On the strength of two goals by Abby Wambach, the USWNT defeated Italy 2-0 in what sounded (on MatchTracker) like a good effort by the US women. They will face Canada in the final.
Kick-off is on June 21 at 2PM local … that’s 1AM (ET), folks! I’ll add links to this post, as more information [...]

The U.S. Women’s National Team defeated Brazil, 1-0, on a 41st minute goal from forward Amy Rodriguez in a scrappy encounter at the 2008 Peace Queen Cup, giving the USA control of Group B and taking a major step toward a berth in the tournament’s championship game. Read on …

This is an awesome article about the new firebrand on the soccer block … Natasha Kai. After a rocky start, Pia is pleased … and when Pia’s pleased, I do believe that we all are.
(All of us, that is, with the exception of HollyCornblog, of course … who is going to have a very tough [...]
Happy Saturday! You’ll be pleased to know that HollyCornblog survived Friday the 13th and didn’t run into any guys in hockey masks!
And wow – may I just say that it appears that the Phillies’ bats have come alive? The NL-East leading Phils posted a 20-2 win in St Louis, helped along by back-to-back-to-back homers by [...]

And just so HollyCornblog doesn’t get jealous at the attention being paid to [...]
… and it’s reported on the Huffington Post that Hillary Clinton will be making a major speech tonight – one to which she’s invited major donors and supporters. If this isn’t it, it’s gotta be coming soon. It’s my hope that at this juncture, Hillary will go gracefully and the party can begin to unify.

I am so discouraged by the perversions of meaning and truth and decency promulgated by this administration that I hardly know where to begin … but here goes. The latest has to do with news of US soldiers proselytizing in Iraq. Clearly the Pentagon and DOD have learned nothing after the push to distribute “Freedom [...]
