The team itself has flown out of Dresden to Monchengladbach for their semi-final match against France this morning. That will be shown on ESPN on Wednesday morning at Noon, EST.
- Grant Wahl commends the US effort in never giving up even in the final minutes of a game that they seemed all but certain to lose. He also writes about the American team selects its penalty kickers, and how that unfolded on Sunday.
- Jaime Lowe from ESPN talks about the crowd support for the U.S. at the game, how loud they were and for how long. Money quote from Hope Solo: "I didn't hear the crowd at the time -- I didn't hear anything, but I could feel them every time I went in for penalty kicks."
- Slate covers the game with an eye towards a discussion of how the game played out, with the questionable calls and penalties that went against both sides (mostly against the Americans)
- MSNBC has a nice article on how this American women's team is carving out its own legacy, finally out from under the shadow of Mia Hamm.
