Last game Ali Krieger really caught my eye for obvious reasons. This team has quite a few babes.

She is easily identifiable by her concussion headband in games.

These are fun games. The only thing not fun is the annoying U.S. announcers. They are so smug and full of themselves. Like as soon the U.S. scores, the next smug remark is "the U.S. needs to not let up and score MOAR GOALS!!!!!" No crap, the team ain't going to stop plyaing now. Stupid, just shut up and call the damn game.
The Brits do it best. Loved them calling the USMNT games during their WC run. I love it when announcers really get into games and are more like fans than anything.
That was a boring game. The team needs more Julie Johnstons though.
I wouldn't be upset if Alex Morgan sat out the final. Also the commentators are driving me bonkers. Any time Morgan missed a shot that she should have passed instead the commentator would mention her injury and how a healthy Alex Morgan could have scored from any angle. If she would have passed the ball from time to time the US may have been up by more.
hah. Yea. Despite what prolly shoulda been a red card last night, she played a fantastic game.
Dude...she missed like 8 months or w/e it was. Skillz go down the drain with that much time off. She actually looked a lot better last night than the games prior because she wasn't over thinking too much. She was one touch shooting.
I think she's about there between when to shoot and when to pass. And, I have seen her make those shots before in the WC and Olympics.
Besides, what she does do, if anything, is draw lots of attention from opposing teams which opens up things for the other players.
That said, Lloyd has been our best offensive player this entire WC I think.
I understand that, I appreciate that she is getting in position to make plays but am frustrated she's not putting it in the net. She's doing everything but finishing right now. I'm no coach but perhaps she might be a good first sub in, if she's not in 100% soccer shape yet.
Hopefully it comes together Sunday and those opportunities are blown but finished and they make it rain on Japan or England.hah. Sans Lloyd, pretty much the entire team is having issues finishing. Though O'Hara had a beauty of a finish on the setup from Lloyd.
