When Abby Wambach uses her head, good things happen. Against Brazil, her last-minute header salvaged a tied score that led to the shootout the U.S. Women's Soccer team win.
Against France, Wambach headed a corner kick for a goal that broke a 1-1 tie and energized her teammates en route to a 3-1 win over France that sent the American women into their first World Cup final since the 1999 championship team. They face Japan, who beat Sweden in the second match of the day.
If this U.S. women's team wins a championship of its own, I'm thinking Wambach could earn some significant coin in shampoo endorsements: "This head wins world titles -- I wouldn't trust it with just any shampoo," or something like that.
Here's hoping she gets the chance!
