Now don’t get us wrong, we here at the Bleacher Creatures could give two shits about women’s soccer. But what we do give two shits about is our great nation, the United States of America. And no one can deny that yesterday’s heart-stopping, 122nd minute goal by U.S. forward Abby Wambach (pictured at left) was as patriotic a moment as you can get in sports. After being reduced to 10 (wo)men, and allowing a goal early in extra time to the best player the world, Brazil’s Marta, the U.S. were seemingly on the way to their earliest exit in Women’s World Cup history. But, conjuring up images of Landon Donovan’s dramatic injury time goal in last year’s World Cup, Wambach leveled the match with a brilliant header off a cross from Megan Rapinoe, and sent the match to penalty kicks, where the U.S. was triumphant. Certainly a moment that every American, be you a fan of women’s soccer or not, should appreciate and enjoy. (Photo Credit: Odd Andersen – AFP/Getty Images)
