Well its sort of an article on the US women preparing to play the US. From USAToday: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/2002-11-01-usa-goldcup_x.htm
It's 7:42 on the East coast and this game can't start soon enough. Go USA!! Only 2 hours 48 minutes until we have some fun!!
This "should" be another laugher with the walking cones from Panama giving up 5 or 6 goals and not even getting more than 2 shots. If the US will just take a few chances and be AGRESSIVE for once it "could" be much worse. However the Ape will probably have the team play even more conservitive and the US will only get 3 or 4.
the lineup! Not sure of the formation but the bench has been emptied! Beene Fair Hucles Reddick Chastain MacMillan Wagner Fawcett Millbrett Benson Wambach
A little odd. The problem with the US is that people are so versitile that its hard to tell what formation this is. Seems as though April is comfortable with the young guns getting some playing time. Its seems to me though that maybe she should start thinking about forming a regular starting line-up so that people get comfortable playing with each other and learn their roles. But, I'm not the coach. Jay
Formation as far as i can tell: Beene Reddick Fawcett Chastain Benson Hucles Fair Wagner MacMillan Millie Wambach Millbrett another goal! 2-0
If I recall correctly, that puts Millie at 93 goals... any chance she'll have 100 by half time? Congrats to her, too by the way
3 goals by Millie in the first 9 minutes. Pnama isn't bunkering yet and Millie just gets sprung past them. Wambach also hit one off the crossbar—hope Panama gets a bit more settled in so it's more of a game. MacMillan just hit the crossbar.
As far as assists go, the goals are coming so fast, I can't keep up! If the stats come up on screen, I'll pass it on. Panama finally has a few passes strung together.
like what other country...huh? i too hope that panama settles down a bit...the first part they looked frazzled giving up those quick goals to millie and mac.... elaine
ming- thanks for the info as you are able.. I do appreciate it greatly. Looking forward to the post game stats
