I just caught the BRA-USA and JPN-ITA games right now and goddamn, Brazil completely destroyed USA. The American girls could barely play. London OG quarterfinals aside, this was probably one of their best games since the 2008 OG.
I'm happy for Japan too and I hope they can beat most of the other teams as well! It'd be great to see them in the top 3.
Italian reception remains a mess and Diouf is still a little overrated for me. The other girls couldn't do too much too (except for Costagrande in defense every one in a while).
