Lloyd, Wambach and Cheney Score As U.S. Women Win 2010 Algarve Cup With 3-2 Victory Against Germany

• USA Scores Two Goals in First Half, One in Second in Muddy Conditions
• Grings Tallies Both Goals for Germany
• Next Up for WNT are Matches vs. Mexico on March 28 in San Diego and March 31 in Sandy, Utah

FARO, Portugal (March 3, 2010) – The U.S. Women’s National Team scored twice in the first half and once in the second to defeat Germany 3-2 in the championship game of the 2010 Algarve Cup.

Carli Lloyd’s goal in the 18th minute was followed by a powerful header from Abby Wambach four minutes later, staking the U.S. to a 2-0 lead. German forward Inka Grings pulled a goal back five minutes before halftime, but a goalkeeper mistake from Germany’s Nadine Angerer allowed Lauren Cheney to make it 3-1 in the 69th. Grings finished her brace with a goal in 74th minute to make the end of the game tension-filled, but some tremendous ball-winning in the back by central defenders Amy LePeilbet and Rachel Buehler helped the U.S. hold on to the victory.

I am finding it ridiculously adorable that Cheney's go-to jump and hug person is Abby.

I really wish the tournament had been televised the pictures made it look like it would have been spectacular to watch. The highlights were janky though, like someone's mom filmed them on her flipcam.

I remember when I was forced to play rugby in PE the teacher would make us slide on the mud. I never understood the point. I hated it sfm. IDC about getting dirty but I had to walk around school looking like shit. There was hardly enough time to shower.
