How annoying must our USA! USA! Chant be to the rest of the world at this point lol..

How epic is this? Revenge against Japan or a showdown with with de basdards from England... Either would be amazing for different reasons.

Japan is better and I don't trust Ellis to put together a good gameplan two games in a row so I'd rather see them play England.

Me also... Plus I can't see us losing to England, I just can't, and the thought of beating them in a major soccer match like this gives my Scottish-American blood a stiff one.

I hate both England and Japan. Half of me wants revenge for the loss to Japan, half of me wants to tell my pals in the UK to suck a big one.

England on 4th of July weekend would be so poetic.

Serious props to Jill Ellis on fixing the team's formation and getting the players right. Took her awhile but she got it right for when it matters. Thoroughly outplayed Germany for the entire game.

Jill kind of pissed me off with that post-game interview. Yes player execution matters but if you're putting them in a system where they are a player down in midfield, not pressing, and hoofing it long to Abby, the most talented women's team in the world isn't going to look very good. Credit where it's due though, she did it right. it almost seems like she just waited until we played another quality team to break it out. Basically every game up until now:

That was a terrific performance by the girls and they played an amazing game. On to the final!

Yeah, as bad as they were the first 4 games, the last 2 games she got right (even the China game, even if it was lucky, she picked the right players), especially today. Fantastic strategy, and the ladies dominated. Awesome.

we already beat them once.... do we need to rub it in lol.

I guess we beat Japan once too, but that loss last WC still stings.

All praise Julie Johnston, even with one rough spot.

All praise Megan Rapinoe for completely buffooning the German side on her half of the field both offensively and defensively.

All praise Megan Brian for solidifying the midfield and, I think, never making a single error.

All praise Kelly O'Hara for aggressively running through their middle like our other girls haven't.

All praise Becky Sauerbrun for sweeping the doorstep clean with her blonde buddy.


... and Klingenberg for being ten times as tough as she looks; Krieger just the same. Lloyd and Holiday finally getting it right in midfield. Heath and Solo doing what they had to do and doing it well, and our poor maligned "little horse" Alex who in fact terrorized those D-Backs all night, but just can't quite get the last touch correct.

After I get my first two picks [Johnston and Rapinoe] I'm still picking you Alex.

Not a mod so I can speak on this, I'm just a guy getting my bookie on!

and a fine job of getting your bookie on you do.
was actually giving Cac a little ribbing. I don't think we ever got an answer on the redirect and banner Q.

Before today's game I thought she'd hit a rough spot and needed to sit also, way too selfish and wasteful... She Dominated with a Dallas sized D today tho...
