It is time
in women’s soccer at the World Cup for a finals rematch
For the U.S.
women to a revenge victory snatch
Up against
the Japanese for all the marbles in Vancouver
Will the
Japanese the strong U.S. defense be able to out maneuver?
Or will the
U.S. continue its defensive trend
No goals
allowed hopes of teams winning brought to a crushing end?
It seems
like only yesterday at the Rose Bowl when Brandi Chastian in joy went to her
knees
Ripped off
her jersey to show her sports bra and let her victory emotions run free
Women will
never capture public acclaim in rugby or American football
But after
1999 in soccer our woman stand, run and kick tall
Today is the
birthday of one of our stars Megan Rapinoe
Another championship
as a birthday gift the gods of soccer could bestow
Better yet
for Abby Wambach who in goals in international matches is ahead
A last
chance to win the World Cup rather than second place instead
Go U.S.A. today
against Japan in the finals match
May our
defense any chance of Japanese goals close the door and latch
