With the way Japan has been playing I would have been shocked if they didn't score at least 1 goal. Let's see if the US can hold on or possibly put another one in the net.

I just don't feel positive at the moment. I would love to see some great possession out of the US for the next 12 minutes.

Terrible terrible giveaway from Rampone. Solo makes another brilliant save to preserve the lead.

Japan subs on another forward. Expect some exciting soccer the last few minutes.

As big of fan favorites as Solo, Wambach and Alex Morgan are.

I think my favorite players to watch are Rapinoe and Tobin Heath. Both play so well technically.

Eh, wasn't really funny in the other thread.

I do respect that Japanese team. I mentioned it earlier, but they seemed to fall down less than any other international soccer team (men's or women's). They don't dive. Great game by both teams.
