Bridgeview, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - The United States
womens national team rolled a 5-0 victory over Guatemala
on Friday in their second CONCACAF Womens Championship
group stage match, but suffered a major loss as star
forward Alex Morgan was injured in the first half at
Toyota Park. Tobin Heath hit for a brace, while Megan
Rapinoe, Whitney Engen and Carli Lloyd all found the back
of the net as the U.S. earned its second win of the
tournament. Jill Ellis team struggled in their opening
match before being rescued by an Abby Wambach goal to top
Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday, but Fridays match began
with a much different tone. The home side opened the
scoring after just seven minutes when Ali Krieger drove
to the end line on the right flank and whipped a cross
into the box where Heath got to it, stabbing it past
Guatemala goalkeeper Alicia Navas. The visiting side
bunkered in after the goal and sat back, absorbing
pressure, and hoping to hit on the counter-attack. The
U.S. continued to apply pressure as the first half wound
down, creating several scoring chances, but lacking the
final touch. The injury bug struck for the U.S. in the
38th minute as Morgan got tangled up with a Guatemala
defender while going for an aerial ball and went down
with a left ankle sprain. The Portland Thorns forward,
who missed seven months with an injury to the same ankle,
was carried off the pitch and substituted in the 42nd
minute, with Christen Press coming on in her place.
Things really opened up for the U.S. in the second half
and Ellis side doubled its lead just moments into the
second 45 minutes when Sydney Leroux fired a great cross
to the back post from the left flank that was nodded back
across and home by Lloyd. The hosts made it 3-0 in style
in the 57th minute as Rapinoe sent an excellent corner
kick into the box that was flicked on goal by Lloyd and
touched past Navas by Heath for her second goal of the
night. Two minutes later it was 4-0 through some more
set-piece magic as Rapinoe sent another perfectly-struck
corner kick into the area and Engen rose highest to nod
home her third career international goal. After playing
provider on two goals, Rapinoe got into the scoring mood
in the 67th minute as she latched onto a loose ball
outside the box and smashed it past Navas with pace into
the top right corner for a 5-0 margin and her 28th career
international goal. Hope Solo had very little to do in
goal on her way to a 75th career clean sheet in
international competition. The Americans will continue
their CONCACAF Championship slate on Monday against
Haiti. Harold-Landry-Jersey/">Harold Landry Jersey . The
stress, the waiting, the whispers about whether he doped
during his stellar cycling career, all of it ended when -
after nearly two years - federal prosecutors closed an
investigation of him last week without bringing any
charges. Bennie-Logan-Jersey/">Bennie Logan Titans Jersey .
So true. It is one thing to create a winning football
team, and another to keep it winning. Each and every week
it changes. The NFL creates a unique interest of not who
is "the best", but much more who is "the best this week".

On the bright side, either the Minnesota Wild or Buffalo
Sabres will end their losing streak on Thursday
night.ORLANDO, Fla. - The Baltimore Ravens have acquired
