 In Germany the women’s FIFA World Cup has been going on, the U.S. Soccer Team has been showing much more skill than we usually do. We won first round, and the next ones following, we made it all the way to the Quarter-Finals.America now faced Brazil a team that had shown its skill in their previous games. The U.S.team must have felt the pressure, they were down 1-2 with no time to spare. Out of disparity Megan Rapinoe kicks the ball one last time praying for a goal. It looks like the goalie is just going to catch it but her hand slips and the ball bounces off of her hands giving Abby Wambach the header America needed. The ball bounced off of Abby’s head into the back of the goal tying the game with no time left. The game went into a shootout, America’s top shooters put the game away, wining the shootout with a score being 5-3. What a win for our women’s soccer team, they now head further in the tournament to the Semis against Sweden. Let’s Go Girls!!!!!
