I absolved my post of seriousness four seconds before the fifth goal, nothing to see here

trying to keep the ball in the corner when you're 3 goals up in injury time = pure, pure savagery. the true heart of this usa team revealed

was kinda boggling at that xxp
5-2 is a scoreline which resonates down the ages and is probably a reasonable summation of the game, in that it followed the pattern of every first-half bloodbath ever

The call of Lloyd's 3rd was something else, sounded like he was going to die

Reasonable damage limitation effort from Japan, after beig 4 down in fifteen minutes, but Jesus, those fifteen minutes...
Can't understand how a team with that sort of experience, full of world cup winners and olympic finalists can possibly freeze like that. Wouldn't be too surprised if it comes out that there was some Ronaldo-in-1998 type clusterfuck prior to the game.

on sunday i went to a national women's soccer league game. it was really fun, plus much better quality than the majority of the world cup games that i caught on tv. Seattle Reign v Portland Thorns, so a derby game. world cup winner megan rapinoe plays for seattle, christine sinclair was up front for portland. $15 a ticket, so economical. a franchise record attendance of over 6000 were there. the crowd contrasted with most men's sporting events you'd go to in that it's mainly women, families, and there's lots of gay couples. nice change from the rowdy-hetero-bro vibe. 3-0 win for Seattle, i managed to miss the final 2 goals waiting to buy kettle-corn :/ but for sure would attend regularly if i lived in a city with a team, maybe they'll expand to vancouver one day.

I've been to a few Chicgo Red Stars games, otm as far as crowd composition, but less ppl overall at their games. Christen Press is a great player, and Julie Johnson in defense is like retroactively awesome bc the games I went to were all pre World Cup.
