He had man boobs....or was a chick.

tough call. I didn't even notice. I was to busy with all my crushes on the field and trying to forget what hope solo's lady bits looked like.

...trying to forget what hope solo's lady bits looked like.

I am still afflicted by those images.

I had a feeling that if the USA came to play (and after the loss in 2011, that's almost a sure bet), that Japan didn't stand a chance. The USA had their chances in 2011, and didn't finish them; lost the cup as a result. I congratulated Japan, as it was a very meaningful win in the aftermath of Fukashima. That said, this could be considered the "rubber match" between the two (2011 FWWC, 2012 Olympics, 2015 FWWC)--and the USA has punctuated it. I was elated to see Wambach and Rampone get subbed in. If we'd had a 4th, I'm confident that Shannon Boxx would have gotten in as well. Rampone was the lone person on the team the last time we won a world cup, and the USA was heavily reliant upon here during her tenure for leadership and guidance.

I doubt there's a better chronicler of Intl Women's soccer than our Carlos.

Carlos will be happy to know that today I bought into the "Founders Club" of the new Atlanta United FC team to kick off in 2017. I will be among the first to be season ticket holders and in the "supporters section none the less.

I can only hope that they make an expansion team in SLC.

I'm kinda thinking that I'd rather watch the women. at least they're hot.

Plus we have a golden opportunity. Women's soccer is woefully underfunded in much of the world, and continued/renewed support for the US program means we'll continue to DOMINATE for years to come.
