Saw this over on Barstool today and to watch this video makes me wish I was seeing what they were seeing. Did someone just throw a game winning touchdown in the super bowl? Did the Sox embarrass the Yankees again to end some other curse? Did Lebron just have a career ending ACL injury on the court on a dirty crossover from JJ Barera? Nope it was fucking Team USA in the quaterfinals of the Women's World Cup. Naturally ESPN is turning this into something its not, an epic game. It was just ranked as one of the top ten most dramatic events in sports history, ahead of Buckner in '86, Kirk Gibson shot in the series, or Latner's hoop over Kentucky to get to the Final Four. All of which are some of the most exciting things I have ever seen on replay. This honestly gets no reaction from me, this is going to be up there with the 1999 Women's World Cup victory. The same victory that apparently was so huge that soccer was going to take over America. Didn't happen, what did happen was a failed Women's Soccer League and the WNBA. I can say with 100 percent confidence no one will be talking about this in five years. I would rather watch two gay guys snuggling for 90 minutes or however long these games are than watch a single match of soccer period let alone women's soccer.
