People have asked me my thoughts on America winning the World Cup. I didn't even know America was in the running, but I never pay attention to such things. I couldn't even tell you if America makes it to the Super Bowl.
My understanding is that we were something of a dark horse in the cup, which regardless of nationality is always a little interesting.
On the women's side, the US team is never a dark horse in the World Cup. (men's is completely different) Since the Women's World Cup was established in 1991 we have won 3 times, got 3rd place 3 times, and runner-up once. Not quite a dark horse in international Women's soccer.
That game was amazing though. My favorite moment was at the second goal. First goal happens. Stadium erupts. Japan gets in their huddle to tell each other it is all right, we can come back. We go back down. Get a free kick. I tell my buddy, "I am going to film this next goal." And it happens.
