US National Team

USMNT has been the moniker for soccer in America but that needs to change. USWNT is the true definition. The Women have won 2 World Cups and are in the Finals this year. The men, not so much. Reaching the quarter-finals in Korea in 2002 is their high water mark. Sadly they've got the choking dogs label for World Cups. The Gold Cup loss to Mexico this year did nothing to erase that. The US Women have shown nothing less than a never say die attitude and an intestinal fortitude the the men have only rarely shown. It's time for America to get fully behind the US women and realize the potential of this team and women's soccer in the US. When the USA won their 2 World Cups women's soccer was an afterthought in most of the world. Now there are a lot of really good women's national teams and if the USA can win this one it will be a truly great achievement. They aren't out there against a couple of good teams and a bunch of minnows. They are facing the best that the world can offer and they are winning.

Go USA!
