US need to score with this pressure now. China look very disorganized defensively but it won't last, and the US need to make it count while they have the opportunity.

The Chinese keeper Wang Fei didn't look so good so far. If the US gals continue their attacks, their first goal won't take too long now.

I was thinking of Alexandra Popp.

By far the best performance by the USA in this tournament so far, but it feels fragile while its still only 1-0. A second goal would end this now, I think.

by RedOranje Sat 27 Jun 2015, 03:16

That should have been the goal to end this... US need to be more clinical if they're going to stand any chance against Germany.

by VendettaRed07 Sat 27 Jun 2015, 03:21

USA is so frustrating to watch

We need to be better against Germany or we won't advance. Rapinoe coming back will be a massive boost. Hopefully we put it together.

by rwo power Sat 27 Jun 2015, 03:22

Well, Germany didn't exactly cover themselves in glory either today. I guess the semi final will become a great fight!

by RedOranje Sat 27 Jun 2015, 03:28

I wouldn't be surprised if the US start Morgan and Leroux or Rodriguez rather than Wambach against Germany. I think they'll try to use pace and movement to give Germany's backline problems rather than Wambach's power.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ended 1-0 either way or 1-1 (in which case I expect Germany would win on penalties).

by rwo power Sat 27 Jun 2015, 03:30

Today was the first ever penalty shootout for the German women. I wasn't aware of that. But at the moment this means we never missed a PK in a shootout so far XD

I'm sure some Germany/Bayern fan will correct me on this, but she looks a bit like Marco Reus... at least, their mouth areas look very similar.

And she kind of reminds me of Schweinsteiger.

Abby Wambach said the team had a Supreme Court-themed goal celebration ready if they had scored a second goal.

by RedOranje Sat 27 Jun 2015, 04:52

A bit disappointed we didn't get to see that.

by VendettaRed07 Sat 27 Jun 2015, 04:58

At half time, right before the second half started the team gathered and Abby Wambach was giving a speech while all the players were gathered in a circle.

Thanks to Fox I could hear what she said. " IN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF THIS HALF WE BETTER SCORE A ****ING GOAL" or something along those lines

Five minutes later They score.

Abby what a legend Very Happy

Oh, sorry. I copied the image link off your post, but I didn't read your original comment. At least one person agrees with me that they look similar Razz

Just kidding.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take the name of the French girl that looked like Cavani and I can't locate a photo of her.

by breva Sat 27 Jun 2015, 22:06

Here's Cavani. Not as close as I originally thought. But.

Australia doing well here. Not making it easy for Japan.

by rwo power Sat 27 Jun 2015, 23:43

In the 87th minute, Japan scored. Pity for the Matildas.
