Thanks. I am setting my Tivo for Comcast NBC Sports. Will watch later today. Could be a very big game for both teams.

The game is suppose to start at noon but coverage starts on 11:30 am, according to my guide.

Keep your eye on Alex Morgan...the lady from UC Berkeley is fantastic!

 

[calpedaler]

Alex is definitely a game changer with her speed.

I can't tell you how frustrating it was when they kept bringing her off the bench in the second half and she'd immediately shift the game momentum...start the woman already!

The women's team is slow to change. Remember how long Foudy hung on? Way past her due date. Still can't figure out how Buehler is starting over Sauerbrunn.

But should be a good game today, if they can get a result from today, it should be smooth sailing into the quarters.

Shades of 2008. Bad start for the U.S.
