I can’t handle this truth

November 23rd, 2008 | By: Melissa | No Comments »

I haven’t even had time to process and move on from the crushing loss when we faced North Korea in the U-17 Women’s World Cup before the U-20 Women’s World Cup got into full swing down in Chile. And the US of A already made it to the quarterfinals after they destroyed Argentina [...]

We Lost

Perhaps you’ve already seen this, but below is a video of Freddy Adu and Michael Bradley playing a game of hit the crossbar in training. At least, I think it was in training.
