rapinoe's set pieces and passes are world class, how amazing

[firdausgoalie]

No. 15's pin-point passing is superb. Reminds me of Pirlo

[tomparatube]

Problems for the USWNT's opponents usually start with Rapinoe's initiated set pieces or corner kicks. If you look carefully at the way she kicks the ball, she hits it in a way that spins it more along the Y axis but not the X axis, so that the ball curves outwards from the goalie but has very little spin. Her foot doesn't travel all the way, but sort of bounces back right after hitting the ball as though she wants to pull the ball back. Tons of technical mastery behind that corner kick. Bravo Rapinoe!

the Nigerian goalkeeper did amazing.

was really rooting for nigeria :( my parents are from there

[EDeeire]

USA needs to play 4-3-3 and trust their midfield. With Morgan, Wambach, and Leroux up top, they would keep the pressure up top and gain more offensive ball possession. ( with Press or A-Rod as sub waiting on )

[rtlstien]

Way to go USA!  You might not have gotten the amount of goals you were aiming for in this game, but as a whole you've improved since the first game.  Keep it up in the knock out rounds!

This Nigerian team of 2015 is far better than the one that came for this year world cup

[johnabraham]

The lines women were terrible! Julie Johnston's goal was not offside. There were at least 3 big goal opportunities that were not offside.

[uswntvids]

A- Awesome
B- Beast
B- Best Player
Y- Y did you retire?

In soccer, there are terms known as ball-to-hand and hand-to-ball. If an opposing player kicked the ball and ball touched the hands of an opponent accidentally then there would not be a penalty involved if the incident occurred inside the 18 yard box because it was not an intentional handling on the ball.

SORRY Mr Edwin Okon (Nigeria’s Head Coach), PLEASE, do not vent your frustration with Ms Jill Ellis. Pinoe’s kicked the corner with a left bend and your Nigerian defender (#22) missed the header to clear it, while Abby scored a great goal. She is the same defender who had been yellow-carded after fouling Tobin. One minute later, your defender goes to the locker room and, SURPRISE, she is not replaced coming to the 2nd half. She later fouled Syd to the red card. Nigeria’s team has a great future ahead and was a great competitor, BUT PLEASE, be courteous.

USA should've had a handball here. Nigeria with a few good chances. USA should've capitalized on more set pieces (18 total and scored on 1) but overall created chances. Half the good chances weren't offsides.

[reymelitolentino]

I think I have wat he'd every vid that the US was in and they won all of them this years world cup is ours #livingthatamericanlife

[jorgeponce]

Colombian player #6 (Daniela Montoya) is the serial, non-defensive handballer of this WWC. Check the FIFA Highlights videos of the games Colombia vs
- Mexico, minute 0.50
- England, minute 0.24
The most outrageous handballing was vs France, though the FIFA Highlight video did not include it. 
So far she has not even seen a yellow card.

One thing I learnt about Women's football...they love to chip the goalkeepers

Lady Ambragger - Game on tomorrow at 8 pm ET

[chikowashere]

Good win, should've scored more. Nigeria could've drawn easily.

Can I watch full games of the Fifa games somewhere?

FIFA should work diligently on their referees. Some of these referees are cowards and can not withstand the crowd and fans shouting on their head. A good FIFA referee doesn't favor any team regardless of the country. There are whole lot of bad officiating in favor of USA in this WWC, probably because of their majority fans booing on referees which is normal but doesn't have to distract any competent referees focus and attention during big games like WWC.
