56' 2-1 Fleming chases center-to-left above own arc top left, sees Press oncoming, quickly outstep-flicks ball to the left of Press and runs around her on the right, collects at mid-(her)left -- cheeky skill! Press promptly steals it off her, laughs last! Press squares up at 22m arc right, snaps a diagonal pass toward Pinoe's run cutting from 6-left toward 13m 1/3 left. Pinoe misses ball, but it rolls untouched to Morgan lurking alone at 7m left post -- Canada insist in an offside position. Morgan pinpoint-stops ball, calm right instep pass across mouth into back right low. AR flags -- gol. Somebody must have been keeping her onside

Morgan was onside when Press passed it. She was just a step in front of Quinn. The officials got it right.
I just remembered Katie Witham was in the Charlotte, North Carolina studio of Raycom Sports covering ACC football yesterday.
Wow. A card. Finally. That was an easy one on that foul of Rapinoe. Also everything that just happened in the box was bad.
80' 3-1 Rapinoe turns away at 5m left touch -- then reverses her spin, back toward endline, hooks a cross to 6-top left. Morgan flick-heads down but not on-frame -- to 5m 1/3 right, away from all defenders. Lloyd is running exactly in that lane, opens right instep and hop-volleys in past Labbé still swiveling. 81' 3-1 USA subs in (4 of 6) #12 Lynn Williams for #23 Christen Press.
She can either be brilliant or she can be a turnover machine. You never know which Rapinoe will show up.
I don't understand this officiating. The AR easily should have called that foul or an offside just now.
