France is giving them all they can handle. They are good passers and have had several chances to score, but Hope Solo has been up to the task for the US, catching everything coming her way.

Title: Re: Women's WC soccer - USA vs France Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on July 13, 2011, 11:59:54 AM Yet another reason to root against the frogs.... Frogs? Frog (Canada, UK and US) A French person. Prior to 19th century, referred to the Dutch (as they were stereotyped as being marsh-dwellers). When France became Britain's main enemy, replacing the Dutch, the epithet transferred to them,[71][72] due to the French recipe for eating frogs' legs (see comparable French term Rosbif). Also used in Canada to refer to both the French and French Canadians, and occasionally incorrectly as more broadly to people from Quebec who are not, in fact, necessarily French or French speaking.[73] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs Title: Re: Women's WC soccer - USA vs France Post by: 2Stater on July 13, 2011, 12:03:43 PM Yet another reason to root against the frogs....

#+ Thanks for the updates. Title: Re: Women's WC soccer - USA vs France Post by: 2Stater on July 13, 2011, 12:50:06 PM This will not have been an easy win for the US. They scored their 1st goal in the 9th minute and did not have another shot on goal until their 2nd around the 65th minute. France, on the other hand had several shots on goal. When they finally scored, it appeared they had control. But, as the US did against Brazil, they got after it and really took it to them.
