Lisa Carlin, Darian Jenkins, and Sandra Herrera react and recap USA's Extra Time victory over Germany in the Olympic Semifinals. First, the ladies give their initial reactions to the match as well as both teams starting lineups and how two last minute scratches from Germany affected their side. Next, a deep dive into the tactical side of the game and how Germany's game plan was smart. Then, a chat about the changes made at the top of Extra Time, how well the goalkeepers played, Sophia Smith's game-winning goal, and all the one on one battles across the field that were on display. Next, the A3 crew give their respective Player of the Match shouts with all three naming someone different. And finally, Flowers for Germany as they head to the Bronze Medal Match and a quick pick from the ladies as to who they'd like to see the US play in the Gold Medal Final.
