    I love that they are not drama queens about a foul. If it doesn't bleed, they play on.

    that was a great game, not as good as the last one, but if you don't win it all, it's all for naught. congratulations to the american women!(y)

    Congrats to the ladies team!

    I only saw the highlights reel, but it would seem that the ladies kick-ball team is a glittering jewel in a sports landscape that has come to look, feel and smell more like a bus stop restroom in south Alabama.

    I'd rather get a colonoscopy than endure a mens kickball match, but it would appear that with the ladies teams you get 90-percent of the athleticism with only ten-percent of the flopping and twitching.

    Good stuff.

    The goal kicked in from halfway down the pitch is the only thing I've seen:

    At that distance, the goal looks pretty small. What a goal!

    I always thought watching soccer was boring. However these women have changed my mind. That final game was one of the most exciting sporting events I have ever watched. Carli Lloyd's team calls her the "beast". I see why now. The team lead by Lloyd made sports history. I still don't like men's soccer.
