Excellent win for the USA today. It's never easy to win in Europe and the team put together a pretty comprehensive peformance. Kudos to Abby Wambach for her 99th career goal! One more to the century mark. She's got five career goals against Sweden, but those Swedes are tough. If she doesn't get it on July 5, she'll have to more chances before the Olympics, against Brazil on July 13 and 16. Unlike the 4-0 win at the Algarve Cup, the USA scored four very nice goals, including Angela Hucles' strike from distance! An early candidate for goal of the year? We'll try to get those highlights up ASAP, but it will be a long travel day for the U.S. team tomorrow...ummm...today. The squad leaves at 5:30 a.m. (gulp!) for Oslo, will then fly to Stockholm, then take a flight to northern Sweden before hopping a bus for 1.5 hours up to Skelleftea, which is about 100 miles below the Arctic Circle. You thought it stayed light late in Fredrikstad...
