We are stepping up to a higher level now. Actually, maybe Brazil should feel that way. The Brazilians were dragging in the second half against Nigeria and advanced only because their star, Sissi, was accurate on a free kick. I only hope we can achieve the same results as the men did. We're going to shoot for it.
Organizers hope for a sellout in the Independence Day game.
We come out into the stadium and it's just, like, our game. It's a women's event. It's just our event. I think that is so encouraging. The American women also should be encouraged by their response to their first true adversity of the tournament.
