Our other Championship team

The u20's are now in Temuco getting ready for tomorrow's game against china that will determine their seed in the knockout round.

They apparently are unscathed from Vulcan's restlessness.

Here's a picture of the stadium they will be playing in from the YNT blog.

Looks first class. nice canopy (alas, no drop down tv's, though there appears to be a big screen)

Is that Elli's hair on the left in the picture?

Geez have you been taking picture posting lessons from Stoney??

Hey now... that hurts, DTR. That really hurts.

It's not very often you can take out 2 birds with one stone... I couldn't resist...

ouch, that really hurts!

Matchtracker lists Enyeart and Winters as starters today, but not Reed.

I notice that Elli will miss the next match if she gets carded in this game. What is the rule for this? How many yellows are you allowed in group play?

Injury to Dallstream in 7th minute. Elli enters for her. All three Pilots on the pitch.

Could someone post a link to the Gametracker? Or... I couldn't find it on the US Soccer website.

Thanks!

There's a green box on the right that says Matchtracker.

Click on it.

Ah... thankee, Killick.

Scoreless at halftime. From the commentary, China has had the better of the action, leading in shots 6-2, though the US has been in the box and gotten threatening opportunities.

It sounds like all three Pilots have been very active, with Enyeart threatening both on the receiving and sending end of passes, Winters being a force in the middle, and Reed working forward from the defense.

I like this comment from the Match Commentary on MatchTracker:

"Enyeart gets the ball on the left and like flies to honey, she is
immediately surrounded by three Chinese defenders."

Tim, Dude!

doesn't that hurt?

nice pick on the quote. I smiled at it, too.

Why can't we get this kind of coverage on NCAA Gametracker???

Bummer n the score....

Funny that that's your reaction, soreknees, fans on BS are always saying how bad it is...

Double bummer!

It's not great, but it's better than the NCAA version because of the commentary. You at least get some sense of how the match is going, rather than just a listing of formal events such as fouls, shots, and corner kicks.

Michelle needs to unleash her inner killer rabbit on the Chinese...

She doesn't even need the Holly Hand Grenade

If necessary...

Well, I SHOULD have known I would start something here...
Run Away!
Run Away!

Why?

Whot's 'e do? Nibble your bum?

China 2, USA Nil

Keelin had a shot, and nice to see all 3 Pilots involved in enough play to get mentioned in the commentary
