAY DOWN THE FIELD that even went in after the goalie got a fingertip on it. I mean.
Alex Morgan
This is an unfug for me. It'd want to de-fuss the skirt and maybe make it a sassy mini -- although even if not, I would still lose the blue part of the skirt.
Alex Morgan
At an event the night before, she wore a jumpsuit that she is mostly selling except for how the pockets are like RIGHT over her ovaries.
Abby Wambach
She looks nice and polished, although I'm not sure how I feel -- as a general rule -- about the hipster pant length with no socks.
Abby Wambach
She looks happier in this, though. See? A groovy pair of shoes can change everything.
Ali Krieger
I LOVE your shoe game, Ali.
Megan Rapinoe
This is fairly bland, in a way her personality is not -- but it makes me smile, like she called up her mother and was like, "Ugh, can I just borrow something? I have better stuff to do with my money."
The US Women's Soccer Team (Or Rather A Portion Thereof)
Megan (the pink jacket) looks much cuter in her own stuff, and in her shiny brogues (I have some from Boden and I LOVE THEM so basically she and I are the same now; excuse me while I go score two goals against Australia real quick). The other ladies, left to right: Ali Krieger, Ashlyn Harris, Kelly O'Hara, Becky Sauerbrunn, Alyssa Naher. I LOVE O'Hara in her funky pants.
Ashlyn Harris
Ashlyn is the backup to Hope Solo. I'm curious how SHE honestly feels about the way that all went down. Unrelated: She is gorgeous, but I can't tell if this looks cool or just a little bit silly (due to the pants).
Kelley O'Hara
You need a bracelet next time, friend. But otherwise, your two outfits are a pretty damn great start out of the gate.
Christen Press
Her shoes and hair are good TOO. The women's soccer game is a pleasure to watch -- there's a lot of footwork and finesse there, and so much less dopey flopping than in the men's game, and all of that is more important than what I'm about to say. But it's also undeniable that they have a SERIOUSLY good ponytail game also.
Sydney Leroux
This is not my favorite. But it's also pretty fierce in its way, and it has attitude, and she embodies both of those things (that's a compliment). So it's a good match of outfit and athlete.
Hope Solo
She looks perfectly nice, and so does he, and that's about all I can say. His Wikipedia page is... a lot. Her problems -- whatever they officially are -- probably don't start with him, but he certainly isn't helping, is my feeling.
Hope Solo
The dress was more flattering.
The Women's Soccer Team (partial)
The two on the end almost look like they're wearing the same dress. YAY, celebrated ladies. You deserve it all.
