US women rocked it! 3-nil over Colombia. Heather O'Reilly seized the moment with a 33 yard blast. The keeper had no chance. Kinda reminded me of a Bobby Culp shot from Sept, 1984! Second Half sub Megan Rapinoe put her stamp on the game with a great hustle play, leaving 3 defenders flat footed and launching a rapid strike from the top of the box. OOoooh that was nice textbook futbol. To put a finishing touch on her goal celebration, she grabbed the fluffy effects mic at the corner and sang "Born In The USA". Due to some legal reasons, we only aired the ad-lib singing twice. I'm still waiting for a call from Springsteen.
Later, Carly LlLlLoyd (I never know how many 'L's to put in that name) launched another SCUD missile that was was too strong for Colombia's net minder to handle. Overall, a solid win that puts the US atop their group with 6 points, along with Sweden. They play each other Wed, the 6th at noon.
In the too-early-to-wake-up-get-your-coffee-read-the-paper-walk-the-dog game, Sweden's Lisa Dalhkvist scores in the 64th minute, her 5th career goal and 1st career WWC goal to beat North Korea. I'm sure Lil Kim Jong Ill is crying in his Kim Chee.
DOH! Mexico men players busted for Doping during Gold Cup.
"Five players tested positive for a relatively high concentration of clenbuterol (and) we have four others with traces of the same substance," Dvorak told Mexican broadcaster Televisa without revealing which players were concerned.

Music o da Day.
our World Cup signature tunz from David Garret. His sound is the love-child of Charlie Daniels fiddle and the rock opera of Mannheim Steamroller. Check out the Garrett-filled edits that our Team Avid is putting out, usually at the end of each broadcast. Nice work, Adam, Tara, Twe and Nick.
