The tournament has been terrific so far. I was disappointed when Australia lost their first match against Spain, but they made amends today, beating Brazil 3-2.
Another women's football fan. Love the enthusiasm and professionalism - the get up and get on with it attitude.
I think the women's matches have demonstrated a very high entertainment value. They should be paid more.
For anyone who watched the game, when Rapinoe kicked the penalty goal, why did it look like the goalie didn't make an effort to stop it? I've seen several reruns of the goal and it looks like it went right past the goalie. Usually when a goalie misses it's clear they couldn't get to it.
It's a shame they don't have multiple camera angles.
She was wrong-footed, which made her look like she was rooted to the spot. I used to be a goalie and it happened to me more times than I care to remember! You commit to moving to one side, but before you dive, you realise your mistake, try to correct and look like you didn't move.
I though Holland put up a good fight, particularly in the first half, but while they are good defensively, they are pretty hopeless in attack. The best team in the tournament - by far - won. Well done USA.

The announcer said this (I think) in different words. Rapinoe faked out the goalie by making it look like she was going to kick to the goalie's right, the goalie fell for it, and Rapinoe changed it up at the last millisecond.
