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."
