Should have tossed the hot Norwegian striker for a second yellow, and 14 probably should have been yellow not red. And that’s just in the last 10 minutes
Agree on the second yellow. But the red on 14 was correct imo. Well... Not obviously clearly correct but it was a tweener enough and the foul was immediate and deliberate enough that I don't have any problem with it. The complaints about where the ball was is kinda like the old, " my pass interference was so good the ball was uncatchable."

I don't know if US Women will win this because it seems like Spain might sneak a second goal and be able to defend for the remainder.

Naeher looks really shaky in goal (especially on the ball). Kinda slow reacting at times.

Lavelle is the most-dangerous player on the field. She needs the ball constantly. Good things seem to happen when she leads the attack/counter.

Morgan seems to disappear in games. I don't see that with other strikers such as Le Sommer or even Popp. I don't know if Morgan has shot through 60 minutes.

Rose Lavelle is so dangerous though..

Told ya. Good things happen when she's on the ball (at least for this version of USWNT).

Wish Spain would pull a Cameroon and threaten to walk off.

I kept picturing that scene from "Animal House" during the Cameroon game Sunday ("We're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America...").

This Japan-Netherlands match is so much more enjoyable than the garbage yesterday. Nothing dirty, no whining to the official, just good football.

Also, Danielle van de Donk > Alex Morgan.
