Lloyd ups the score to 3-2.

It's on TV 1097HD on ATTuverse. 4 to 2 USA still at the 75 minute mark.

France - 2
Alex Morgan - 2

Comcastic's 81 or 723 (SD/HD).

They refs are letting them play. Lot of contact out there on both sides not getting called. I like that.

I hope everyone at least gets to see the highlight reel of this game. This is seriously one of the highlights for Cal sports fans for 2012. Awesome comeback.

(Even though some French player tried to take out our heroine in the 10th minute. Suck it, France!)

I wished I was able to watch it... just glad they won

Nice write up on your Cal Golden Bear, Alex Morgan in the New York Times, Rising as Fast as Her Feet Will Take Her.

Well, if you look at photos of baby horses galloping with their legs kinda going all over, that's what reminded teammates of Morgan's "gallop."

"Alex “Baby Horse” Morgan, one of the youngest players on the U.S. women’s soccer team, first made a national name for herself at Cal-Berkeley when she led the powerful Golden Bears in scoring as a freshman in 2007. She’s currently a forward for the Western New York Flash of the Women’s Professional Soccer league. As for that nickname: She was the youngest member (the baby) of the American squad that lost on penalty kicks to Japan in the final of the 2011 Women’s World Cup, and her long legs, to this day, sometimes make her look like she’s galloping on the pitch. great-olympic-nicknames/slide/alex-morgan/#alex-morgan

Lots of fan tributes to "Baby Horse" but had to share this one I saw on Tumblr today:
