THIS will be big. Our ladies have won the last 4 meetings 1-0 since that devastating loss to Brazil at the '07 cup. Abby Wambach should be back to normal and Heather O'Reilly's status is still up in the air.
for a slightly more in-depth story....

Wine & Cheese top Fish & Chips
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of Elderberries". Not quite verbatim, but that's basically what France was saying as they stole a win from England by beating them in a match that went to Extra Time and then on to Penalty Kicks. The Frenchies will play in their first ever Semi-final vs the winner of US/Brazil in it's quest for the Holy Grail of Soccer.
More Sushi!
Japan played the most tactical game of the tournament outlasting Germany to score in the 108th minute. Yes, another game going to Extra Time. That's 120 minutes of running....without a break for Sake! This was one of those epic battles that doesn't fill the stat sheet. Like a Muhammad Ali rope-a-dope, Japan orchestrated the chess match. Maruyama played the part of the Knight putting the Deutsch in Check, with an assist from Sawa, the Queen. Germany tried in vain in desperate chances late in Extra Time, but came up short. Check Mate.
To really give the flavor of our jaunt yesterday, I bought you a drink. Local Karl Heidrich Riesling or a dark Franziskaner weissbier. your choice. my treat. enjoy.
Kodak Moment
ya know when you set the timer on your camera for that stereotypical group shot? ...It is usually accompanied by 8 seconds of small talk and 2 seconds of a cheesy smile. Well, this was the exception. As I set the camera and positioned myself among the group, our buddy Will, in a very strong, manly voice said, " dude, hand me my Riesling." The irony made us all burst with legit laughter....just in time for the snap!
