In case you missed it, yesterday the US Women's soccer team won the 1999 Women's World Cup down in Pasadena. It took overtime and a PK shootout, but the US won 5-4 with good PK shooting and a save by the goalie. (Too bad the goalie didn't get any more recognition for the save.)
The really funny thing was that I watched the game in the Blackwelder TV lounge, and the Chinese fans outnumbered US fans two to one.
Anyway, I went to the semifinal game where the US played Brazil last weekend... we had 73,123 in attendance, which is about twice the crowd we get for Stanford football games. So it was a packed house and a very exciting atmosphere. Everyone was chanting U-S-A and doing the wave, etc. The US won 2-0 and Briana Scurry (the goalie) had 6 saves and got the most valuable player award for the game. Natalie was in town and came to the game also.
I have expanded my old school pictures section on my web page. It is now sorted into three groups chronologically. Check it out.
