    Support the Woman's Sports Foundation and GoGirlsGo! That a great program. My hat is off to Billie Jean King, she is an example of "Paying it Forward" in the truest sense! Well done Billie Jean!

    You had to just love the ball Brian Ching collected and then sent to Sacha Kljestan last night in the men's victory over Sweden. And if Cooper had zigged when he zagged, getting stuffed by a GK who knew how to cut the angle and the distance: 4-2 USA!
