      USMNT limped by Curacao in the Gold Cup quarters, and will face Jamaica on Wednesday. I though it should have been a 3 or 4 goal game, and they were pretty flat in the second half. Play of the match was a great pass by Pulisic to Weston McKennie for a header goal in the first half.

      Mexico dodged a huge bullet and needed a Memo Ochoa save in penalties to win... they had their hands full against Panama.

        Didn't see the Mexico - Costa Rica game, but did see the highlight of that Ochoa save. Ochoa really is shit though, save notwithstanding.

        US was very flat against Curacao. Pulisic cross to McKennie was fantastic, McKennie would have had to do more to miss than to score there; but other than that, they were pretty pedestrian. Raggea Boyz got by on a pretty soft penalty against Panama and seem to have our number lately, hopefully the men decide to turn up for the semi final.

          There are a few players , not naming names, who have no business in starting 11. The defense not looking coordinated. Fairly obvious we are missing some playmakers in attack. Brooks, Adams, Yedlin and the Ginga Ninja would look better in the lineup. Weah too if he gets more club time

            Apparently two US operations personnel went to England's Team hotel and were given a tour while England were in training. If US makes final they will be staying there so probably just a logistical check. Phil Neville (England Manager) is furious calling it a complete lack of etiquette and British press playing it up as Spygate. What a joke.

              F all the Nevilles, especially Gary. Hope the USWNT continues to make Phil Neville cry and whine.

                Just getting their excuses ready. They saw our hotel, grass too long, referee too short, it was hot. England will whine

                  Neville has already cried about Rapinoe breaking his watch. How will he be able to get to the stadium on time? If Neville fails to show up, that's on Rapinoe.

                    Apparently the operatives were wearing "plain clothes" when they spied upon England teams private areas within the hotel. I guess two logistics people getting a tour from hotel staff should have been wearing badges? Official uniforms? Flashing passports? The British press has always left me laughing when it comes to things like this. US team was either spying or planning ahead which is Arrogant.

                      Birthday girl Alex Morgan scores the winner, but Alyssa Naeher did something that Hope Solo has never done in a World Cup... Save on a penalty!

                      USWNT moves forward.

                        I think it was a pen, the US player interfered with the shot. Still, to be fair to Solo, that was a shit penalty shot. Awful.

                          Agreed on the shot, but England has had a history of taking bad spot kicks, men and women. Two missed by Parris earlier in the tournament as well. Still Naeher reacted correctly on the ball. VAR giveth, but also giveth away.

                          We all know that Solo is probably the best GK, but I'm sick of her crap. Naeher has been taking all the shots from fans and Solo, but has hardly said anything about it, and had her best game when she needed it.

                          For the next match I would rather see the Dutch, vs. the Swedes. Its probably a toss up.
