SAY, DID YOU CATCH THAT GREAT WOMEN'S SOCCER GAME YESTERDAY?: Of course you didn't, nobody watches the WUSA. But this was a really great game, the best I've seen for pure aggressiveness in the WUSA. The Breakers constantly--constantly--overran the Freedom on simple clears and possessions and just wanted the game more. Abby Wambach--the Shaq of the WUSA--got about fifty fouls on her from a combination of players diving all around her and her just being bigger than everybody else. An amazing amount of pushing and shoving. There was this one sequence where Angela Hucles pushed past Skylar Little and that was like the last straw so Little grabbed her around the midsection, so Hucles got her in a headlock and bulldogged her into the turf. Mia Hamm had to restrain Siri Mullinix from killing the ref when time expired. The Breakers stole first place at RFK. Just a great game.
