A little worried that none of these chances have been converted.

Alex Morgan with an almost instant contribution. Again unlucky for the US.

Got lucky on that through ball. The Japan girl beat the offside trap.

Nice strike!

[Magnetic Curses]

wow, what a shot

[shnsajax]

Great shot. She is going to get another counter chance soon with Japan throwing people forward.

[Mark Priors Calves]

terrible mess in front of the net.

"Japs" and "Pearl Harbor" are trending on Twitter in the U.S. I hate Americans sometimes.

Watching anything that has to do with the USA is now anti-American.

alex morgan is a [expletive] fox and a half.

[Magnetic Curses]

wow, that's ridiculous

[Mark Priors Calves]

GOAL, GOAL, USA.

Julie Foudy is apparently terrible at math.

 

Also, what the [expletive] was Rapinoe thinking? Your teammate is going to clear the ball away from the goal and you try to kick it across the face of goal? Not one of her better decisions.

[Mark Priors Calves]

unbelievable.

[Mark Priors Calves]

that was a sitter

How was that not a corner? The center ref even pointed that way.

Hope Solo's knee is ok (horrible pun)

[Magnetic Curses]

i guess they thought the ball blocked itself

 

looked like it could have been a handball too

Totally agree. I watched the replay on my dvr and I still can't figure it out. My wife thought it might have bounced back off of 17 before going out, but I'm not so sure.

Terrible PK from Boxx. Went to one side but only kicked it a couple feet off center and it was a couple feet off the ground. Nothing good about that one.

 

And now Lloyd shanks hers also.

 

EDIT: 3-for-3 on terrible PKs for the US.

So, we're totally fucked now, eh?

[Mark Priors Calves]

Terrible penalty taking.

[Guest]

Hey, maybe putting every PK in the center third of the goal isn't a good idea.
