The US Women's soccer team find themselves in familiar territory here at the Olympics. The US Team is in the gold medal finals once again after defeating Japan today, 4-2.
Angela Hucles two goals made the difference for the US. Hucles scored her first goal late in the first half to tie up the match at 1-1. Lori Chalupny put the US ahead for good when she scored in the 44th minute. Heather O'Reilly also contributed a goal, but this one came in the 70th minute of the match. Hucles second goal came during the 80th minute, which was more than enough to put away Japan.
The US will be facing Brazil in the finals. Brazil defeated Germany earlier today by a score of 4-1.
The US has a chance to win their third gold medal ever in women's soccer. They've had much success here in the Olympics, only losing one gold medal final. The US has a chance to show their soccer dominance to the rest of the world, once again.
