AMERICA WON AGAIN

The match between the England female soccer team and the female team of the United State of America did not see large spectators but it the match many would wished they watch at the stadium live.The match which American won 3-0 started with a scoreless first half, Wambach banged in a header in the 48th minute, directing home a corner kick from Lilly before a crowd listed at 29,000, although far fewer fans seemed to be in 60,000-seat Olympic Center Stadium. It was her fourth goal of the tournament and her 81st for the national team in 100 appearances.
Boxx made it 2-0 in the 57th after Whitehill stripped the ball from England’s Jill Scott near midfield. The ball fell to Boxx, who scored on a low, long shot that went in off the fingertips of surprised England goalkeeper Rachel Brown.
In the 60th, Lilly finally broke through with her first goal of this tournament and her eighth in World Cup play. A long ball from Whitehill from across midfield bounced high and fooled Brown, who went far from the net. She leaped and could only tip it, with Lilly running in behind to knock it home.
England’s best chances came with Karen Carney and Eniola Aluko trying to organize most of the offense. But top striker Kelly Smith — four goals in this tournament — was marked out of the game by midfielder Leslie Osborne.
