Pia Sundage, a Swede if I heard correctly, said that this team shows an “American Attitude”. Yeah, an attitude of a**-kicking and never giving up!
PS: Hope Solo was a goddess on the field today with her anger and confidence. She had an aura about her during those PK’s, an aura of anger and confidence. Amazing.
I thought that was just so much BS. It might have been accurate 60 years ago, but now the predominant attitude here is "Gimme." We've given up enforcing our own laws. It won't be long now.

Lots of heros today. Wambach provided plenty of leadership. Rapinoe’s cross was a thing of beauty. The US fitness made a big difference. After the red card, they seemed a team possessed. They dominated play from that point on despite being a man down. Let’s hope they have some gas in the tank for Wednesday’s game. I agree Solo played a hell of a game. The ref was terrible.
