Why the U.S. Women's Soccer Team Blew the World Cup Final

Building Personal Strength

Yesterday I wrote about why Phil Mickelson blew his chance to win the British Open. The U.S. women's loss in the World Cup final game was my second huge disappointment. In her AP summary of the World Cup title game , Nancy Armour said that "the Americans lost this game as much as Japan won it." She's right about that.
