Champions, again.The United States Women's Nation Team took full honors at the Four Nations
Tournament with a 2-0 defeat of the hosts in Chongquing, China. The USWNT suffered an early set up,
losing 2-1 to Sweden, but then successive wins against Canada and China sealed the tournament win.
It was their seventh title in eight trips to the tournament.
As you can see, it's nice the nicest day ever in the Yongchuan suburb of Chongqing, and we're not
sure if its fog or smog, but probably a combo. Needless to say, it's pretty dark and cool here on
the first full day for the U.S. team in China, but no one comes to central China in January for
vacation, the USA is here for three excellent games.
And it's the team's second loss in the last five games:
CHONGQING, China (AP) -- The U.S. women's team began World Cup preparations by losing a
match in which it led for the first time in more than eight years.
Carli Lloyd's goal off an 11th-minute corner kick was offset when Stina Segerstrom scored in the
16th and Kosovare Asllani in the 60th to give Sweden a 2-1 victory over the Americans on Friday in
the opening game of the Four Nations Tournament.
The 2011 Four Nations ChampionsAnother exciting night in U.S. WNT history tonight as the USA rebounds from an opening game loss to
win two straight games and take the 2011 Four Nations Tournament championship. Two very nice goals
from the USA proved to be the difference in a match in which China had the majority of possession,
but the USA had the majority of chances.
