Its been a fantastic tournament this time. The France-Germany match was one of the best I have ever seen in my life (regardless of gender).

It makes me so sad that more people don't follow and support this esp us women.

I used to follow sports, but I just got turned off by all of the money that these pro athletes make. I should check this out though.

I don't watch it, but I listened to a discussion on the radio about it a while back. Apparently the games are far more sporting than the men's version, and there is no rolling over, diving, or play acting at all.

Their pay packet is also a more realistic figure, and one that does not alienate the fans.

Caution, I am feral.

We have such a small population it's hard to field a team that can compete with the more populated countries.

I watched the US take Germany 2/0 last night.

Love watching that many totally in shape girls all running around together.

And those German girls................................................

Peace!

Women can play sports at a high level; not just the guys. I have to root for the U.S. girls, but even a loss is a win because of the competition.

Auttie, I watched a film called "Dumb and Dumber". My favourite part was when Jim Carrey asked a girl what chance he would have to go out with her. She said "maybe 1 in a million." His answer was "so, you're saying that I have chance."

It was nice to see her team and the press support her.
