On to the Final!
Team USA beat France, 3 - 1.
"...the heroics belonged to Abby Wambach, the star forward for Team USA, who came through in the clutch for the second straight match.
This time the four-time Soccer Athlete of the Year winner scored off a corner kick by Lauren Cheney to break a 1-1 tie that seemed to break the French team's spirits."
And then, once again, down to the penalty kicks, where Hope Solo (again) held the line.
Looking forward to Sunday's match against Japan or Sweden!
