Golden girls!
Wambach score in extra time nets U.S. women’s soccer team gold
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Mia Hamm and the rest of the Fab Five of women’s soccer from the United States had just enough left in their thirtysomething legs for one more title, beating Brazil 2-1 Thursday in extra time to win the Olympic gold medal in their final tournament together.
Drew and I watched the entire game and both overtimes- I literally thought I would have a heart attack, it was a freaking great game!

HERAKLIO, Greece (August 23, 2004) The U.S. Women’s National Team put in a gutsy and at times dominating performance to defeat 2003 Women’s World Cup champion Germany, winning 2-1 behind a dramatic overtime goal from 19-year-old forward Heather O’Reilly in the 99th minute after she had hit the post just five minutes earlier.
The win put the USA into the gold medal match against Brazil in Athens on Thursday, Aug. 26.
Drew and I watched the game- including both overtimes, and boy was it a good one! It brought back memories of the good ol’ days of Cy Creek High School Soccer.
I will be glued to the TV on the 26th as the Women go for the Gold in Athens :)
