The USA beat China on December 13 in California 1-0 off of a Tina Ellertson goal (assisted by none-other than Amy Rodriguez). You may have heard of Tina Ellertson from the 2007 World Cup team. She took 2008 off to give birth to her second child, but has returned with the team. It was Ellertson's first goal, as this was her first time to play forward for the National team. In '07 she was a defender.
Kristine Lilly played her first match of 2008, as she returned from giving birth to her daughter in July. Kristine came on in the 55th minute to recieve her 341st international cap.
The US controlled most of the game and had a lot of chances on goal, especially from Carli Lloyd and Kristine Lilly.
