U.S. Women's Soccer Team Making Rounds On Network Morning Shows

The U.S. women’s national soccer team today made appearances on all three network morning shows following its run to the Finals of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. U.S. F Abby Wambach said, “The bitter part is obviously not winning and not bringing home a Cup for our country. The sweet part is the reception that we’ve gotten all across this nation. We got back here to Times Square yesterday, couldn’t believe the crowds. It was amazing and honestly, as tough as it is to lose, it’s making us all feel a little bit better just knowing how much this country supported us” (“GMA,” ABC, 7/19).

U.S. G Hope Solo said, “I think we showed America everything that they finally wanted to see in a final.” NBC’s Anne Curry added, “You should also take away from this a transcendent moment that you’ve created. … This was a victory for women’s soccer” (“Today,” NBC, 7/19). Wambach and F Lauren Cheney also appeared on CBS’ “The Early Show” this morning (THE DAILY).
