Mia Hamm. Brandi Chastain's black bra. And now Megan Rapinoe's goal in the 122nd minute.
I think that the US women have earned us the right to call it soccer for another few years.
Earlier on I was apoplectic because I thought Brazil's Erika faked an injury for extra time. If so then it was only deserved that the US should tie the game in that allotted injury time to take it into penalty kicks.
For those who can't stand watching women's sports I will give the highlights: 1 own goal, 1 retaken penalty kick, 1 red card, every US player connecting with her penalty kick, Hope Solo and Abby Waumbach.
Remember when Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs?
