Go USA!!!! Women's Nat'l Team Beats Brazil 1-0

Bug and I saw the U.S. Women's National Team play Brazil in a "friendly" competition this past Sunday, just a month before the team heads to China for the 2008 Olympics. Amy Rodriguez scored the only goal of the match to beat Brazil. Bug and I were on the 9th row right behind the Brazilian team. Their coach seemed very unhappy the entire match. But, with on-field temps reaching 100 degrees and considering none of these women were use to playing at 5280 feet above sea level, the players all performed very well. Abby Wambach was great to watch. She has amazing footwork and ability to be where the ball is, despite her 5'11" heighth. Here are a few pics from before the game started.
