Chapman and Buchanan could easily shut her down, or she could own them. Complete toss up at this point, granted I've seen her play only 3 matches.
For what it's worth, I revise my assessment of Henry's goal today, definitely the best of the tournament. Love that second touch she takes to move the ball into space.

Marta has looked slow like Wambach this tourney, and it's not even close.
Even the commentators have been on Marta for creating very little offence, and looking disoriented, (like Sinclair)
Rewind and watch again what Bachman does to Japan all on her own and listen to the announcers call her the "Swiss Messi"
Keep all your past trophys and awards,
present day Bachman > than present day Marta and it's not even close.
Canada can't shut down New Zealand what makes you think they can shut her down?
