looks like the Aussies came to play

taking it to the women's national team early on

1-1 after 25, but we still look vulnerable

The US defense hasn't been that great in about 10 years sadly. Australia is a good team and they are playing like it. Knew they would score eventually.

Rapinoe seems to be the only one with a lot of zip tonight, so far

Gotta figure out how to clear the damn ball and stop getting caught flat footed on D. Seemed to settle down the last 15 minutes and that speedy Aussie De Nanna was limping coming off at half. We need to take it to them fast in the second.

BOOM CHRISTEN PRESS!!!

And the nail from Rapinoe.....great run. pretty dominant this half by the yanks. Good to see.

BIG WIN going into the match against Sweden. D played better in the 2nd half. The whole team did. Not sure I as a huge fan of getting Morgan in the game. Might have saved her for Sweden. But strong finish to this game to go into the match with Sweden and hopefully they can win that and then figure out some way to deal with the Nigerian speed. Sweden didn't impress anyone today I don't think. Nigeria opened a lot of eyes. Australia has a HUGE game against them next. We'll see what happens. Big game for Rapinoe and nice to see Press get her goal. Gonna need them in form going forward. Nice to grab a 2 goal cushion as well.

Also Hope Solo was HUGE today. Controversy suits her it seems.

I liked the Morgan sub. Give her a few minutes to get the rust off her.

Rapinoe was a disruptive force and the woman of the match. Wambach needs to convert those chances. Passing was quite sloppy.
