You shall know Abby Wambach by the trail of her dead.
The US played their most complete game of the tournament and lost on PKs. Having beaten Brazil and France despite trailing in possession and looking somewhat ponderous in attack, they look dynamic and in control for much of today's Cup championship.
But two dreadful defensive lapses cost them. That and their inability to finish off goals early in the game.
Congratulations to Japan's legitimate Cinderella run and easily one of the best feel-good stories of the year. The fact that it was the WOMEN'S team that gave hope and inspiration to a nation that sorely needed it is just a wonderful statement of how far we've come on issues of gender.
Still, I feel bad for the siege tower that is Abby Wambach. She deserved a Cup.
