USA Womans Soccer

Since Thursday of last week I have had a cold and sore throut that I have had to deal with. Its not been fun. Well after a long day saturday with Taits birthday party my body finally shut down. Along with the fact that friday night Derek and I played Tiger Woods golf and yelled a lot. But sunday morning I just felt like pooh! So I stayed home from church because I was sick and so was Kinni. Alicen took off to see her uncles who are in town and to get out of the sick environment. I decided to watch the Womans World Cup- United States vs Brazil.
I had heard it was going to be a tough game for the USA to win. And it lived up to all expectations. What a great game the US played. They scored within the first few minutes, they played tough against a Brazilian team that knew how to flop injuries to get calles better the Manu Ginobili of the Spurs. Any little touch they would drop down hurt. Although the Red card was acceptable.
The US should have won in the 90 minute spand if it wasnt for a bad call by the refs on the goal kick. It was so close of a call that it should never have been made. And what a block by Hope Solo. She is good goalie. I thought for sure that the game was over for the US when Brazil scored again. But that header in the last minutes of the game to send it to a shoot out was awesome (picture above). The USA team really played with heart and soul.
Then to win it in shoot out was awesome. After all the issues the USA had to deal with through the game. It was good to see them come out on top and with a win in against a tough team. I was glad I was able to watch it.
