Tasha scored in the 90th minute – on what sounds like an absolutely brilliant goal (assist from Rampone). This pulls out the 1-0 win for the USWNT who continue undefeated in the 2009 Algarve. Hope somebody posts video of this goal soon – it sounds like a stunner!

So how’s tricks this snowy morning? Nearly everything in Central NH looks to be closed … except work, of course. Off I go shortly.
But first a few tidbits, starting with Celine Dion. Yup, Celine. My friend Sheryl has promised to root for the Eagles if I post a video clip of Celine singing with a [...]
Have you been having trouble this week keeping track of what day it is? I’m not complaining about the Thursday Holidays, mind you – but it’s made for some serious disorientation. Nice and quiet at work, though. I’ve been digging through things I hadn’t gotten to for months, and my in-box is down to just [...]
Well, after slip-sliding down the driveway and dodging the downed trees and getting to the credit union and the bank and then to work, it turned out that we were closing. I made a few calls, got a couple of things done (whatever could be done sans network and internet connections) and headed on home [...]
Having been asleep at the switch on the soccer front for awhile, I was pleased to receive a Google Alert about the USWNT’s most recent win. This one coming in Richmond, VA, where South Korea fell to the USWNT. Vic Dorr, Jr. describes the game in the Times Dispatch. Sounds like Angela Hucles continues her [...]

This clip of Charlie Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin pretty much says it all. McCain may be channeling Bush, but Sarah is pretty much the real thing … never EVER letting her ignorance stand in the way of her swagger and bellicosity.
Here’s a bit more from the interview …
Pressed about what insights into recent Russian [...]
The USWNT, along with other US Gold Medalists, will be on Oprah today … whenever Oprah is on in your world.
I do not know whether coaches are included or not … but am guessing that, if invited, Pia would not turn down this one!

It sounds like Lindsey Dolich likes the USWNT’s chances – but is NOT taking Canada lightly (nor are we).
There were major doubts that Swede Pia Sundhage would pull the strings for a team left reeling after the loss of superlative striker Abby Wambach. But, somehow, Sundhage delicately guided a vulnerable U.S. team, inspiring what seemed [...]
The USWNT and Coach Pia Sundhage are settled in China (Qinhuangdao to be exact) training and doing a little touring, as you can see.
The WNT Blog is proving to be a very entertaining source of information for USWNT aficionados. Check it out. It’s often updated these days, as the team settles in and gets ready [...]

The Phillies and Chase Utley pulled out of their slump last night with a 4-0 win over the Oakland A’s. Kyle Kendrick pitched 8 strong innings and Utley went 4 for 5 after a long drought. Let’s hope the Phillies continue their winning ways now.

Hey – the Phillies are in first place as of last night’s win over the Giants – and Chase Utley is chasing a Hall of Fame kind of season with the best April he’s ever had – and almost the best in Phillies’ history! Now, if only Ryan Howard and a couple of pitchers could [...]

In a rain-delayed game that saw the return of Heather Mitts to the pitch … and three goals in the final 6 minutes (including stoppage time) … the USWNT defeated Australia 3-2.
