CHENGDU, China - Playing with a sore toe and 11 stitches in her head doesn't seem to bother Abby Wambach.

The top U.S. striker scored both goals Friday in a 2-0 victory over Sweden in the women's World Cup. She now has three in two games, and the win puts the No. 1-ranked Americans in good position to make the quarterfinals.

The second goal was like a piece of masterwork art, dropped off the chest, one bounce and POW in the net!
Quite Awesome!
GO USA! :D

Darn it: Now IKEA is going to raise prices on that pressed-sawdust furniture upon which our upscale lifestyle depends.

Saw it this a.m., good strong playing from U.S, hope they perform as well Tues. More exciting game was England-Germany, and the score was nil-nil, go figure, but was a little more awake for the second game. Go USA, proud of those atheletes steady performance. Playing field is all divots, don’t buy Chinese grass seed either.

To be honest, I don’t pay much attention until the World Cup rolls around, and then good luck at getting me to do anything for a month.

I’ve never been to an IKEA, but when they show their stuff on T.V. it looks like overpriced junk to me. So you can confirm that?

But what we really want to know is, did she take her shirt off after she scored? ;)

Not to mention it was on the run and left-footed. An absolutely incredible goal.

They sell a range of things, but their strong suit is stuff that meets the following description: “Yeah, it’s kinda crappy and you have to assemble it yourself. But it’s CHEAP and will last you until you get out of college and have had a real job for awhile.”

I’m glad to have IKEA, but it ain’t Ethan Allen.

You musy be thinking about softball, except at the very highest levels.

That said, I met the 'special friend' of Brianne Scurry, the former goal keeper for the US national team at a sports bar in Portland when the US was playing there. Many of the current and former team members are married, some with children.

Chendu is a hole. Sorry the ladies had to visit that town. I do enjoy womens soccer though. Real fun to watch. Watched the UNC ladies for years and through many title winning seasons when I lived close to Chapel Hill.

Its the worlds top sport for a reason. Much better than our version of football which feature six or eight minutes of play packed into four hours. Yawn.

IKEA is cheap and pretty nice for the price.
