After coming up short in two consecutive championships, the U.S. women’s soccer team is ready for a comeback in this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Germany.

We all remember the Mia Hamm era in the 90’s when women’s soccer was dominating the media and attracting millions of fans.

That was back then… when we were actually winning game after game (including World Cups!) led by Hamm’s incredible 158 goals!  The highest score of any man or women in FIFA history.  How’s that for a kicker!

After two back to back steals by Germany in the past two Worls Cups (2003 & 2007), not to mention an embarrassing 4-0 loss to Brazil in 07′,  the U.S. team is on a mission to steal back the title and the fans.

Women’s professional soccer leagues are no where close to garnering as much attention as the men’s. Hopefully all of that will change IF we take the cup.

“If we win this thing, I think we’re gonna see some fireworks in the U.S.” says the dynamic forward, Abby Wambach.

To the astonishment of many, stadium’s are already quickly filling up by the thousands for U.S.A.’s 1st game against Korea DPR today at 11:45 am ET.

Win or lose, we are excited to see the U.S. back on the scene (of course winning would be WAY more fun).
