Softball, Tennis, Soccer, What Else?

It's becoming clear that our jerseys are for more than soccer. They're also good for girls softball team jerseys and girls tennis jerseys. I'm guessing they'd be good for volleyball and maybe even basketball. Girls golf? What other sports would they work with? How about a triathlon?

What a Game

There's no way I can describe yesterday's game for the US National Women's Team, but I'll try:

• The thrill of scoring first.
  
• The taste of destined victory when Solo saved the PK.
  
• The anger over the referee's call to allow Brazil to retake the penalty.
  
• The concern about going down to 10 players.
  
• The pride of the fitness and effort for the remaining 10 players.
  
• The depression when Brazil scored in extra time when they were clearly offsides.
• The gut wrenching 30 minutes when our women were fighting beyond exhaustion, but couldn't score.
  
• Then the Big One: the unbelievable thrill of the last minute goal in the extra time's extra time. Who could believe it?
  
• The heartbreak to see our first penalty missed.
  
• The rebirth of hope upon seeing the Brazilian keeper had cheated way forward and was caught allowing us to make the re-kick.
• Finally, the joy of making the last penalty and winning the match.

If you missed it, you really missed it.
