Women's WC Final, USA vs Japan, Sunday 2 ET

[CHU]

While eating dinner, I could only imagine the hype-machine from ESPN (and others) if the U.S. Men ever made it to the finals of the Men's World Cup. My gosh!

Regardless, since Brazil is in a similar or closer time zone, ESPN is going to put up monster numbers in 2014 for the men.

I didn't realize (until reading it) that Rachel Buehler was responsible (sort of - it's a team game) for both Japan goals. I guess Ian Darke was right when he mentioned early on that he hopes the U.S. won't rue those early missed chances.

I could not be prouder of Abby Wambach

She is still the all-time Gator Woman's Soccer leader in goals, game winning goals, hat-tricks, assists and shots. She was a beast in college, and has continued that excellence throughout her career. I'm glad she has been getting some well deserved recognition.

Originally from my adopted home town of Rochester NY I find out today.

Small world.

Actually watched George Lopez tonight because Hope Solo was on it.

I think I'm a soccer fan, right reasons or not. Haha.. anyways...

Solo, Morgan and Wambach have signed an endorsement deal with Bank of America.

'grats ladies. It feels like they won with all this coverage. Kind of odd.
