Men's volleyball vs Germany right now. These guys are mashing the ball from 11 1/2 feet. Germany has a few Ivan Drago's.

US getting some good looks early.

Rapinoe going to kick the 3rd corner of the game only 5 minutes in.

N. Korea player receives a 2nd yellow card then a red for 1st female ejection of the tournament. Good opportunity for US to go up 2-0 here on the free kick.

Free kick didn't come to a goal, but being a man up for the last 8 or so minutes should take some of the pressure off.

Well second half was really uneventful. Once they got to about the 70th minute team USA started to really work on their possession soccer. They still tried for some goal opportunities, some came close. But mainly they worked on possession.

1-0 victory for USA over N. Korea.

USA is their group winner with 9 points. Now on to the quarterfinals.
