Well one thing for sure the front line will be different as Lilly will be suspended and Wambach is extremely doubtful

Nope Lilly will be able to play Confused how crazy is that rule:
"According to the Peace Queen Cup's unique rules, yellow cards and red cards don't count toward the final."

Its a stupid rule, but at the same time Lilly shouldnt have got a red, yellow maybe but not a red.

It pains me to say this but I do agree with you Smoggie , Canada do deserve to win it but I hope they don't Wink For some crazy reason on me day off I'm gonna get up at 4.30am to see it , I just hope the USA put in a good performance and take their chances.

Lilly said on her website that she did swear but it wasn't intended at the official's. I think the reason she hasn't been sent off before is she doesn't get involved in the scuffles and argument's that break out.

Here's what Lil wrote on her website - why not quote the whole part about the incident? Wink

Kristine Lilly wrote:
I have been playing soccer my whole life and on the National Team for 19 years and today I received my first red card. Yes a red card. Now you want to know what I did to do to possibly deserve it, well I don’t think I did anything worthy of a red card, but some words may have gotten lost in translation.

I was frustrated because the lineswoman called off sides on us when it was a hand ball on the Holland player. So I said my frustrations to the lineswoman and I may have used a swear word in there…………but it wasn’t anything derogatory to the lineswoman or the referee. However, the lineswoman thought she needed to have a word with the referee and after their chat, she walked up to me and gave me a red card. I was in awe and I was like “what?” even the Holland player said “come on ref.” I tried to ask why but all I got was a flip of the hand that said “off the field.” None the less I walked off the field and walked right into the locker room. There was a bout 10 minutes left in the game and we were winning 2-0 at the time.

So what is the moral of the story you must wonder, well be careful what you say and how you say something. I shouldn’t have reacted with such frustration and normally I don’t think I would have gotten a red card but this can happen and as a captain I have to be a better example. At least this wasn’t in the World Cup or qualifiers.

Tarpley has impressed me , she's growing in confidence with every game , not a bad player to have on the bench and works well for the team. Tasha Kai is looking better with every game , unlucky not to score today.

It was worth getting up at 4.30 for , there was no commentary mind but you got the feel of the atmosphere without anyone talking. Good goal by Lilly , it was made for her really. The U.S deserve to win the game. I think Lilly won the player of the tournament but I'm not sure. Anyway I'm well happy Very Happy
