One of our forwards got headed wrong in game 1 and had to go off to get stitches and instead of subbing, he waited 11 minutes for her to return. By the time she did we were down two. It took a great opportunistic goal to equalize.
And what I'm worried about is that if we should need to change, the damage might be done already, pyschologically speaking. And to do this before the Semis, is literally unheard of in the World Cup. It's never happened. The goalie that will be playing hasn't played a game in this tourney. I just hope we can recover from this shock mentally and it doesn't cause too much disruption on the back line. OH God, I don't know if I'll be able to watch.

Yes you can. It is just a name.
Never let anything suggest it has beaten you before the fight has begun.

Not about to give in over this loss are you? (grin). There is a difference between being brave and having courage. Bravery is the act of showing courage. Courage is the ability to conquer fear or despair.
Lots of people have a moment of bravery. Courage is harder to find. It is something that is sustained and shows consistently brave behaviour.
I think you have courage.

I'm glad that you think I have courage. I think that I think I do too :)
And you're right, I've loved them when they won and I'll love them when they lose. They're my girls.
