Team USA! :D
I’m just watching a South American tournament game right now. One team scored in only 11 seconds after the game kicked off. You don’t see that every day. Haha.
Which one? I hadn't seen that.

Excellent posts, thank you KC_Lion!
Go USA! .)
England's defence of their SheBelieves Cup title got off to a disappointing start as two quick second-half goals condemned them to defeat against world champions the United States in Orlando.It was a sixth defeat in nine games for Phil Neville's side, who have struggled for form since losing to the USA in the World Cup semi-finals.
Christen Press's superb long-range curler put the hosts ahead shortly after half-time and Carli Lloyd made it 2-0 two minutes later.
... Former England defender Alex Scott, speaking on BBC Two:
I am trying to find positives from this game but we are not in the same bracket as the USA, we are below.... Former England forward Lianne Sanderson, speaking on BBC Two:
I feel we have taken massive steps forward before but I think we have gone backwards. It looked like it could have been four or five.
Thank You :)
