>I refereed this afternoon and one of my ARs was a woman who was tremendously excited about the outcome. A few years ago when many of the women on the U.S. team were juniors she and her husband served as chaperones while they were playing in a tournament in Chicago. She said they were delightful young ladies and surprisingly like male athletes -- self-confident to the point of cockiness, raucous, amorous. She said one of them (she said the name but I'm not going to repeat it <g>) who had a boyfriend back in California said if she didn't see him again soon she was going to burst. Terri said they were doing Indian leg wrestling on the rug.
I'm still upset that Kate Markgraf (formerly Sobrero) got married.
The U.S. has a very, very tough game coming up against Brazil in the semi-finals. Marta is probably the best player in the game, and they looked very good against Australia today.
