Figured I'd get this thing started. T-minus 7 hours. Don't know if this will turn into a PBP thread or random updates thread or what. Oh well...enjoy! Canada v USWNT 9:00am ET This match will be carried *knock on wood* on MatchTracker at www.USSoccer.com.
so far so good in terms of matchtracker.... this game will spoil me (as a team canada fan), because next game i'll be sitting infront of the computer going 'i wonder what the score is!' lol hopefully a good game is to come...although i'm bummed that some of canada's players are injured and will not play (namely, IZZY! lol) WAR CANADA!!! heehee :: goes back to her igloo :: elaine
So far there's not much going on. Latham has been caught offside once in the 1st minute. Then she had a shot in the 3rd that was easily handled by Scurry. Corner by Kiss is flicked into play by Hooper and goal Canada. Not sure who it was that scored, though, because there was scrambling. USA 0-1 Canada
USA starts: Scurry, Pearce, Fawcett, Chastain, Sobrero, Foudy, Hucles, Tarpley, Lilly, Hamm, Milbrett Canada counters with a young squad: LeBlanc, Boyd, Nonen, Randee Hermus, Brittany Timko, Neil, Kiss, Sinclair, Lang, Latham, and Hooper Canada is up 1-0 in the 8th minute with a goal off a CK.
supposdly hooper scored it...YEA YEA! seems like there's not much US stats in terms of the tracker...go canada! WAR CANADA!!! elaine
if you look at the match stats...all goose eggs down the US's side...it doesn't even seem like they've been on our side of the field yet... now i hope our defense is solid... WAR CANADA!!! elaine
I can't get Matchtracker to completely load. So please keep the comments coming. What was the Pierce comment?
She committed a foul around midfield during the 11th. Hamm just took a corner in the 30th and it went out of bounds.
Tracker says the match is getting physical and the ref isn't letting anyone get away with anything. Chastain is getting up slow after getting tangled with Neil in the midfield.
I know Pearce is playing. Who's Pierce? From matchtracker: So, if there are fouls being commited, tell us who, damn it.
Yeah, they're making it out like it's a wrestling match, but I haven't seen any cards. Now in the 38th it says the US is beginning to take control of posession but can't break down Canada's backline. Foul on Canada during the 38th. Doesn't say who committed the foul.
'canada commits foul in the midfield'... i think they're c/p that comment over and over! lol...i wanna know who's involved! lol elaine
I'm really glad to see Milbrett and Hamm out there on the pitch at the same time. Hamm beat LeBlanc to another ball in the box during the 40th, but her first touch was too much and it rolled out for a goal kick.
Does anyone have a bleeping URL for Matchtracker? I can't find it on US Soccer's home page. Bleeping bleep of bleep. I need caffeine.
