Ok I was typing this as Rapinoe put the 2nd one in.

FUUUUUUUUCK this announcer. I know he's rooting for an interesting match more than one side or the other, but the last match and now the last few minutes of this one have him sounding like a bad community college homer.

Oh here's a surprise......the French women who booted it straight oob are calling for the throw in.

Great job my Morgan and Press late, killing clock earning throws and fouls.

Not exactly a world cup winning performance but they got it done on the scoreboard. Semi finals!!

England looms next on the tour of Europe. Not easy at all.

Have a quick trip home.

My favorite was him talking about how France having never gotten past the round of 8.....and then referring to them as "mighty" France.

Like they are the ones who have won 10 straight matches in the WC.

The lady right after the final whistle: "To be the best, you have to beat the best.....and that's what the US did tonight."

Uhhhhhh sure

Megan Rapinoe is the hero this country needs.

Stoppage time was a nice 12 play, 4th quarter drive to ice it.

I have never seen a soccer team run out the clock so effectively.

Soccer may be the only sport where the ladies version is more watchable than the men's.


(That - and any sport involving tight unis, and of course beach volleyball.)

And I wouldn’t say any of it was excessive time wasting. If anything there were a couple throw-ins where I thought they should have dared the ref to get involved. Just good smashmouth football earning first downs.

Anyway, we’re on to England
