A Great Event...So How Come Noone Is Watcihng?

Hey, do you realize that the women's world cup is going on right now? No, I bet you didn't. And let me tell you, you are missing out.

I know soccer isn't huge...but these female soccer players are some of the best athletes you have ever seen. Not only that, but we are one of the favorites and I believe, one of only three teams that actually has a chance to win. Our whole team is great, but specifically watch out for these three girls:

Abby Wambach: Standing at 5'10 Abby is a freak of nature...and I mean that in the best possible way. Whenever the ball is in the air and she doesn't come up with it, I'm surprised. She's just that good. Don't believe me? Well, her 118 career goals are ready and willing to back me up.

Hope Solo: She plays the most unenviable position on the soccer field. Every goal that she stops...well obviously she should have! And for every goal that is scored..it is 100% her fault. Well at least according to the casual observer. She's found a way to combat this pressure though...just don't let them score! With a scoreless streak of 478 minutes, every minute of her in goal is prime time television.

Shannon Box: I know, this was not who you were expecting I would put there. Who cares about a defensive midfielder? Well I do! Shannon does all the gritty dirty things that are necessary to make sure that the US dominates possession. So next time you watch, just count the number of times Box wins a 50/50 ball. After that, you'll come to my way of thinking I promise!

These ladies need our support guys...so take a chance, turn on the tv and I promise you that you will be entertained!

GO USA!
