Oakland News Now – U S Women’s Soccer Team Trudges Into Tokyo Olympics Knockout Round – video made by the YouTube channel in the video’s upper left hand corner.

KASHIMA, Japan—In this small steel-fabricating city about 70 miles east of Tokyo—the Youngstown, Ohio of Japan—the superstars of U. S. women’s soccer team delivered a clock-punching, get-the-job done performance to keep their Olympic hopes alive on Tuesday night. They took a conservative approach and tied Australia 0-0, finishing an underwhelming slog through group play at the Tokyo Olympics but doing enough to advance to Friday’s knockout round. The U. S. will play the Netherlands in a rematch of the 2019 World Cup final, which the U. S. won 2-0. The U. S. finished tied with Australia in the Group G standings but finished second in the group behind Sweden on goal differential. In the 12-team women’s Olympic tournament, the top two finishers in each group plus the two best third-place teams advance to the quarterfinals. The world No. 1, which entered these Games aiming to become the first team to follow a World Cup title with an Olympic gold medal, now will buckle down for the eight-team knockout round and hope for better than its 1-1-1 record in group play.“It was a tactical decision by Vlatko (Andonovski, the U. S. coach) for us to shift defensively a little more conservatively and really allow them to get impatient, play it long and give it back to us,” U. S. forward Alex Morgan said. “Eventually, I feel like both teams kind of sat in, and it became a game of playing the professional game and moving on.”

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
