U-S-A!! U-S-A!!


The US women defeated arch-rival Brazil in the Gold Medal Matchup this morning 1-0 in OT!!! This is a huge win for a young US team, a team that has been without their leading gola scorer Abby Wambauch with a broken leg for the whole tourney. Brazil was looking hungry in the second half, but the US defense held them off. Then just a few minutes into OT, Carli Lloyd scored on a great shot which remainded the only goal of the game!

I am also super happy that the MER tagup this morning was on the loops instead of in the conference room since OT started at the same time as the meeting. I was not looking forward to having to leave the streaming video on my computer just for the tagup. I don't know why we got to do it on the loops, but I sure am glad!
