Their average age is 20, perv.

That is even worse. They should be in their prime years of attractiveness.

[Green Monstah]

Proud yes, but not at all surprised.

Your talk of being impressed at a young age got me to thinking. I remember about the time I was 12 they had the Summer Olympics in Munich where the U.S. lost the gold medal game to the USSR after three do-overs to end the game. Oh the injustice of it all.

You were really born in 1960? For some reason, I had you pegged as mid-30s in my mind's eye.

I actually attended the Munich Olympics We originally had tickets to the soccar finals, but with the Massacre it pushed everything back and Dad traded those tickets for tickets to the prelims of mens hammer and high jump. That was in the afternoon. That evening we sat on the hill overlooking the stadium and watched the finals of the 400 - with good binoculars you could see about half of the track. I still have the ticket stubs somewhere as well as some nick nacks.

Dominating performance from the USWNT today. O'Reilly's goal to open the scoring was fantastic.

Great match by the US today against Brazil. Playing most of the second half down a player and scoring the equalizer in the final seconds of extra time to force penalty kicks.

I never thought I'd have a comment on women's soccer, but I saw the recap on ESPN and it got me pumped. I can cheer for the US in anything.

[pellegrino]

that result makes me very happy. I was most pleased to see O'Reilly back in the lineup. She's worked so hard over her career and I would really like to see her play on a WC championship team this year.

Awesome game. The best part was nearly everyone in the stadium turning on the Brazilian team after all the crap they pulled. Marta was booed every time she was on the ball for most of the game. Wasn't just the US fans either. Pretty much everyone not waving a Brazilian flag. Bring on Le Bleu.

I knew I made a mistake by just recording the length of time allotted in the Dish guide. My DVR finked out right after Brazil went up 2-1. I thought it was done. I want to see highlights.

Hope Solo. She was great.

[Donuthole]

Hope Solo. She was great.

Meh.

[Surfah]

Meh.

Thanks for ruining her for me.

That was pretty exciting, for soccer. I can't wait for the highlights on Sportscenter after the next game.

Sure was glad I skipped Church to watch that match. Fantastic.
