Semi-finals
USA - France: Wednesday, 11AM Central. ESPN & ESPN3.com
If you missed the USA - Brazil match, I highly recommend you mosey on over to ESPN3.com and watch the replay. The entire fam damily was down yesterday and they were all enthralled, and most of them don't like soccer all that much.

So who wants to meet Sweden in the Finals? Let's rain down some nordic payback on those blonde swedish hussies!
Also, this may be a stupid question but is Hope Solo related to Han Solo?
This would have been my lead-in, though
isn't too shabby either.
I'm pretty sure I heard her say "I've got a bad feeling about this" back in the 2007 World Cup, right before the semi-finals against Brazil....
and Greg Ryan called her a "scruffy nerf-herder".
If you put "Hope Solo" into Google, one of the suggested searches is "Hope Solo boyfriend" It would appear she is newly single.
How could she not be single with that name?

This was pretty great.
The match was one of those happy accidents for me. Turned on the TV when I got back from church and stumbled across it. Turns out I got to see an awesome, thrilling, great game. Right up there among the best I've seen.
KC with a couple of disappointing draws (although I didn't get to see any of either), but hanging around the top half of the conference standings.
Mrs. Mak suggested we go to a game sometime at the new park, so I've got to find a good matchup to take in.
The Chicago Fire finally didn't draw!!!!!1111one11111two
They lost.
