No Wambach, Osborne or Whitehill and the same ref that ejected Shannon Boxx in the 2007 World Cup Semi-Final when the US were down 2-nil to Brazil in Extra Time and Christiane ran into Boxx’s legs.
Video of the Red Card after the jump….
Sorry to put you through that mess again since we all know what happened directly after the game in the press area, but this will be interesting to see how Pertignat and her sweet white headband calls this match.
With it being US v Norway AND the opening match of the Olympics, emotions will be running high.
