2011 FIFA Women's World Cup Team USA Watch-It's The Knockout Round

It's the quarterfinals of the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup tournament, and to borrow the words of the NBA playoff commercials, from now on it's win or go home.

And Team USA couldn't have a tougher assignment for their quarterfinal match than playing a Marta-led Brazil team that is tired of being title bridesmaids to the US.  And oh yeah, there that little matter that everyone keeps reminding you of concerning the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup semis in China in which Brazil pasted an embarrassing 4-0 thumping on Team USA

Well, just as Team USA probably didn't want to be in Dresden facing Brazil this early, you have to look at the flip side of this as Brazil didn't want to play us this early either.   We also don't get the Germans until the final assuming they don't get upset between now and July 17.  

And hopefully ladies, you got that bad game out of your system.

At any rate, it's time to handle your football business.  You're close to your goal of winning our third FIFA world title and first since that magical 1999 year on home soil.  Winner gets to play the France-England winner in the semifinals in Moenchengladbach and get one step closer to the July 17 championship match in Frankfurt.

And definitely want it to be y'all.  Been losing too much high profile stuff to Brazil lately.
