The scoreline from today's US-Italy Peace Queen Cup semifinal could read Abby Wambach 2 - Italy 0. The US advanced to the Peace Queen Cup final by a 2-0 score with Abby scoring the 97th and 98th goals of her USWNT career.
The US will face Canada in Saturday's final.
News & Notes:
- It looks like the Tampa Bay Rowdies will be coming back as a USL 1st Division team.
- Drew Moor from FC Dallas and Chris Rolfe, Chad Barrett and John Thorrington from the Chicago Fire have been called up by Bob Bradley for Sunday's match versus Barbados.
- SBI.net has more info on the hold up of the Brian McBride to Chicago deal. Basically, Toronto FC is holding the allocation slot hostage.
- I may have to sneak out of my company picnic early today to catch the Germany-Portugal game. Here is Grant Wahl's preview at SI.com.
