is not that good. They got beat in there game today. The lady who complained about not starting in the World Cup (Hope Solo) gave up 2 goals. We got beat 2-0. Nice way to start out the Olympics.

Norway is a very good soccer team. The US wasn't ready in the first 5 minutes and it cost them.

Norway should get a medal if not close.

second goal wasn't the keepers fault.

Isn't Wambach hurt? That would explain alot...

Plus they just lost Abby Wambach not too long ago to a broken leg. They likely have to adjust how they play due to that. It could take a while.

Is she like this years version of Mia Hamm. For the record Mia Hamm is the only womens soccer player I have ever known. I used to know the name of the chick who whipped her shirt off after scoring a goal. I forgot her name though.

This was a warmup game correct? Not an actual olympic event?

From what I read we're not expected to finish any higher than 3rd behind Brazil and Germany.

I am thinking her name was Brandi Chastaine, but not positive. Only name I know for sure is Mia Hamm as well.

GO NOMAAAAR

No, but Wambach was one of the better offensive players on the team, I think.

Brandi Chastain, BTW.

I really hope that is not the case ....

The Official Site of U.S. Soccer and the U.S. Men's and Women's National Teams (Home) .. your questions will be answered.

the game was NOT a warm up.

we dominated the rest of the game.. even with them 'focusing' on defense for 86 minutes.

Statistical Summary: USA / NOR
Shots: 20 / 12
Shots on Goal: 11 / 6
Saves: 6 / 8
Corner Kicks: 4 / 1
Fouls: 12 / 11
Offside: 2 / 3

looks like this is a good wake up call

Group G
Team W L T Pts GF GA GD
NOR 1 0 0 3 2 0 +2
NZL 0 0 1 1 2 2 0
JPN 0 0 1 1 2 2 0
USA 0 1 0 0 0 2 -2

we HAVE to WIN the next two games. Nothing is over as it only matters that you get out of the Group play
