About this episode

After the USWNT's hard-fought 1-0 win over Japan, two-time Olympic gold medalist Brianna Scurry and Julie talk about how a tough game is part of the process in a tournament like the Olympics, how winning has a way of making everyone forget about the difficult moments and Bri shares what she would say to the USWNT before its upcoming semifinal game. In Olympics Buzz, Julie tells the story of how she made it to Eiffel Tower Stadium to cheer on the U.S. beach volleyball team of Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth, and Lynn has stats on how the U.S. women are dominating at the Paris Games.
