The USA WNT arrived in Beijing, China a few days ago to prepare for their first match against Norway on Aug. 6. They spent about 3 days in Beijing sightseeing and squeezing in some training sessions here and there.
The team after arriving in Beijing
The team left for Qinhuangdao today where their first two matches will be held. The USA is in group G along with Norway, Japan, and New Zealand. They play Norway on August 6, Japan on August 9, and then New Zealand on August 12. The two top teams will go on the the quarterfinals.
Hopefully the US will go all the way and win gold even without their top goalscorer, Abby Wambach. Abby broke her leg about 10 days ago playing against Brazil in their last game before heading to China. If you go to youtube and search "Abby Wambach breaks her leg," you will be able to see the video of her breaking it.
I hope that these games will be on TV here and if they are, I will post up the schedule. GO USA!

I really like the player list. Who plays what and what formation will they use? What do you think they will they do position wise and strategy wise now without Wambach? Anyone? Zoe?
haha sounds like a good post.
