Bigger Choke Artists: Miami Heat Or US Women's Team?

Definitely the Heat.

US Women Defeat Brazil And Enter World Cup Semifinals!

There were were too many bad calls, too much Marta. And yet, the US Women's football team proved, once again, that they were a team of destiny.

The US got an early lead when Brazil's Daiane conceded an own goal to the US. Marta then got to work, pressuring the US and scoring two goals in the second half. A spectacular last minute goal by Abby Wambach forced a penalty shoot out between the two teams and the US proved to be the steadier of the 2, netting 5 of their attempts against Brazil's three.

The US now go up against France in the semifinals.

Here is Abby Wambach's great header to tie the score.

THE GOLDEN GIRLS!

This bad.

REDEEM TEAM 2: US WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM

Last year, they lost 4-0...

...in the Women's World Cup...

...to bitter rival Brazil...

...who offended them by displays of celebration up to the team's shared hotel lobby.

This year, the two teams meet again for the the Olympic crown. The Americans are missing star striker Abby Wambach who, ironically, broke her leg in two places when a Brazilian defender crashed into her in their last Olympic warm up match (yes, it is fishy).

So many storylines abound that I'm just going to go with the top 3:

3) How will the pretty but controversial US goalkeeper Hope Solo handle this championship game?

2) Will the exciting Brazilian star, Marta, crush the US midfield?

1) Will the US women retain their Olympic crown against their World Cup tormentors? 

While we wait for the game, let's take a peek at the US women's commercial.
