MANAUS, Brazil -- The United States played Germany and Japan en route to a World Cup title a year ago. It played France a few days ago in this tournament. But it was Colombia that handed the Americans their first deficit in a major tournament since a 2012 Olympic semifinal.The same Colombia that hadnt scored a goal in any previous meeting with the United States.It wasnt the likeliest opponent to force the United States to chase a game.It might have been the unlikeliest opponent to chase back after the Americans regained control.But chase back the Colombians did. A set piece goal in the 90th minute from Catalina Usme, her second of the game, earned the South American underdogs a stunning 2-2 draw against the reigning champions.The United States controlled the game, both in possession and chances created. It won Group G despite the draw, while Colombia was eliminated despite the same. But this was Colombias night, a result in many ways as impressive as its shocking win against France in the World Cup.The United States wont know its quarterfinal opponent until after Sweden and China play in Tuesdays late round of games. The opponent in Brasilia could be whichever of those two teams finishes third in Group E (assuming Brazil finishes first), or Australia, the third-place finisher in Group F that clinched advancement with a win earlier Tuesday.Here are three more observations from Tuesdays draw:1. Credit the ColombiansPerhaps rare for a South American rival, Colombia had the full backing of the large crowd on hand to watch host Brazil play later in the evening. And while much of the talk entering the game was about a Colombian team in disarray -- its coach said players like Lady Andrade wouldnt even play Tuesday, only to reverse course and start her -- it played a spirited, if imperfect, game throughout, and Usme made the most of two set pieces.There are vast swaths of the globe that womens soccer needs to grow more competitive, but South America is clearly chief among them. This was a night the Colombians will remember.2. Hope Solo again in the spotlightThe crowd in Manaus, which was considerably larger even at the start of the nights first game than either of the crowds the United States played in front of for its first two games, didnt even wait for Hope Solo to touch the ball to continue the taunts that began in Belo Horizonte. As Solo jogged to her position on the field before kickoff, the crowd launched into the now familiar Zika chants. Later, they added a new twist on a familiar chant that became Ole, Ole, Ole, Zi-ka, Zi-ka.It appears the chants will follow her wherever the United States travels in this tournament.Solo heard the heckling in the game against France and turned in a quintessentially stellar performance in a game with enormous stakes. And while she generally draws rapturous cheers when playing for the national team in her own country, its not as if she is unfamiliar with hostile fans in other international and club settings. So lets not get carried away in connecting dots to link the heckling on this night and the admittedly glaring error that allowed Usmes free kick to slip under Solo and into the net. Solo has heard a lot of boos in her life; she hasnt let in a lot of goals like that. It was undeniably a gaffe. It is debatable if it was crowd-aided.3. Rapinoes return overshadowedThe unexpected scoreboard drama took precedence over the story that appeared likely to dominate the night beforehand. For the first time since last October, and the first time since suffering a torn ACL in December, Megan Rapinoe took the field as a starter for the United States. The midfielder played just 30 minutes, although her first-half substitution had every appearance of a planned change rather than any kind of forced move.It took Rapinoe only 90 seconds to put a cross into dangerous space in Colombias box. Perhaps as important, it took her only four minutes to go crashing to the turf after being fouled -- and get back up to continue playing. And it took her not that much longer to wave her hand at the referee in frustration with a foul call (one that set up Colombias goal).She looked, in other words, like herself. And as long as her exit really was part of the plan, her short cameo all but justifies the decision to bring her to this tournament. Nabil Fekir Jersey .

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Hugo Lloris Jersey .com) - Following a late-game loss to the reigning NBA champs, the Toronto Raptors will look to sustain their recent high-level play as they travel to Indiana to take on the Pacers. Zinedine Zidane Jersey . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No.Brad Knighton couldnt have picked a better time to play the best game of his professional career. With new signing David Ousted watching from the stands, the Vancouver Whitecaps goalkeeper produced a string of saves to lead his team to 2-0 win against Seattle Sounders on Saturday. Knightons outstanding performance earned him Major League Soccers Player of the Week award, and it also left head coach Martin Rennie with no choice to make about who will start in goal when the surging Whitecaps host Chicago Fire at BC Place on Sunday. It was the clubs second shutout in the last three matches. Knighton deserves big credit for how he has responded in the last couple of weeks following the signing of a new goalkeeper by the Whitecaps. He admitted after the match that the presence of Ousted in the Whitecaps locker room has lifted the level of his own game. "Thats the best game Ive ever played. By far, hands down", said the 28-year-old from North Carolina. "You dont want to be dropped from a team and it is my job to put in performances like that to make him think twice about taking me out of the lineup." "It has been nice having him (Ousted) here because it is going to push me and make me better. You want competition in every position and bringing David in is going to do that. What youve seen from the two weeks he has been here, it has changed my mentality and it is probably the best I have ever played." On Friday, I had the chance to spend some time in the company of Ousted. The Danish keeper looks an impressive figure both on and off the pitch. Hes a commanding presence in his penalty area, a strong shot-stopper and has an excellent long throw to start attacks. He clearly understands what is expected of him and is already settling well into his new club and country. The Whitecaps didnt bring in a new goalkeeper from Europe midway through the season with the plan of leaving him on the bench, so at some stage soon its likely the big Dane will get his chance. For now though, it is Knightons job to lose, and he showed on Saturday that he wont be giving up his position without a fight.dddddddddddd Knightons play was just one highlight on a night that will be remembered by Caps fans for a long time to come. In front of a sell-out season-high crowd of 22,500, the Whitecaps managed to beat their closest rivals for the first time since joining MLS. More importantly, they opened up a five-point gap between themselves and Seattle in the Western Conference playoff race. Kenny Millers value to the team was evident once again, and his finish for the opening goal after just four minutes was sublime. He timed his run to perfection. It was also great to see Darren Mattocks take his goal so well to seal the win in the closing stages. It has been a difficult year for the Jamaican speedster, but Mattocks certainly didnt look low on confidence when he raced in behind the Sounders defence and flicked the ball brilliantly past Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurining to make it 2-0. We havent seen it much this year, but Saturday was another reminder of how Mattocks pace can be a game changer. Following on from his excellent display in Kansas City, Honduran defender Johnny Leveron had another impressive display in the centre of defence and I thought the often-criticized Jun Marques Davidson had a fantastic game. It was probably the best Davidson has played since joining the Caps, protecting the back four and ensuring Sounders forward Obafemi Martins had no space to create. Corey Hertzog was also extremely effective in his role on the right side of the Whitecaps three-man attack. Beating Seattle, and winning against Cascadia opposition for the first time was a massive hurdle for the Whitecaps to overcome. The win ensured the Whitecaps remain unbeaten at home this season and extended their current unbeaten run in MLS to five matches. It was their fifth win in the last seven games since tying with Montreal at the end of May to fail in their bid to win the Amway Canadian Championship. They have taken 16 points from a possible 21. Right now, the Whitecaps are one of the form teams in MLS, and its been a total team effort to get them there.
