Tonight at 7pm (at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif) the U.S. Women's National Team will play in the semifinals of the Women's Gold Cup against Mexico. If they win, they go to the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup.
North Carolina still wins for sending the most women to play on the national team, with 5 UNC grads on tonight's roster (I expect they'll win the NCAA title too this year). Also notable on tonight's roster is goalkeep Briana Scurry, who hails from my own alma mater UMass-Amherst and took a year off in 2005, but is probably best known for making good on her promise to run naked through the streets of Athens if the U.S. won the 1996 Olympics. They did
so she did, 20 yards on a side street with nothing but her gold medal.
Happy Thanksgiving.
