USA-Sweden Women's World Cup on ESPN now. Winner wins the group and draws Aussies in knockout round. Loser gets tough Brasil bunch
Not a good start already down 2-nil.
Laid an egg and now draw Brasil. Not at all what we wanted no doubt
Not what Brazil wanted either, it would have been easier if they had won, but this isn't like the USA/Brazil matchup in mens...they're the real deal, best team in the world. Playing the Aussies would have been a lot easier, but they're still the favorite and should win. Really hope to see them take on Germany in the finals.
You would have thought by being upset by Sweden already this year that the USA would have came out ready to go. Very letdown by the effort today
It didn't really look like an effort problem to me. Maybe not as focused as needed but deflected goals off US players giving Sweden a goal, a penalty kick a few minutes into the match, missed wide-open goals, easy goals bouncing off the post. Seemed more like a case of catching the shat end of the stick instead of an effort problem.
Looks like the US women will be out of the WWC next round.
I think they will handle Brazil. 3-0 is my prediction.
Hasn't the US won the last 4 matches against Brazil?
Its actually 5 times, but they haven't played each other since 2008.Quote:
