Ally Wagner, seeing her first game time, started in the mid-field and had a great game.
Abby scored twice giving her 6 goals for the tournament, second only to Marta with 7 goals and earning her the Silver Shoe Award.

My final World Cup activity for 2007 was at the Westin Hotel where I was invited to the final and family dinner. It was a great ending, with great friends and was all of us needed for our good byes.
There are many more stories from this month than I have written, there are stories from the games and from the off field adventures. In the coming days I will include a few more in my blog as I edit photos and try to decompress.
The important stories are the girls’ stories, which will be shared with you in our upcoming book Portrait of Passion, scheduled for release on November 23, 2007. Check out www.portraitofpassion.com .
It’s time to leave China; head back to Minneapolis and get to work!

It is with more than a little sentiment that I read your last few posts, following the stories behind the scenes of the team. Well done, my friend.
This has been a great coverage, I thank you for all the memories and pictures of the team.
I wish the best of luck to this group of women, and I really HOPE that everything gets worked out amongst them.
Great thoughts and pics -- thanks
I got a snapshot view of the event and the country through your blog. Quite a gift I'd have missed otherwise. Keep me on the list for the next trip and call when you get home.
