France was a good team...the US really didn't pick it up until midway through the second. France was killing them in possession time. All it took to get them motivated was a corner kick goal from, you guessed it, Abby Wambach. Alex Morgan finished it off just three minutes later at 82' to seal the deal. |

tough loss. Their second goal was our failure to clear the ball, tender had little chance.
Ya gotta feel good for Japan though.

Will do, for a few years anyway. When the world cup rolls around I'll be back at it for the men! It was a good game all around. USA just didn't finish well and allowed one bad goal with piss poor clearing. Oh well, WE'RE #2! WE'RE # 2! |

If you cut the stats to the last 2 teams playing, Japan came in next to last.  |

Also, a friend and I were discussing why we like women's soccer so much over men's. Aside from the obvious , I think the women don't put up all that 'gamesmanship' that the men do (the diving, faking injuries, etc.). They typically play a pretty lean and clean game, and thus it's a little faster and easier to watch. |

Well, I guess you could say that about watching the games on tv, but I'd argue the men's professional game is much faster, and more physical... a one-off event like the Women's World Cup may be cool to watch, but the pro league, WPS, is on life support with six remaining teams... a certain Mr. Luette was owner of a women's pro soccer team here, called the Oklahoma Outrage.... if somebody with a lotta money wants to start something at the old ballpark, I'm all ears.... But MLS is stable; and it's here to stay. |
