US Women Down Japan 1-0
It was nerve racking at times, similar to the men’s match vs. Japan, but when it was over, the US women breathed a great sigh of relief. The ladies needed a win to be in good position to advance to the knockout round, and they got the necessary three points.
A 27th minute goal by Carli Lloyd was enough to see the Americans to a 1-0 victory, but it wasn’t a dominant performance. A lack of finishing ability left the USA in the lead, but Japan easily could have won the game.
The US women now are in good position to advance with a win or a tie in their next match against New Zealand.
What do you guys think of our ladies winning? Did anybody get up early and watch? Any thoughts go below.
