Always a sign of a happy mission.

Yes, and early enough to move up laundry day.

He's elaborating...also note that the Cup Final tomorrow is U.S. vs. Japan.

Should be an interesting transfer briefing tomorrow...

Women's world cup, not the world cup. One is massive, the other is not

I'm not saying that to Dr. Magnus.

Makes perfect sense.
Woman's football (soccer) is nowhere nearly as popular in Europe as it is in the U.S. of A. There are hardly any women's teams on this side of the Atlantic. It is considered a man's sport. I would not be surprised if the U.S. of A. ends up as the winning team.

So much good work being done by the astronauts hauling all that equipment back and forth in and out of the Sation.

Yeah, looking at the FIFA Rankings, USA should easily win this one.

FIFA rankings - USA are 24th (they've been higher and are an improving team for sure):

But in the Women's rankings they are top.
