Still chasing Brazilian glory. Shocking for as talented they were - Brazil has never won a world trophy. 2 Silvers at the Olympics and 1 runner up at the World Cup - all under Marta.

Wow. The 2nd US goal knocked Australia out of the tournament. They would have had goals scored if they could have held on to GD margin in the 3rd place race, but the second goal today cost them.

This might be the last image we ever see of Marta, a straight red against Spain. Not much to be debated on this call.

 

 

I will say this, for US fans, she is easily the villain of the story of soccer. But she might just be misunderstood. I recommend watching this video (spoilered for space). It likely won't change your view on her, but it might:

A 16-minute video about how Brazil failed Marta? I'll immediately add it to my favorites. :(

Egypt/Paraguay go to PKs.

 

The game also shows how much Morocco was being followed. That was a full stadium. This game is at best 40% full and I'm being generous. It might be around 25%.

They said the Argentine player got the ball and then in the step through it was a foul by the French player. Not just a foul, a yellow card for him because he wasn’t playing the ball but stepping on the player.

Late goal from Brazil to take a 1-0 lead over France.  6 minutes plus stoppage time to go.

Meanwhile, Marta international career

But there are so many ... 

The only one I have the time or energy to keep straight are the Kazakhs. That's their right as the world's No.1 exporter of potassium.

(All other countries have inferior potassium.)

Years ago my company's HR department asked if I would be open to taking on an international assignment.  I said yes, so they asked if there were any countries I would not consider.  I said "Any place that ends in 'stan'.  Other than that, I'm good."  I would have made an exception for Kazakhstan if it had been an option.
