The USA eventually won the game 13-0...
Alex Morgan scored five...
I enjoyed a shy 2-0 Swedish victory over Chile while the US were having fun. The stadium wasn't sold out, far from it. People who came to France from as far as Chile made themselves heard, there were also lots of children.
Rain poured down violently early in the second half. Spectators decamped to higher dry places. I didn't move, out of sheer solidarity for the players and the stadium staff. I did open an umbrella once sure it wouldn't bother anyone behind me. The play stopped for over 30 minutes.
Weathermen are great: when they said play could start again, the last drops had just hit the ground.
Gonna go see Nigeria-France next monday. This one's been sold out for a while.
