Generation Next Garners Gold

On Thursday, the United States defeated Brazil 1-0. With their victory, America scored their second consecutive gold medal. They scored their third Olympic title. In the 2007 World Cup, Brazil obliterated America 4-0. Simply stated, Hope Solo is vindicated.

From 1986-2004, Brandi Chastain, Joy Fawcett, Julie Foudy, and Mia Hamm were the soul. They won two gold medals. One silver medal. Two World Cup championships. Three CONCACAF championships. Their excellence is the next generation‘s mission. Today, that next generation issued their mission statement.
