July 14th, 2011The most exciting 30 minutes of World Cup soccer from each day's matches in Germany:
USA vs France - Watch for free at ESPN3.com
Watch these exciting moments:
8th minute - 10th minute
54th minute - 82nd minute

The US were physically and emotionally exhausted from their miracle comeback against Brazil, but stayed inspired by captain Abby Wambach. The French tested Hope Solo 25 times. Hint: she didn't save all of them.
Sweden vs Japan - Watch for free at ESPN3.com
Watch these exciting moments:
9th minute - 20th minute
58th minute - 65th minute
