All of the Nike kits are bad and boring. The US kit is bad, boring, and ugly.

The assistant coach for the Norwegian team handed out homework for each national team player at the end of last year and asked them to practice taking penalties. Between the first and second national team camps they were asked to practice taking three penalties five times a week, and then after the second camp they were asked to refine them a bit and do one penalty three times a week. They've also hired one of the best penalty researchers in the world, Geir Jordet, to help with the mental aspect and they held a penalty shootout contest against Portugal in the last friendly before the game on Thursday and won 4-2.

Sounds like a recipe for a hilarious collapse when it actually matters. Very English.

I guess nows a good time to mention that Canada has i think 1 goal from open play in their 8 last competitive matches

At least Sinclair is on the bench so they don't have to play around her parking cone-like presence in the middle of the park like they did in the first match.

Maybe they're hoping a cross will deflect in off her rear end or something while she's standing totally still in the middle of the park

In all fairness, I've played with the WWC ball and it is very "light". It is not, however, any lighter or more balloon-like than any of the past couple Adidas World Cup balls. We don't talk about the Teamgeist or Jabulani.
