Whatever. Men’s team has gotten better. They came on fire in the second half and scored two goals in six minutes.

Now let’s see how the girls do against Sweden in the World Cup on Thursday.

Jury still out on the men's team given the level of competition.

The women will face their first real test against Sweden. Promises to be a low scoring defensive game. I wonder if a loss would be better given the brackets. Facing the French in Paris in the quarters could make for a short tournament.

A win or tie against Sweden puts the US against Spain in the round of 16. A loss puts them against Canada or the Netherlands.
