in this photo with swift, kelley o'hara is on her right (our left) & that's alex morgan looking at the trophy with her on left (our right) . pretty sure the player next to alex is heather o'reilly.
this is a photo of alex morgan (the smiler, of course), and pretty sure that's morgan brian to her right (our left).
this one, from our left to right: morgan brian, tobin heath, amy rodriguez, lauren holiday, alex morgan. the photo after that of them from the back is pretty much the same except in the reverse order.
the uswnt also appeared on good morning america (a popular morning show. i'm sure others can explain it better, but its just news anchors reporting the news, talking about the weather and adding in pop culture news pieces too) prior to their parade and it was adorable to see some male athletes congratulate them. you can see a little snippet here if anyone is interested. but re: ellis, yeah, i'd give her 10% of the credit. it was sheer dumb luck on her part to have gotten the uswnt to the final/cup itself. you can see how when she was forced to make changes against china when rapinoe & holiday had to sit out because of their card accumulation and actually let kelley come on (who proved to be vital on the right side of the us attack). but ellis is a whole other can of worms.
but thank you for including the us women! from my perspective, it is really really appreciated.

Football is football, so np!
The USWNT were hungry for it, and outplayed their coach, and Rapinoe (that's the blonde looking tomboy pixie, right?) can thread a pass like no one's business.
The Lionesses are my team, and my heart can only break for one NT, you know? But congrats to the USWNT for doing the job and getting the Cup!

yes, that's rapinoe... she's remarkably brilliant when she's played in her proper position - actually many of them are when ellis doesn't put them in the wrong place (she's done that to carli this entire tournament, which is why everyone is losing their marbles about her performance in the final). rapinoe was the player who shot the pass to abby during the brazil match in 2011 - and she shot that long ball with her left foot... not her dominant foot and others said she had never even hit such a perfect cross in practice! tobin heath is really good too, as is christen, but ellis plays them horribly wrong.
but i love pretty much all the WNTs, but there's something special in my heart for the Lionesses because of Kelly. i really hope they do well at the next WWC - i am rooting for them & sweden to bring it next time!
