USA Women's Soccer Team Grabs The Gold

Hamm talked about how proud she was of the younger players whose future looks so bright. "America should be proud of this team," said Hamm.

And Foudy told Wambach, "Thanks for not making the next 40 years of my life miserable."

Goalkeeper Briana Scurry, who deserves most of the credit for the win, thanked the team for helping her through the loss of her father, Ernest, who died two months ago on Father's Day. A month before he died, Ernest had told his youngest daughter that he wanted to see her on the podium with a gold medal around her neck. He did. "I felt my father's presence the whole time," she said.

2. They weren't the better team on the day

but luck smiled on them. Brazil hit the post twice in the last 15 minutes of regular time.

4. Hey

If it bounces off the pole, it wasn' accurate. I seen lots of matches where there were more kicks, but bounces off the pole. Luck or physics?!

3. Our Country's Girls do!

I'm happy they won! They are great athelets and good people too. No Prima Donnas like in men's soccer.
