Yes, I admit it. I want to be Abby Wambach when I grow up. So what if she is a decade younger than I am, six inches taller, and one of the world's top athletes? And why not? The FIFA Women's World Cup starts Sunday and I can't think of a more exciting place to be right now than in Germany watching the games. But of course, I am not there. I am in Michigan about to play in my own team's soccer tournament this weekend. And that's the beauty of it. While my team will be lucky to have 10 mildly interested fans, the women in Germany will be playing to packed stadiums and TV audiences around the world. And rightly so. So go Team USA! And go Team Centurions! We know which team is more likely to win. But I think mine will have just as much fun.
