I'm about 20 or so rows up from where the Vietnam subs are warming up. Great view of the action in this half. Hi!

I give the first half a grade of M - for “meh”
Second goal should have been disallowed.

Just to brag a little (more), we are staying at the team hotel. Ran into Rapinoe and Sue Bird this morning. And then Doug Emhoff a little while later.

I don't believe he was on any of the matches yesterday, so I was holding out some small hope that maybe he wouldn't be on the coverage team this year. Alas.

Wow-these women are in tremendous shape. And I am not. Is there another sport with better conditioned athletes?

We're on the USA end right now, which is very fun. About 10th row from the corner flag. Is it cold?

USA was sloppy. Sophia Smith is really good. Vietnam’s goalie was excellent. The officiating was awful. Rapinoe played like she retired a month ago.

As much as I'd like to watch England, that 3:30 AM MT start time is about as bad as it gets. I think I'll have to just watch the highlights tomorrow.

Was good weather for playing football, and not bad for watching either. Winters here in Auckland always remind me of Bay Area winters. Thursday night's match felt very cold though...
