    I'm happier with the way we're playing -- if the stats on the ussoccer.com MatchTracker are any indicator -- but I'd love to see a second goal. That'll seal the deal.

    Bring Natasha Kai on, ASAP...

    Duh!



    73': Mitts cracks a nice shot on frame from 26.

    73' Heath on for Tarpley.

    Yes, indeed. Let her run at tired defenders, by all means.

    No mercy.

    Which is how I feel about one of our Olympic broadcasters here... no coverage on SBS. :mad:

    There was the discussion about the lack of logo on the jersey. Nice to see the two stars on the back collar.

    That was a FANTASTIC move by Heath to put herself in. I didn't know she had it in her!

    79': Wasn't that hand from the Japanese defender, not O'Reilly?

    Was a case of the ball playing the hand instead of the hand playing the ball.


    Damn, A-Rod! So close again!

    Usually the other way around. ;)



    I'd love to see A-Rod play in Boston after she graduates.



    81': Japan's 3rd sub. Nice do. :eek:

    Heath is the kind of kid that playes ALL the time. She's also got trick skillz.

    Had to go find the video of her and Nogueira during the U-20 Women's World Cup in Russia.

    Save the link for later after the game is over:

    I was going to comment earlier about Stephanie, but I got distracted. There was a play in her corner defending 2v1 with Heath. Cox was gassed and lazy and didn't cover. I hate that we have to use a sub for her, but it's the right call. I think she would have been a liability down the stretch.

    JP quote: "Cox seems to be a little fatigued" (when sub Buehler entered)

    Umm, that's how she has been jogging -- I mean running all game. You think he could have mentioned the turnovers as a problem?

    Not much movement.

    Kai for A-Rod.
