A good game but Canada should have been in the championship. What is better for ratings, however, than a "rematch" of the World Cup teams from two years ago?

And NBC just devoted 4 minutes to the match in primetime. It's like they're stuck in the middle ages. Times are changing NBC. We want to see more athletics and less drama queens.

Fine set of performances by a fine team. Plus, we don't have to put up with Hope Solo's self-centeredness for a while.
