That's the good news. The bad news is this team is not looking like a team on a path to win it all. Maybe Coach Ellis is playing a game of poker, and is showing a poker face. But, I doubt it. We are just not that good right now.
Wambach scored the goal tonite and played 90 mins. Morgan played 65 mins and showed flashes of the great player she is. But, no finish. Defense is carrying the team right now. But, it's only gonna get tougher and we've already seen what can happen when you don't put teams away. Ask France. The refs (all female) have sucked. More missed calls already, than in entire WCs in the past. Means teams are at the mercy of a roll of the dice not knowing when the next asinine call is going to go against you.
We are in the Sweet 16 and now it's win....or go home. Gotta raise our play to another level.
Next game is Saturday with an opponent to be determined.
