most people like the men's world cup more. i have no clue why. sure guys have abs, maybe (in some scenarios) are better at sports, physically. but being a girl myself, i love watching the games and being able to relate to how they are playing, and learning from these experienced role models that i'm watching. i love the world cup tournament. i think it's fascinating, and inspiring - that teams from around the world gather in one country and play as a team. they are playing the sport they love and are so passionate about with everything they've got for the chance of winning a title and trophy.
who am i cheering for? i don't really care who wins. Germany has a good chance, but i'm liking the USA team because of some of the athletes on the team: Amy Rodriguez (my girl), Lauren Cheney, Heather Mitts, Abby Wambach, ETC. but of course, being a Canadian who couldn't cheer for their country. I mean, Christine SinClair, and Kaylyn Kyle are on the team.
Lauren Cheney is a forward on the U.S. National Team. she scored the first goal against Korea on Tuesday. and it was beautiful! even though Lauren is one of the younger players on the team, she is tough, and strong, and determined to make her coaches and team proud. she is focused on bringing her A - game everywhere so that her team will look to her a leader and role-model. this video shows how passionate and serious Lauren is about soccer. her love and passion for the sport gives her motivation and makes her determined to do everything with 110%. by the way....love her shorts..... :)
Heather Mitts is a defender on the U.S. National Team. this video kind of reminds me of me. Heather tore her ACL and had to have time off. now I only strained my hip flexor and had to take 2 weeks off, but we both agree that it sucked. Heather had to miss the World Cup - that's crazy. that's disappointing. my coach doesn't think it's a good idea to play my game on tuesday, and in shock i simply said no way i'm playing. i've been resting for 2 weeks and there's no way i'm missing a game after 3 practices. but could you imagine missing the biggest tournament in the world?! she learned a lot about herself during her time off, and learned that obstacles define who we are. i love that Heather didn't give up, and after she recovered, got right back out there and was hungrier more then ever to play the sport she loves. i also love that she speaks so highly of her teammates, and looks to them for advice and encouragement and motivation to work hard.~amy
