Yes, we got kicked, but fairly so. The American team played hard and excelled well to the last kick. We must congradulate them for a win well done....

Thank god your ladies performed better than our ladies.
Women's soccer is growing, but the lage audience is stil more interested in men's soccer. Women, men and children support their city or regional soccer team in the national competition (Premiere Leage), or their National male team at European Chapionships and World cups and during the Olympic games. It will take some time when Female soccer will be considered equal to men soccer.
Cheers,
Pieter

You have a point with Ladies soccer to that of Mens. To be honest, my self was a bit surprised to see Womens soccer, but then why not...
It is not so different in Mexico with the following:
From Wikipedia
The Mexico women's national football team (sometimes referred to as Las Tri) represents Mexico in international women's football competition and is controlled by La Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (Mexico Football Federation). In the 1970s, the team gained popularity, with Mexico finishing 3rd in an unofficial Women's World Cup held in Italy. Also, in 1971, the team hosted an unofficial women's World Cup reaching the final, only to lose to Denmark 3–0. An estimated 110,000 people attended the final at Estadio Azteca that day. The team was formed before the 1999 Women's World Cup and was composed of players having citizenship of Mexico and descedents born elsewhere of Mexico's citizens. The main goal for the team was to qualify for their first World Cup. The team has since then developed and is now ranked 25th in the Women's FIFA World Ranking.
One advantage of the team as compared to all other teams is that they have had for the past 14 years, one coach, Leonardo Cuéllar; rare in the world of a national team from Mexico. Another resurgence in popularity is developing, as the U-20 team competed in the quarter-finals in 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and a notable 1–0 win over England where the game was broadcast live. The team was the host for the 2010 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup, finishing in second place after an unexpected 2–1 victory over the United States. Mexico has a professional league, the Super Liga Femenil de Futbol, which was established in part to raise consciousness of women's football in Mexico.

Well England lost to Japan yesterday so now it looks like a second time these two teams (USA & Japan) are going to scuffle. It will be a great match.
