World Be Warned

16 January 2008

tags: solo, tarpley, usa, wambach, wnt
What's up football fanatics? Well, the U.S. Women’s National Team opened up the 2008 Four Nations Tournament in Guangzhou, China with a 4-0 drubbing of Canada. Now, that's what we're talking about. New head coach, Pia Sundhage wasted little time in securing her first W, as the U.S. hammered in four goals in a 28-minute span during the second half.

The U.S. team has now announced their intentions to the world – relentless dominance.

Lindsey Tarpley stamped her authority all over the match in the second half, and put the game beyond reach with two stunning strikes that proved her lethal ability as an attacking midfielder. Abby Wambach was menacing all game long, as well, as she constantly threatened Canada’s defense, which opened up acres of space for her teammates. And, a rock-solid defense, anchored by Hope Solo in goal, was rarely troubled throughout.

The convincing win on Chinese soil is the perfect start to their campaign for gold in Beijing, and puts painful memories of last year’s World Cup behind them. Now the ladies turn their attention to their next match against Finland, which will take place on Friday, January 18. And, you just know this impressive win gives the team loads of confidence. We can't wait to see what they're going to do next.

The U.S. team has now announced their intentions to the world – relentless dominance. Consider yourself warned.
