Y'know, whenever a player has to be stretchered off the field, and then immediately jumps off the stretcher and literally runs off, it does somewhat damage the credibility, doesn't it? I mean, c'mon...even a 9-year-old who gets thrown out at second base knows enough to at least come up limping!



So often we see tactics like this actually work, but it's poetic justice in this situation that the USA goal was scored during the stoppage time created by Erica. The US coach was right, you couldn't write a better script. What a game!
