USA Women's Soccer vs. Brazil for Gold!
- Quit bringing up Abby Wambach, this team is obviously more than capable without her
- Hope in GREEN, this pleases me
- Chalupny with the first throw for USA, Tarpley now, A-Rod with a fucked up shot/cross/something
- Rampone and Mitts shut down the offensive run
- Chastain, STFU about Wambach, she's not here. Where is Foudy, I need her commentating!
- Mitts looking focused and raring to go
- Very nice give and go, unfortunately the goalkeeper was at the receiving end
- Looks like Chalupny is marking Marta from Brazil?
- Mitts shuts down the offensive play once again
- Tarpley with the shot, denied
- Hucles gets around two, but the play is shutdown
- Brazil in dangerous territory, Solo scoops it up
- "If that is a friendly, then this is clearly NOT a friendly" - thanks Chastain
