Brianna Scurry or Hope Solo at goal ?  It would not have mattered as there was too much Marta!!  Enough said.  Marta was head-and-shoulders better than anyone on the pitch and she put on a show.    Too much Marta, down to 10 players in the 1st-half on a questionable call…  The End.

Coach Greg Ryan was either going to be a hero for making a great decison if the USA had won or the scapegoat if they lose which is what happened  I give him credit for making a bold decision and going with your gut even thought the decision was not popular.  Hope Solo was playing pretty well after the first match in the pouring rain against North Korea and Scurry hadn’t played a full match in 3 months.   Unfortunately, everyone will blame Ryan for the loss because of the decision instead of the terrible play of his team on the pitch as they all looked terrible!   Marta’s 79th minute goal was incredible and clearly the USA defender does not belong on this team when you get faked out that badly.      That is the real reason why the USA lost.

Anyways, good luck USA in 4 years.
