Women’s Soccer: USA defeats Canada 4-3
Brandi Chastain: “This USA team has something. That is what Amy Wambach talked about; a winning attitude, a drive to win. It was incredible how they stayed within the game plan. They didn’t falter even when they went down three times. You could see it in their eyes. They believed they could do it. At the end of the game, you look to players like Abby Wambach and Alex Morgan (game-winning goal in the 122nd minute) to seal the victory and that is exactly what has happened.”
