For a bunch of mostly pretty girls, those U.S. players are tough as nails. They aren't afraid to hit someone or to take a hit (and for those who think soccer isn't a contact sport, yeah this was a very physical game). To win the gold against Brazil playing without their leading scorer and another starter due to injury was incredible. Great job to shut out the top offensive team in the world for 120 minutes, despite incredible pressure. I don't know who they gave the woman of the match to, but my vote goes to goalkeeper Hope Solo. It was a team win and the defense played great, but Solo made several outstanding saves and played nearly a perfect game. If y'all remember, it was the semifinal match against Brazil in the World Cup last year when the former coach sat Solo down and started the old goalkeeper that caused all the controversy when Solo went public calling him out after the 4-0 loss.</p>
