Huh. I typed in "USA Soccer" and Google gave me nothing except links to the men's team.

Nigeria on a red card after a really bad challenge. The ref initially ruled it a yellow, but it was pretty obvious on VAR.

Canada and Nigeria end in a scoreless draw. Good result for Nigeria. Disappointing for Canada.

Canada created some chances but just seemed to freeze up once they had an opening and run straight into the defenders.
Nigeria very nearly got a late goal to steal that one.

Kind of a shocking miss, considering it was Christine Sinclair taking it. Granted, she is 40. 40 is also Nigeria’s FIFA ranking, Canada is number 7. Yes, but that ranking is also largely thanks to a now 40-year-old.

Philippines vs. Switzerland is underway with Spain and Costa Rica on later. I kind of like this schedule. At least where I am, I can watch three matches between 8:30 PM and 3:30 AM. I have a fairly lengthy article that I have to finish writing tonight, so this is good to have on in the background.
Edit: Looking at the schedule for future days, it's not quite as good as it is for tonight (e.g. 3:30 AM matches). Oh well.

I can’t wait to see the local crowd’s reaction when Spain takes the pitch.

I wanted to cheer for The Philippines, but I simply cannot support a 5 Back formation.

Switzerland up 1-0 on an unsavable penalty.

Judging by the comments on Reddit, I'd say like 80% think that penalty shouldn't have been given.

Switzerland now up 2-0. Two great point blank saves by the keeper for the Philippines, but no one else there to help clear the ball and the third shot finally makes it past her.

Switzerland wins 2-0. I'm interested in seeing how one of the top European teams looks when Spain plays Costa Rica here in a bit.
