    I haven't seen any info on the starting XI but I'd like to see some changes from the Haiti game, if for no other reason than in an effort to save legs given the short turn around all tourny.

    Personally, I'd like to see Boxx sit this one out just to save some miles on the 33 year old legs. I'd like to see Sauerbrunn or Krieger for different reasons but let's just stick w/ to save 32 year old legs.

    matchtracker says that mitts is in again. but cox for buehler, rapinoe start. everyone else the same. so i'm hoping IT IS WRONG AGAIN

    it has both krieger and sauerbrunn listed as subs.

    seriously what is pia thinking starting mitts again if matchtracker is correct? I WANT TO SHAKE HER LIKE AN ENGLISH NANNY!

    edit: unless her masterplan is to kill mitts through exertion then golf clap to you ms sundhage

    I don't know about epic. No wacky bleached rat tail braid thing like she had in that one CRS game...

    Are we the only two w/o exciting Halloween party plans and so are home watching the webcast?

    was Rapinoe trying to hit ARod in the stomach w/ that free kick?

    When they flashed the available sub list on the screen, it looked like Buehler was not on it. They might have been mistaken, or I might have just missed her name, but if she's really not even on the bench, it suggests that either she's injured or she's deliberately being rested. If she were simply demoted from the starting lineup as a tactical decision by the coach, you'd have to figure she'd still make the bench.

    Is it utterly wrong of me to observe that that Guat player taking the goal kick makes me feel a bit better about my own body shape relative to the amount of exercise (not much) that I get?

    OMG I just turned on the game and Rapinoe missed! That's unacceptable I'm sorry it should be 5-0 already

    sidenote: anybody notice the chunky guatamala player?

    The announcers were just talking about#20 - according to them she has a strong body.

    That's the other side of Rapinoe. She commits a high number of fouls in WPS, too.

    According to Match Tracker, she's not on the bench. Krieger and Sauerbrunn seem to be the defensive alternatives.

    b/c she backed her up there? I disagree. But I would, wouldn't I.

    Well, good for ARod. She actually sprinted to the rebound & scored. Maybe she was worried Buehler was going to beat her to another ball. (nice shot by HAO, too).
