    Didn't see the thread started anywhere, so I thought I would.... even if I am based in Australia. :)

    At the National Sports Center in Blaine, Minnesota, this Wednesday at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m ET on ESPN2 (and 9 a.m. Thursday, Melbourne time for me here), in their penultimate match before the Olympics, the USA women take on the Matildas.

    Roster story -- ussoccer.com

    GOALKEEPERS (2): Kristin Luckenbill, Briana Scurry;
    DEFENDERS (6): Brandi Chastain, Joy Fawcett, Kate Markgraf, Heather Mitts, Christie Rampone, Cat Reddick;
    MIDFIELDERS (6): Shannon Boxx, Julie Foudy, Angela Hucles, Kristine Lilly, Lindsay Tarpley, Aly Wagner;
    FORWARDS (4): Mia Hamm, Heather O’Reilly, Cindy Parlow, Abby Wambach.


    Here's Australia's team, I presume. The Matildas are currently on a North American tour, in the midst of their own Olympic preparations, and they've posted wins over Mexico and today (Australian time) against a USASA Select squad (2-0 in Milwaukee).

    Probably all-star players from the Adult Soccer Association League. Though there is a large margin for error in that statement. ;)

    They're probably the people who always criticize the uswnt players ....

    One (or two) in the same, yes. Can't go wrong with a pair of San Jose area girls. :)

    Preview, from ESPN Soccernet

    I had forgotten that these teams had been drawn into the same Olympic group.

    Should make it an even more interesting match, then. :)

    A story on Bri from the St. Paul Pioneer Press:

    Saving grace
    Olympic goalkeeper Briana Scurry, rarely able to be home because of team travel, was there when her father died.

    So the roster is just the Oly 18, or are a couple of mascots coming along in a 20 person roster?

    Any sign of a webcast, aside from the matchtracker at www.ussoccer.com?

    Today's the day... can't wait for the match. :)

    1-0 to the Aussies, after a genius volley by an AUS attacker.

    When was the last time April had the team ready when they walked onto the field? IT seems like ever game we are playing down to the other teams at the start. We never seem, anymore, to control a game from the start.

    April again is showing her ability to dumb down the team. The idea that there is anything to "hide" from anyone is ABSURD! All she is doing is increasing the other team's belief that they can play with the US.

    To top it off the US's back line is looking VERY sloppy right now.

    Bugger. :(

    And I can't believe there's no live coverage of the match over here, too. Not even via a webcast on any Aussie sites.

    Danielle Small was the goal-scorer, by the way.
