This is the official Last Word on Sports post-game analysis for the USA Women’s National Team vs. China Quarterfinal match. Sean and Matt are joined by a returning Chris Asbrock to break down the USWNT vs China game. The guys discuss who was the best player of the match, the changes made by Jill Ellis, and more. Now that one Semi-Final match-up is set, the guys also look ahead to the USWNT next challenge against a fearsome Germany side that defeated France 5-4 on penalties earlier today after a 1-1 draw after extra time.
Then things are rounded out by looking at the USMNT 23 man squad that Jurgen Klinsman selected for the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2015, which begins very soon.

Sean Garmer: is a crazy mix of Arkansas, Venezuela, and Texas all rolled into one. He studied Journalism at the University of North Texas and hopes to one day be able to return to finish his degree. Having been born in Arkansas, his favorite college team is the Arkansas Razorbacks, but all of his professional loves come from the DFW area, where he spent 20 years of his life. Sean’s first love is soccer, which began from having an entire latino side of the family that watched the sport. It then grew into him playing soccer all the way into high school and college. He was also able to do color commentary for the University of North Texas Women’s soccer team as well. He then transitioned that into several writing gigs on various websites, including being paid to cover every game in several World Cups. Sean is an avid FC Dallas supporter and has grown to love MLS above all other soccer leagues. His second sport is a tie between American Football and Basketball. Where Sean is a diehard Cowboys and Mavericks fan respectively, but also tries to keep up with other sports as much as he can.
Matt Pollard: is a Chemical Engineering Grad Student and Staff Writer for the MLS department at Last Word on Sports. When he’s not playing with fire, he’s going for a run, trying a microbrewery, or watching sports. His first sports love was the LA Kings, though MLS didn’t exist at the time. Once called the Shakespeare of the department, he describes himself as a typical tuba playing Ginger Ninja, Environmental Crusader, Sports Hipster, and Miami Hurricane. Like the Galaxy, he too was handcrafted in LA
