After sweeping through the qualifying for the Olympics 2012 in London like Charlie Sheen on Tiger
Blood, the USWNT decided to put their emphatic stamp on the tourney and ensure a top seed. Wambach
nets two to move her to 2nd all time in FIFA's top women goal scorers (131) and the US rolls to a
4-0 win that wasn't as close as the scoreline indicates.
It was the Alex Morgan show as the US downed Canada in the final of CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying.
Morgan scored twice and assisted on two Abby Wambach goals as the US ran out easy winners over the
host nation. The game was largely meaningless save for regional pride, with both sides having
already qualified for this summer's London games.
The US and Canada are moving on to the 2012 London Olympics. Behind another strong shutout
performance by the US. Heath, Lloyd and Morgan all score for the US against Costa Rica. The US
carry a 34 goals for, 0 goals against into the final Sunday night in Vancouver.Video: Universal

The USWNT is pissed. Seriously.How else would you explain the fact that they went 3-0 in the group
stages of Olympic Qualifying with a +31 goal differential and no goals against?The latest
installment saw the US beat Mexico by a score of only 4-0. I say only because with 14-0 and 13-0
scorelines in the previous two matches, 4-0 seems kind of anticlimatic.
The US Women's National Team knocked off Mexico 4-0 in their final match of the group stage of
Olympic qualifying to win Group B. Carli Lloyd had a hat trick and Heather O'Reilly added a goal as
the USWNT rolled to an easy victory. They will face Costa Rica for a chance to qualify on Friday
(8pm, concacaf.
As if going 14-0 in a single match during qualifying wasn't enough, you had to go out and drop 13
on Guatemala? Somewhere, MC Hammer is screaming about copyright infringment.LeRoux got a natural
hat-trick (3 goals in the same half, all uninterrupted)... actually, she got four before someone
else found the net.
