USWNT Blog - Next Up: The BIG One
The US will have a border war on Friday as they face either Canada or Mexico with the winner going to the 2011 Women's World Cup.
The US scored 18 goals and did not allow a goal in their three group stage matches.
My guess is that their next match is going to be a little tougher.
You also have to check out the USWNT Halloween video including Abby Wambach going as Pia Sundhage.
