U.S. Women’s soccer was my choice Olympic event. I watched every moment as the team went for the gold, it was fantastic all the way there. Solid teamwork, with some great individual performances too – and it was hard work the whole way! The final game was full of incredible saves from US goalkeeper Hope Solo, as Brazil’s star striker Marta came on strong with beautiful jaw-dropping footwork. The US team seemed to have possession for most of the game, and never once slowed down, even though they fell back fast enough to triple-team Marta on most plays. Whoop!
