Nice comeback, but the defense looked shaky. France is a good team and that was part of it, but I’m less confident than I was this time yesterday.

I was stunned 2-0, especially that they scored from distance. Talk about distance though... I snapped out of it when Solo sent the ball all the way to Morgan to score.

Luckily Rapinoe was all over the place. Next is Colombia which should be nice.

Rapinoe was AWESOME!! I too was stunned at the 2-0 score. Funny thing is I was watching the game with a 93 year old retired 3 star general. He was surprised at how hard the women could kick the ball, lol. HE WAS SHOCKED at the 4 letter word that came out of mouth when France scored their second goal. First soccer game he has ever watched and he enjoyed it. Glad Team USA turned it around.
