almost forgot, why the heck did us soccer have such a huge score graphic? a fifth of the stream just vanished, so everybody could see that us and china played?...didn't everybody already knew that...and what's with the 80's look, it looked awful, but i guess it's better then no stream at all...

well, much better second half by the us, and they win pretty easily...the chinese stamina seems to have run out.,cheney and rapinoe were the best players in the second half, and maybe the game...usa will have too play better if they intend to play for gold in the olympics...but they somehow play better or more even with better teams. they play ok against low ranked teams, and teams high on the rankings, but have some issues with the teams in between..although they seem to win those games also, but not convincingly.

how utterly undeserving the us are to lead this in halftime...i thought the chinese looked sharper...first chance the us had, shoudn't have happend since o'reilly came from an offside position...the us defense looked very shaky, including rampone...but the us are subscribers to luck, and somehow leads the game after halftime...both teams have some sloppy passes from time to time, but the us have more in the defense, which isn't to comfortable for pia i guess..
