The US Women's soccer team defeated a very good, very powerful Brazil squad 1-0 in overtime today.
We saw a number of the Brazil players - Marta, Fromiga, Tania, and others - when they were just teenagers the first time the Women's World Cup was in the U.S. They have grown up and matured and are VERY good. And they played much cleaner than they used to. Other times I've seen them they were a "dirty" team. In fact, soccer referee training uses video of blatant serious fouls by Brazil against the U.S., especially against Mia Hamm. As individuals and as a team they have matured nicely.
Congratulations to the U.S. women. Well done!
