In the matches leading up to tomorrow’s World Cup Finals versus Japan, Abby Wambach has emerged as the star player of the U.S. Women’s National Team. Wambach’s dramatic header in the last minute of America’s quarterfinals match against Brazil earned her team an ESPY Award for Best Play. “In any play in soccer there is most likely many players involved that allow the play to develop and end in a goal,” said Wambach of her award-winning move. A true team player, she just might be the Mia Hamm of her generation.
