and I love Marta, that backheel move is an alltime classic. They can show it 100 years from now and fans will be 'Whoa!'

I was at the casino last night and the game was on. I don't have anything to add except there was a girl named:

Shannon Boxx

That made me laugh for some reason.

I love boxx!

Might reread the quote. The girl who was thrown out, was the one that got shoved, not the other way around. It was a ridiculous call.

The Brazilian girl clipped her and the American got the yellow card.

And Hope Solo really let the coach have it in an interview after the game. She was seriously pissed that she was benched only to see the new goalie get lit up.

Jesus H, the things I would do to Hope Solo.

[gisb0rne]

My impression of the first half was that the US was being outplayed by Brazil. Brazil had many more opportunities and actual shots on goal, and looked like they could score at any moment. The US looked like it was struggling and relying on fouls to set up free kicks that didn't materialize.

The US likely would have lost regardless of who was in goal.

[tarheeljks]

probably but they would have likely dodged the own goal

[punkass]

Why exactly was Hope benched ?

[tarheeljks]

b/c of scurry's past success against brazil
