man, Mia was hungry today. I thought she's score for sure. Oh well, we won. Wish we had updates on the other games.
Yep Somewhere in Matchtracker history (today) is a note that Sweden and Canada tied 1-1. Congrats to the US....and to Joy on her super game! Ha! and Kristine shut out Dagny! (or was that Joy? )
I must say, US Soccer's match tracker is a hell of a lot better than WUSA'S! They actually have some decent commentary, whereas WUSA's just has boringly stated facts. ok, time to get off this damn thing and go get some stuff done around here! L8R! N~
There are probably a dozen or so China v France threads in the Charge forum right now.... Sorry...I'll put the next PBP thread in FCM instead of here.
Here is a brief report from US Soccer (full match report to follow later): http://www.ussoccer.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=29152&itype=
Here! Here! Should the MatchTracker person actually read this thread..or anyone connected to that person.. I hope that this sentiment is extended heavily.... and oh, hey..to the entire USSF for providing us not-in-Portugal-ers with the opportunity to gleen information about the match..... as we wait patiently for a full game summary. THANK YOU Might MatchTracker person
who cares what the people said that our win today is a fluke, whether fluke or not gol is a gol thats the bottom line and we moved up the table
Here is a small AP article on today's match: http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=ap-norway-uswomen&prov=ap&type=lgns
I am happy to see that the US (Mia) got caught offside a few times today. That is a sign of an aggressive offense. Someone mentioned "greedy" and that is good for a forward. I was more disappointed in the fact that the US had no offside calls against Canada than I am about a few calls today. The forwards have to strectch the defense to its limit and beyond. Make them worry about the missed offside call that could lead to a breakaway.
more pictures... here are a few more pics from the usa-norge match... fawcett and riise: http://www.dailysoccer.com/?page=pi...PJ03.160303.222110&id=25654&country=&offset=1 macmillian: http://www.dailysoccer.com/?page=pi...PI98.160303.222052&id=25653&country=&offset=1 elaine
Here is a CyberSoccerNews.com account of the Norway v US match: http://www.cybersoccernews.com/uswomen/030317usnorway.shtml So far I've posted two CSN articles...are the writers actually there in Portugal?
