Four mad minutes

You have to hand it to the Norge - and we did:

Scoreline - August 6, 2008
Norway: 2
Larsen 2'; Wiik 4'
USA: 0

In four minutes, the USA committed two defensive blunders in front of their own net. The red menace has always capitalized on our generosity - and this US squad has yet to show the ability to bounce back from real trouble.
 
Abby's missing the tournament with a broken leg (thanks to Brasil, of all teams) so the table is set for some serious suckage.

Scoreline - August 9, 2008
USA: 1
Lloyd 27'
Japan: 0 

Oh sure we beat Japan - but hell, so can most JV squads.

The Norge got a second win vs the kiwis, so they're clear to the next round.

We're in about as bad a spot as we can be - We need a win and the red menace can screw us by losing against Japan.

Come Tuesday, we better kick some kiwi butt, or this tournament will be a national disgrace.
