something, oehe was there. i will tell you a quick story. i do not like soccer and i was very curmudgeonly about that at sports illustrated to the point where they put me in a mini van and sent me up and down the coast to watch soccer matches to try to turn me into a soccer fan. grant would spend hours at a time in the office, sometimes out at bars near the office educating me on the game and showing me why this was the beautiful game and this deserved more attention from grumpy american fans like me. i don t think either one of us ever turned the other towards their opinion, but i ll always remember those conversations with grant for the rest of my life. i ve known some hard headed sports journalists over the years. what an effort on grant s part to try to convert you. he was also a prominent voice for women s soccer. beyond his work as a journalist, what kind of impact do you think

higher periods of stoppage time this year. i have to say stephanie, as a soccer fan, i don t actually mind that extra time. although i do understand that if your team is in a position that you wanted to be, it might like the referee to blow the whistle. could be nerve-racking. all right, take us to what happens to us next. there went by the netherlands. which we expect? it is like voters? time didn t think they re gonna be there so anything they do in the field as a win? in a sense it is bonus time, stephanie. if you look at the fifa s international ranking. viva being the world governing body for soccer. they have the netherlands pain that number eight right now. united states is number 16. so, there is no question about it. the u.s. are the underdogs in the situation. they have the second youngest team in this entire world cup. only behind ghana. and they have exceeded expectations. happy person this thing will be really well suited for the world cup in north america. and in mexi
