My Boys took it to the other team this weekend with a 6 - 0 shellacking of our opponents. Prince Tilam scored on a really nice direct kick from way outside the box...bent it into the far corner. Our last goal was a hard pass to the goalie (after 5 up, we stop shooting) who ran to kick the ball..and whiffed. Ouch. Not a way to score. So, after 4 games we have had 11 goals scored by 5 different players. (But then again, I was never worried about our offensive breadth.)
Now for the tough part of the season.
So the US WNT beat Norway 4 - 1. Hope Solo was not part of the team. According to Kristine Lilly, it was a team decision, so you wonder what the future holds for Solo and whether she can be part of it going forward. I suspect she will as the old guard (who was probably more taken aback by the comments) leaves. That said while I certainly agree with the sentiment of Solo's comments, she really threw Scurry (who has lived and breathed US Soccer for years) under the bus and that can't sit well with anyone on the team. She may have also given coach Greg Ryan a reprieve, if US Soccer chooses to "rally" around the coach. And that would be too bad, because that decision was such a bone-headed move, he should be let go.
In other news, Brazil lost to Germany 2 - 0. It seems the US game took the wind out of them.
