World Cup

I want to congratulate the US women for a wonderful run during this years world cup. They had some great matches and plays. I know they are disappointed with second place, but it is still a remarkable acheivement. I would also like to compliment them on their attitude after the match. They did not complain or make excuses. They thanked everyone who was rooting for them. They also gave credit to their opponent which is rare in today's sports world. I think they did themselves as good in that regard, as winning it all could have done. I would like to point out a double standard among many sports fans as well. The US made a magnificent comeback against Brazil. It will go down as one of the greatest in the WWC history. Many fans were calling it the greatest comeback ever. Japan had a similiar comeback against us in the final. These same fans are calling it a choke job by the US women. If it was a great comeback in one game, it has to be the same in the other. The same can be said of choking. If we choked, Brazil must have also.
