Bassett and the team did not deserve that. They were all playing so hard. Kudos to England for a well played match.

Can you imagine their locker room afterwards?

I'm really looking forward to the final, too. That should be quite a match

It'll be a trivial pursuit question someday, guaranteed.

It's OK. It makes up for the dive that got called a penalty kick earlier in the game.

promise to watch the game (it's on now), because of that self-defeating goal made by England....

Also, because Biden and Jill are there tonight. President Obama made a brief good luck statement (taped I think) to the US players...

Score is 4-l going into the 2nd half. Japan finally got a goal. I never watched a soccer game before. It's pretty exciting. Our team is doing very well - US Womens hasn't won the cup for ages and ages. Good chance tonight.

Maybe Biden is good luck....
