The New Scourge of Ireland

Natasha Kai scored again! Nice left footer to the bottom of the net at 72'. She's 2 for 2 in games against Ireland this month. It was her 15th goal this year!

I'm happy about the win, but shouldn't the #1 FIFA ranked team stick it to the #28 ranked team a little better? Especially after winning the Olympic gold?

Consider this: FIFA co-ranked Ireland with Argentina, the same team that lost 11-0 to Germany in the 2007 World Cup! Maybe the close scores between the US and Ireland signal the move to team parity, but I doubt it!
