Love seeing the stands absolutely packed

but not watching.

I went to bed at 10:00 to get ready for this.

They’re much more organized and team play than in previous matches

I thought they might get one right before the end of the half.

It's been an exciting one.

Edited to add: but wait, you're probably rooting for the team in yellow, right?

the latest, the 2020 Olympics, was a gut wrenching loss versus a vastly inferior Canadian side, on pens

No matter what, it is a shame for one of these sides to exit the tournament this early.

Japan next (the US nemesis in the 2011 World Cup final, a massive upset or the US would have been going foe 4 straight, not 3)

then Spain or the Netherlands

and likely France or England in the Final

if we play England in the final, I cannot say who I will be for

totally conflicted

wifey will be for Sweden, she already said so

BUT we have 2 super tough games just to get there

the current WC power rankings by some US commentator:



meaning we may have to beat the top 3 teams (according to him) left

I disagree with Japan as number one

I would go with England or Sweden

here are the official FIFA rankings pre WC

Her kick would have made it 4-2.
