My biggest complaint with these new unis is that you can't see the names & numbers since they're silver. Make them blue.

USWNT up 2-1 on Japan at Half. Goals by Alex Morgan (3') & Abby Wambach (10'). Missed opportunity by US/A-Mo. Should be 3-1, but oh well.

US came out blazin' & aggressive but have simmered down since then. Japan is now getting all surgical as usual. I swear if the USWNT loses to Japan for the 3rd time this year, I'm going to go crazy.

Wambach heads it in off a HAO deflected kick in the 91'. US up 4-1 now. They FINALLY beat Japan.

To update this thread:
USWNT is 4-0 on their Victory Tour, playing #2 Germany again tonight in Hartford, Conn after a 1-1 draw at Toyota Park Saturday. On NBC Sports Network.

In other news, their awesome manager Pia Sundhage, went back home to Sweden after serving 5 yrs as the USWNT manager & winning 3 Algarve Cups, 2 Olympic Gold Medals & Runner-up at the 2011 World Cup. Her all-time record as USWNT manager is 91-6-10. Her last game was vs. Australia in Denver on Sep 19. Jill Ellis is serving as the interim manager while the US Soccer Federation searches for Pia's replacement.

Sep 1 vs. Costa Rica (Rochester, NY): 8-0 W (Rapinoe (2), Wambach (2), Morgan, Leroux, Lloyd, O'Reilly)
Sep 16 vs Australia (Los Angeles): 2-1 W (Morgan, Boxx)
Sep 19 vs Australia (Denver): 6-2 W (O'Reilly, Morgan (2), Wambach, Leroux, Boxx)
Oct 20 vs Germany (Chicago): 1-1 T (Wambach)
Oct 23 vs Germany (Hartford): 2-2 T (Wambach, Heath)

Dec 1 vs Ireland (Glendale, AZ):

US Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati announced tonight during halftime that the USWNT will have a new coach within the next 10 days & a new Women's league will be announced within in the same time period. Exciting stuff.
