Great news! On Sunday, we (by which I mean the USA Women's World Cup team) won the quarterfinal game (which is in the knockout stage, meaning that one of the teams will be eliminated) against Brazil!! It was an amazing game, with an equalizing goal that kept the US alive in the tournament in the 122nd minute, (which is in the 2nd minute of stoppage time in the 2nd period of extra time) meaning that they scored the latest goal in the history of world cups!! That kept us alive to proceed to the penalty kicks stage, which the US won by the making of all five of their kicks, and their goalkeeper saving one of Brazil's kicks, making the final score of penalty kicks 5-4, after the tied game being 2-2. The late goal was from a perfect and precise cross from Megan Rapinoe to Abby Wambach who headed into the near post's net for an amazing point. Now we're heading on Wednesday to meet France!!!
