Hahaha, prepping for boob-grabbers. Hehehe.

Charge! · Mar 12, 2007

*hears crickets*

Damb it, people, we have an Algarve Cup win-or-else game in a half-hour!

Us: Solo, Mitts, Whitehill, Rampone, Lopez, Lloyd, Osborne, Chalupny, Tarpley, Lilly, Wambach

Them:
GK: Caroline Jonsson
D: Stiga Segerstrom, Hanna Marklund, Sara Thunebro, Marlene Sjoberg
MF: Lotta Schelin, Therese Sjorgan, Salinna Olsson, Frida Nordin, Nilla Fischer
Up Top: Maria Aronsson

No Victoria Svensson, on the bench today.

US must win to get to the title game, a draw won't do. Germany beat Denmark, 3-0, and Norway is losing to France, 1-0 early in the first half. The boobgrabbers need to beat France by 3 goals to ace the Danes out of the final. If they don't, Denmark goes through on goal difference

Charge! · Mar 12, 2007

Winner of US-Sweden (no score, 25 minutes in) plays Denmark for the Algarve Cup Wednesday afternoon; France held on and beat Norway 1-0.

US v Sweden - End of 1st Half

[result]US finished the half off with a couple of exclamation points. Goals by Wambach (Tarpley assist) at the 42 minute mark and in extra time Lloyd (assisted by Lopez). Its going to be a fun second half since the US will likely get a ton of counter attacks next half with Sweden having to push forward if they want to try to get to get back in the game.[/result]

Charge! · Mar 12, 2007

US-Denmark for the Algarve Cup Wednesday. 3-2 final; Wambach got a 76th minute goal to make it 3-1, Sweden converted a PK in the 84th minute, and could not get any closer.

Charge! · Mar 12, 2007

Hat tip: 'abby2004'

There will be a 6-game USWNT Women's World Cup Send-off Series in which the first two matches were announced: June 16 v. Brazil in Cleveland (Browns Stadium) and 6/23 vs. Brazil at East Rutherford, NJ (Giants Stadium). Four other games, July 14, July 28, Aug. 12 and Aug. 25 do not have venues or teams announced yet.

US v. England, at the Linc. The return of Kelly Smith to Philly. We want it, US Soccer. Give it to us, dambit!
