It started slowly, before rising to a beautiful tumult and ended with a penalty shoot-out which
ended in a victory for the team of the aesthetes. And then, on top of that, the crowd had the good

other words, a series of small victories for football and the end of a tournament that has been a
credit to its host nation, Germany, and to the womens game in a more general sense.

It's now less than two weeks until the 2011 Women's World Cup starts in Germany, and over the
next couple of weeks and tonight we are taking the time to bring you a quick run-down of the teams

white and blue soccer fans. By this I mean we are supporters of the US Men's National Team and
