Pre-Game Presser

U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage and midfielder Shannon Boxx attended the official pre-game press conference that are required of each team in every venue. There wasn't that much media there aside from a smattering of Chinese reporters, but they kept up their streak of asking Sundhage about the Chinese National Team during every single interview session she's held this year in China. For the record, she doesn't coach them any more so she doesn't have that much insight, but they are a very talented team and playing in front of the great crowds in China is always a good thing. After the press conference, Boxx chatted with a few volunteers (above) and signed a few autographs.
