Little Cassius Cruz Dwyer arrived on September 10th. Talk about soccer genes! Mama is USWNT striker Sydney Leroux Dwyer, Papa is Sporting Kansas City forward Dom Dwyer and his proud godmother is USWNT GOAT Abby Wambach!

Abby Is A Real Doll

But hey, we knew that already! However, now she’s has her own Barbie doll.  Unveiled yesterday as part of Barbie’s new Shero collection, the Abby Wambach doll looks awesome.  And Abby had some great things to say during the ceremony as you can see in the video above.

The Daily Drool – Epic Bromance Month USWNT Week: Abby Wambach & Megan Rapinoe

There has been two universal constants on the USWNT: Abby Wambach is gonna score and Pinoe is going to launch herself at Abby full tilt. I wouldn’t want it any other way. I love both these women to distraction. It was so hard to see Abby play her final USWNT game last night. I felt like I was going to drown in a flood of tears.

USWNT icon Abby Wambach plays her last game in just a few hours and her teammates prepared this beautiful and emotional send off for her. And that wasn’t the only Abby related video that broke me today.

Somewhere in that mob scene, I’m dancing and cheering. I can’t pick myself out, but it’s right in front of my office so I know I’m there somewhere. What a wonderful experience to see our amazing USWNT players given so much love.  I cried and I say that with absolutely no shame.

A much better showing by the Americans in a quarter final match against China. A big shake up in the line up brought new creativity and pace to the match and had an excitement that we had yet to see in this tournament from the American women.

One Nation. One Team. 23 Stories. (Part I)

Sorry, y’all, but I’m gonna show my absolute bias for my home country and give the USWNT some major lurve. If you can’t do that on your own blog, where can you, right? Short films were made with each member of the US Women’s National Team telling their story. I’m going to feature a few each night through the start of the Women’s World Cup.
