Women's World Cup at 7:00 ET
The top two squads, USA - Germany, go at it in semi-finals. Hope Solo has to be her stellar self for the USA to win this match. Germany's keeper is no slouch but reminds me of Frau Blucher.
Feel free to discuss your favorite Mel Brooks characters if you don't know or care about the USWMT.
Wow - that's a lot of blood already on that German girl's head
Both players still down. Shame for Brian, she had been busting up attacks left and right.
Good to see them back on the field.
Wow. Amazed our girl returned so quickly.
So, what, about 8 minutes stoppage time so far?
Yellow for (Maier from) Germany!

Wow, Johnston!
Keep those corners coming!
Johnston is my favorite player now - she's a beast. I love how the US is pulling defenders up constantly.
If we don't score this half before Germany can regroup, we'll probably regret it.
Though this is by far the best we've played this tournament. Maybe just waiting for the big occasion.
Shitty backpass.
Sauerbrunn lucky she didn't ejected. Almost cleats up there
That was a clear yellow, but had we still been playing Colombia, that girl would have acted like her leg would need to be amputated.
Last few minutes? There's still a good 10 minutes left in this half, given stoppage time.
Dammit. That's four golden opportunities.
Good God, Alex - anything but whatever that was probably would have been a goal (nice touch though to get to that point)
Honeslty, and I know she's probably not 100% in form, but Morgan has always been overrated for me. I don't think she'd have near the positive hype if she played for England or Sweden or a team like that. She's had a couple clutch goals in her career but I've just never been impressed with her from an individual skill point of view.
4 minutes of stoppage time? That's quite a bit light. The girls were down between 24:00 and 32:00.
That is clearly a yellow card on Popp - wtf
That should have been a yellow to Germany there.
Holy shit! No card for that?!
I guarantee Wambach will replace Morgan in this game.

Nice takedown by the German defender. /s
Great half for the rest of the team.

Eh, we're just as grabby but we're just not seeing it as much because we've had the ball more.
