FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup 2012

I'd say perceiving it is one thing, dictating it publicly into a reporter's notebook another.

 

The Saturday's results: Germany - USA!! USA!! USA!!! 1-0, Norway - Switzerland 5-0.

 

A very good FK. Still that must be one of the earliest Reds ever given in a women's international ?!

 

I found this article:
http://www.handelsblatt.com/fussbal...rinnen-unterliegen-gegen-die-usa/6199666.html

Does this mean the US won? I think so, but not sure as I don't read German...

 

Yes, the US won 1-0. Goal by Lindsey Horan in the 82nd minute.
German Coach Meinert says that the US-Girls are in better shape at the moment, but she was pleased with the performance of the German team.

 

There's also a U-20 USWNT thread in the USA Women News & Analysis section.

 

Funny, the Swiss coach described their meeting with the U.S. with a similar lack of enthusiasm, and that was after seeing her side lose 10-0

 

Sorry for misinforming you

 

Huh, did you get the scores wrong?

 

Yes. US 1-0 Germany.

Thanks very much for that. It always takes the US soccer site so long to get the u20 scores posted.

 

Comments from the Swiss coaching staff after the La Manga tournament (which Switzerland finished without scoring a single goal but conceding 20).

Note at the bottom of the article: "There is no picture of all four teams together, because Germany unfortunately didn't think it necessary to come to the awards ceremony with its full team."
