This is old news by now but I had to say something about it. The US women's soccer team (yes, soccer dangit) made an unbelievable comeback against Brazil.
Overcoming horrible officiating by Australian referee Jacqui Melksham (bad enough that in my opinion she should be rebuked, reviewed or something else) the US team were down a women from the 65th minute on. Not to mention the questionable call on the penalty kick and the ridiculous call on the penalty that started the whole thing.
They tied it in the latest minute ever in the history of the women's World Cup and I want to say the men's as well but I don't know that for a fact.
And then they won it on penalty kicks with Hope Solo (what an awesome name) making a save that proved the difference. What a game! I watched most of it starting from the midpoint of the first half. I love these girls. Ladies. Women. Whatever we're supposed to refer to them as. I love them.
Last minute goal saves the day
