Christina Rea has been at all the watch parties at Avaya Stadium, she said this game had some of the best soccer play of the World Cup.
"The first half of the whole game was the best half of the tournament so far," Rea said. "It was exciting. We came out in the second half and Alyssa Naeher really came through with that penalty kick. She really got us to the end. That's what we needed. We've had strong goalkeeping every single year and that's helped us get this far. We have the three stars above our crest and we're going for the fourth one. I'm so stoked. The team really came through today."
