SOLO FREEZES BRAZIL: I've been trying to think of something to say about yesterday's Women's World Cup quarterfinal match between the United States and Brazil other than wow and um, wow, and then it occurred to me this morning. I believe this is the first women's sports competition I can think of in which gender was irrelevant to and did not alter one's appreciation for the event. Not once did I mentally compare the quality of play to that which one might see in a men's game, not once did the match seem smaller, less physical, less intense, less anything. This was a game for the ages, and I sure hope you watched it.
Bonus: Gus Johnson calls the Wambach goal.
