US beats Japan and advances to the gold medal game
unc5corners.blogspot.com 8/18/2008 — This morning I was reading an article from Yahoo Sports stating that the US Women's Soccer team was running a lot on luck. I think that whoever came up with that idea should be changing their mind if they watched the game between the US Team and Japan, where the Americans beat their opponents by the score of 4-2.

Women's Soccer Gold Medal Quotes — D.C. Sports Bog
Still working on a few things over in Beijing, where it's 5 a.m. and counting, but I figured I'd put up a few quotes from a very happy, very gold-colored U.S. post-game mixed zone.

U.S. women win in soccer, but lose on softball? Huh? — Watchdog
Lemme get this straight: The U.S. women won the gold medal in soccer but lost it in softball? Isn't that, you know, backward?
