On Saturday in Philadelphia the USA beat Ireland 2-0 on goals from Natasha Kai and Heather O'Reilly.
Heather O'Reilly celebrated her 100th cap as the games captain. She actually played in her 100th game in the gold medal match of the Olympics.
The USA took the lead in the 32nd minute on a fantastic header from Natasha Kai. Heather O'Reilly played a great ball near the penalty area and found Tash's head.
Ireland played a tough match and held strong even though they were out shot 20-4.
The USA had many chances, but was unable to score again until the 86th minute. Heather O'Reilly cracked a great left footed shot that sailed over the Irish keeper and into the net.
The USA's next game will be on Wednesday in the states, but Thursday here. They will actually be streaming the game on ussoccer.com, so you should be able to watch it on your computer. Unfortunately...I'll be in class. ;)
