Lady Andrade is no fan of Team USA. She recently said in an interview that "they [Team USA] belittle us. They think we're a team they're going to walk all over and it will be an easy game for them." She then went on to predict that "[w]e're going to beat them since they like to talk so much."
Those seem like some pretty strong fighting words for a team that is widely predicted to lose their match against the United States. Anything can happen at the World Cup, but guaranteeing a win against a team that is far and away better than you probably isn't the best idea in the world.
I have no quarrels with Columbia, but I surely hope that Team USA shows them the door tonight. Trash talking is a given in professional sports, but it's always smart to trash talk when you know that you have the upper hand.

2-0 Team USA. They looked great last night.
It's nice to see them playing so well after a lackluster first round. They played like the team I was expecting them to be last night. Hopefully they can keep it up!
