The Yanks versus the Brits for a shot at the title. It's still win today or go home w/o excuses.

The Chess head-games are underway. The Brits have probably been scheming a hundred ways to neutralize Megan Rapinoe who's hugely responsible for the USA's last four goals and last two wins. USA's counter, you ask?

Simply start Christen Press on the left wing and sit Rapinoe for sub-in duty or to sit out a suspension for the drama/chaos she creates off the field or to nurse an unannounced injury...take your pick!

Press picked up right where Rapinoe left off! Good call, coach.

England evened the score and Alex Morgan just drove a header into the net on the fly.

2 -1 USA in the 35th min.

Great stop by keeper on the pk. You need those to win a Cup.

So right!

Alex Morgan got the winning goal on her 30th birthday and Alyssa Naeher got the dramatic save on the PK awarded to England. Can't forget Christen Press who stepped up in Rapino's absence and blasted in a header in the 17th min. to put the USA up early. Oh yeah, Rose Lavelle's slick move of the match!

On to the World Cup finals...three straight times in the finals for the Good Gals.
