Sounds good to me.

As much of a player as Abby is, I think we'd be better suited attacking Germany with speed. Bring Abby in as a sub.

And Germany has won two World Cups since then.....the United States none....I suspect we would trade those two in heartbeat.....

Let's make it 7-0-5

Just for the record and ESPN did not point it out in the 2003 Semi Finals Germany beat the USA 3-0.....

Solo, Klingenberg, Johnston, Sauerbrunn, Krieger, Holiday, Brian, Lloyd, Heath, Rapinoe and Morgan are starting for the good side.
