Utterly fabulous. This goal brought Johnny off his couch pumping his fists. Tremendous heart showed by this team today. On the wrong side of several brutal calls by the Aussie referee (Who peed on your vegemite sammich 'dere sweetie?) the US Women's National Soccer team kept after it even down to 10 players for the last hour. Abby Wambach connected on a PERFECT pass from Megan Rapinoe deep deep into the match and tied it with what is now the latest goal in women's World Cup history.
Now, a lesson here kids. This goal was scored in added time in extra time. The extra time was added on whenst this goal was scored came after a Brazilian player, Erika, just simply laid down on the field pretending she had some malady like a broken bone, a cracked skull, diphtheria, or her leg had fallen off. She was prone and writhing on the field for about four minutes. Of course once the stretcher had picked her up and taken her off the field she sprinted to the sideline, cured by Jeebus himself no doubt, and sprinted back into the game. But those four minutes she lazed around the park were added on. And while those four minutes were playing out Abby Wambach did this, take it away Ian Darke:
US goaltender Hope Solo did her job stopping the third Brazilian player in penalty kicks (The same gal who had scored the first US goal FOR us), the US side made all theirs and the USA will play France Wednesday at noon in the World Cup semi-final.
Abby Wambach and Hope Solo should be allowed to loot and pillage for 24 hours after their return to the USA.
