The US Women's National team defeated Brazil, 1-0 in a friendly match right before heading off to Beijing for the Olympics. Natasha Kai got the lone goal on a header, and here's hoping there is plenty of that in our future.
You see, Abby Wambach [Go Gators!], our goal-scoring machine at the front, has gone down to injury. Abby broke her left leg [tibia and fibula] in a collision with Andreia Rosa of Brazil, and will be sidelined for twelve weeks or so. To aid the healing process, a titanium rod was inserted into her lower left leg. Lets hope the Nats don't get the shaft, as well :-(
As Abby herself says, she is only one woman, and championships are not built on the backs of individual players. At the World Cup, there was the 'keeper controversy, and our gals crashed and burned. Maybe this injury will weld them tighter together..... Here's hoping.
