That was a pretty good game last night. I thought the US was the better team, but they got some breaks and didn't finish really good opportunities. The German team came out like crazy to start the game...what pressure they were putting on. I assumed it couldn't last and basically died out after about 15 minutes when the US took more control. Pretty fun to watch.
I certainly didn't expect a USA win, much less a win by 2-0! I was pleasantly surprised.
Incredible that these women have more heart and guts than the men's national team.
The US has never failed to finish outside of the top 3 in the 7 women's World Cups that have taken place. Their program is consistently at or very close to the top in the world. Don't discount the performance the men put in back in 2002 over in Japan and South Korea.
Having said that, men's soccer is FAR more competitive than women's soccer. It's not even close really. Also, our best athletes in the US do not play soccer. They play football, basketball, baseball, hockey and lacrosse instead.
Not sure how you measure "heart and guts." Pretty sure how you measure skill.
I've no idea how it's measured but when people say an athlete has "heart", I'm pretty sure they're not talking about his skills but more his effort and attitude.
this sunday, is the most important day for this country, more important that "shark week", and also more important than "Terminator 5". im referring to the women's world cup final. USA vs Japan from Vancouver, gametime is 6pm central on FOX. we need every American soul near the tube on that day. we can do this, why, cause each and every one of is a proud american.
