Fog Blog U.S. Women's Soccer Champs Log:

THE U.S. WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM ARE WORLD CHAMPS!!.....It’s a little bittersweet that so many girls turned out to cheer on the national women’s soccer team at a ticker-tape parade in Manhattan on Wednesday, wearing their favorite players’ jerseys or clutching posters of Megan Rapinoe, a top scorer in the Women’s World Cup.Those girls will run harder, wake up earlier and practice a little longer so maybe one day they too can shoot a goal with as much power and grace as Rose Lavelle. That’s because they think it’s about more than just soccer. They think America rewards excellence.And then they’ll grow up and learn that if they want to be like their heroes, they’ll have to fight every step of the way. Because for women, even world championships don’t guarantee equality. That’s why we have to keep the pressure on.
