While both teams already qualified for the London 2012 Olympiad there is a certain amount of
pride at play. For Canada's women this is an opportunity to declare that they deserve to be in that
top tier of teams challenging for Gold or Women's World Cups. With the Great White North hosting
the 2015 Women's World Cup it is matches like this and their second straight 20k+ crowd that
demonstrate that they are a top nation in the women's game.

The Rochester chapter of the American Outlaws (AO) sponsored the first annual Western New
York Soccer Supporters Ball, held at Matt Wambach's infamous Back Nine Grill in Rochester,
New York Saturday evening.

STORY OF THE DAYChris Bascombe of the Telegraph reports that Liverpool forward Luis Suarez has been suspended for 8
games and fined $70K for directing racial slurs at Man United Patrice Evra earlier this season.
There's a lot of things about USA Women's National Team striker Abby Wambach
especially here- that screams "Ellen DeGeneres!" From their wackiness to
similar hairstyles, Abby can easily pass off as Ellen's footballing twin. Yesterday, Abby spoke up
about the Women's World Cup final to Japan en route to this awesome photo shoot she did in
Hollywood, admitting the US Women's team has come a long way from that loss.
I write this from the train, on the return journey that marks the conclusion of my experience with
the 2011 Women's World Cup. There are sleeping Japanese fans scattered the cars – I can imagine
they went directly from their celebrations to the station.
The USWNT players are flying home.

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.
It all comes down to Sunday. We've all heard it before (many, many times).

The US women are in the World Cup final for the first time since 1999. Many wondered if they
would have a letdown in their semifinal match against France following an emotional quarterfinal
win over Brazil.

A jubilant Wambach celebrates her goal as the US live to finally win
Even the most cursory of followers would not have failed to be gripped by the epic unfolding
yesterday. As the end of extra time approached the USA was in mortal danger of failing to advance
past the quarterfinals for the first time leaving Brazil with their first taste of victory in the
World Cup over their rivals.
Of all the things that impressed and elated me about the play of the U.S. team yesterday against
Brazil, one might come as a bit of a surprise. It was this: during the waning minutes of the game,
before Rapinoe's cross and Wambach's brilliant header, at least two players did their best to draw
penalty kick calls against Brazil.
The USA-Brazil Women's World Cup quarterfinal match fit all of the archetypes of the American
story: never giving up despite multiple adverse situations, last-minute dramatics, lots of heroes,
and someone named Hope. I felt that Brazil would be the favored team yesterday, and perhaps they
would have won had that early own-goal not occurred.
It's big time for the ladies in just a few hours.
Big effort needed from this US lady--Shannon Boxx--today...
Their own private Ghana you might say, with the exception that the US comes up big against
Brazil while the men wilt against their nemesis.
Here's the US starting line-up.

The USA celebrated Independence Day (July 4th) weekend with a USWNT defeat over a young
Colombian side. This was the first ever meeting of the two nations in history of women's soccer.
An early 12′ goal, an upper-v beauty, by Heather O'Reilly set the tone for the match. The USA
entered the halftime break dominant but with only a one goal lead.
USA lineup - Solo; Krieger, Rampone, Buehler, LePeilbet; O'Reilly, Lloyd, Lindsey, Cheney;

Apologies for no preview here; review coming though.
Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan and the US ladies take on Colombia today in Game 2 in the Group of
Bedoya don't ask in Germany.
In perhaps the most entertaining of the first six matches of the Women's World Cup, the USA picked
up a huge win over North Korea today by a 2-0 score as Women's World Cup debutantes Lauren Cheney
and Rachel Buehler scored in the second half. Amazingly, and due to the increased competitiveness
of the women's game, the USA's win was the first by multiple goals thus far.
Predictions? Give them in the comments. This has been a low-scoring World Cup so far - 2-0 USA is
my guess, and I think I'm being generous with the scoreline. To the USA, that is.
Lineups: USA - Solo; Le Peilbet, Buehler, Rampone, Krieger; Cheney, Boxx, Lloyd, O'Reilly;
Rodriguez, Wambach
North Korea - Hong; Jong, Ri Un Hyang, Ho, Song; Ri Ye Gyong, Jo, Jon, Kim; Yun, Ra
I like Rapinoe's skill on the ball, but Cheney offers more of a finishing threat, so I'd guess
Sundhage's move is to try to put more scoring punch into the lineup.
Here is a look at the USA's official team photo that the squad took a few days ago here in Austria
(as you can see by the scenic background). This might make a cool wallpaper on someone's lap top.
There will be a video of team photo day up on ussoccer.com shortly, so please look for it.

The U.S. WNT is back together for its final domestic game and game before leaving for the 2011
FIFA Women's World Cup. Yes, the tournament is so close, you can feel it. The team is training in
New Jersey in preparation for meeting Mexico this Sunday at Red Bull Arena (2 p.m. ET on ESPN2) and
had its first session yesterday afternoon in the sticky heat of the impending NJ summer.
(via U.S. Soccer)
CHICAGO (Jan. 13, 2011) – U.S. Women's National Team head coach Pia Sundhage has named 23
players to the roster for the 2011 Four Nations Tournament taking place in Chongqing, China, where
the USA will face Sweden, Canada and the host.
With the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup commencing in late June, the tournament will be a key part
of Sundhage's crafting of the eventual Women's World Cup roster as the USA takes on three strong
nations, including Sweden, which is the USA's third Group C opponent at the Women's World Cup in
Germany.
