United States Vs. North Korea and Puyol

Hello!

Yesterday in the Olympics the United States Womens team had a great game and ended up winning. The United States scored their first and only goal when Alex Morgan slipped a sneaky pass between the two defenders that were guarding her, then the veteran Abby Wambach had a nice and calm finish. It was a funny celebration when most of the players came and got in a line and did this dance move with their arms that I can not seem to find the Official name for. It seemed like the U.S. should have had at least one more or maybe two, because Morgan hit the post once and Wambach hit the post also. North Korea never really had great chances, but the goalkeeper Hope Solo did have to save a few. In the second half a North Korean player slid in on one of the United States players and drew her second yellow card. So the United States finished off the game with a one man advantage. The U.S. advances to the knock out stage in the first postion of their group. I think they go and play at Newcastle's stadium.

Barcelona's captain Carles Puyol is going to sign a contract extension to finish out his career at the club. Puyol missed out on Euro 2012 with a knee injury, but has went back to training with Barcelona.

Well that is it for today! Come back tomorrow.
