Stupid controversy about the goalkeeping fact is Brazil just outplayed the US.

Wow how does that first player she fakes out with that reverse pass to herself give up on the play? If she hustled and sprinted instead of giving up and slowing down she might've caught her on the second fake.

It may not have mattered, but switching goalies seemed like a huge miscalculation. Hope Solo had just pitched three straight shutouts and the team was rolling.

My understanding is that the coach felt that Scurry's experience against the Brazilians along with her athleticism made her a better choice for this game than Solo. IMHO it sends a negative message to the team and throws things out of whack- similar to the NBA playoffs this year when Avery Johnson shuffled his starting lineup against the Warriors for Game 1.

Exactly! That's just bad defense. Maybe down 3-0 and a player short as well after Boxx got (soooo wrongfully) ejected there was a letdown.

[/ QUOTE ]No it was someone else who came close to catching her on the second fake. Hard to see from the video.
