Pretty amazing how much gas was still in the tank at the end of that game. I've played a few games for that long, and it's pretty exhausting. That's the best feeling in the world when you win a game like that. Especially one with big-time implications.<div>

</div><div>Rapinoe is and has been our top midfielder. No question. I don't feel she really gets all the credit she deserves, even though her stats are really showing her value in this tournament. She's pretty smart soccer-wise- she sees a LOT of things going home and knows how and when to play things. Seeing the uncertainty at the front post on her corner was a great read on her part.</div><div>
</div><div>And, no doubt, she saw an opportunity to find an easy handball on that free kick- give her credit for three goals. I like watching her thought process out there, it's close to how I thought about the game. She just has the talent to actually DO it.</div><div>
</div><div>And good for Alex to get the last goal. She scrapped the entire game, definitely well deserved.</div>
