so friggin glad i woke up to watch this match... 3 min in and they are down 2 nil..

1st goal... poor defending positioning and Hope Solo was forced to come out and punch and couldnt quite get there...

2nd goal... poor poor drop pass and boom USA was shocked..

my club team doesnt make these sort of mistakes.. so much for that 21-0 run...

I think it's ok and they will get ticked off and come out of the group still..

US Women get the Gold, a little bit of "told you so" by Hope Solo...Scurry gave up 4 goals against the same Brazilian team in the WC.

1-0 US

this was a totally different team in front of her then in the WC as well...

A Rod and O Reilly are going to be with this team for a loooong time.. Glad to see carly stepped up too... lets get rid of Boxx now and as much as i would hate to say it.. Heather mitts has got to go as well...

great plan by pia as well... once Brazil ran out of gas the US turned it up a few notches and you just knew who was going to win...

Hope Solo made some tremendous saves as well.. Bravo girls!
