The women's World Cup was held here not so long ago, including some early round games in Chicago. It drew very good crowds.

It was Brandi Chastain who ripped her jersey off, silly. Mia is much more the modest type. Brandi Chastain was called Hollywood by her teammates even before the incident that made Nike bras famous.
