tOfficial 2015 Women's World Cup

Got the win which is great but we're not gonna win this thing if we can't score goals more easily. The team seems like its stuck in 3rd gear. We can probably beat China but Germany could smoke us with the kind of play we're seeing right now.

Yeah this team has showed up yet... and if they haven't by now it's hard to just turn it on in the final two games

 

[tabascojet]

i have to agree with the commentators, the coach has them in the wrong offense. relying on an old abby to solve all the scoring woes is outdated....

 

[Davis_Mike]

Germany may be the better team, but to me, France is the more dynamic scary team.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Yeah French women are real "dynamic"

Chinese govt announces they'll give each of their women's soccer players up to 250k if they beat the USA today.

 

[podsox]

why dont they move the kickers back in shoot outs? goal has absolutely no chance. they just guess

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Wow france should have won that, missed an open shot before the shootout. This very well could have been the final. Best ending of a game so far.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Finally, the coach makes some moves I agree with. Starting Amy Rodriguez for Wambach & Kelley O'Hare were long needed moves.

Gets some speed on the field & blow China off the pitch.

 

[wildturkey]

Geez. Can we put one away? Some great looks so far but none have found the back of the net. But at least the team looks aggressive for a change

 

[wildturkey]

FINALLY! Lloyd puts one away at the 50 minute mark

 

[Anointed One]

Great game by Team USA, especially being shorthanded... 25 straight against China and no goals allowed since we played Australia...

That's 10 years worth of salary in China...

 

[Anointed One]

USA! USA! USA!

 

[gobigred]

USA wins 1-0

 

[RegentDenali]

Lloyd just told the Chicoms to put the checkbook away. USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

 

[wildturkey]

Hopefully they play with that kind of aggression against Germany because that's gonna be a tough out. Keep that mentality with Rapinoe back in the line up and we should be ok. I'm not sure I'd play Wambach though. It just seems like when she's in there, everything just stagnates to just trying to launch headers to her.

Only working a 3/4's work day today to get home in time to watch this game.

Really, it's just an excuse to get out of working in the 110+ heat as soon as possible...

Too damn hot here man

 

[Davis_Mike]

Too damn hot man

You bet. I'm used to it, but I barely do any labor other than operate some heavy machinery nowadays. Still, just standing around in jeans, heavy work boots, long sleeves & a hard hat in this heat can be brutal at times. Most days 6-2:30. I try not to work too many 10+ hour days or 6 day work weeks in the summer. Unfortunately, the crew loves overtime...
