For a game that had its start time pushed forward four hours from its originally scheduled
8:00PM start time (Japan time), the USWNT played surprisingly well. With typhoons on the horizon,
the US Women quietly dispatched a Brazilian squad who played without their star player, Marta.
Brazil was also without their starting goalkeeper, Andrei, who picked up a head injury during their
recent game against Canada, diminishing their chances for revenge against the team that knocked
them out of the World Cup just nine months ago.
Brazil! They did open the World Cup with a win, but it wasn't particularly impressive over
Australia, only one goal scored in the match. Norway is expected to be a tougher opponent, though
many have tipped Australia and Brazil as the two teams to advance.
Anthems. Brazil's is peppy, Norway's is somber.
