End near at Women's World Cup?

The United States did not win its pool at the Women's World Cup, thus will play Brazil Sunday.
Brandi Chastain celebrated in 1999. It's doubtful an American woman will be celebrating a championship in 2011.
UPDATE: U.S. wins in penalty kicks and advances to Wednesday's semifinal against France.
UPDATE2: Lead link in Rule5 Sunday at the Other McCain.
