Hope Solo of course gets the most attention in these parts of the ladies on the United States
Women's World Cup squad. Some of that is due to her growing up in our state and playing for the
Huskies, it is also because she's quite good. The other most recognizable name for Sounders fans
that have only casually watched the games is Alex Morgan.

Hi AC- I read your blog and enjoy your media criticisms and was wondering what you thought of their
Women's World Cup coverage?
I think it's better than the men for a few simple reasons
1. No Lalas
2. Diciccio- great analyst, just wish they'd allow him more than just a few sentences a game.
Sunday's final vs Japan is going to be verrrryyyy interesting!! 2 completely different teams but
with the same die hard attitude! I'm torn over who I want to win, because I'm not totally sold on
the US team yet. Their style is...not so attractive, but their chemistry and attitude is
immense.
Lauren Cheney will need to control the tempo in midfield if the US are to defeat Japan.
