A bit obsessed.

Well, I've been watching the World Cup lately and LOVE it. BUT not nearly as much as I love my Women's U.S. National team. Especially the 99 World Cup team. I might have been a little obsessed and I may or may not still be. :) I went to games, practices, have my picture with most of them and a lot of autographs. I have their uniform, I had the cereal they ate, the drinks they drank, and basically EVERY game, interview, and appearance on tape. I know random facts about each player and can recognize them anywhere.

I pulled out a few tapes today, from that glorious summer of 1999. I was just a young high school teenager, cheering specifically for Carla Overbeck (the captain and #4). While watching the games, I came across lots of my favorite commercials that I forgot all about.

Found them on you tube. Enjoy!! (At least my family will appreciate this, they had to put up with me and my out of control fandom! They did grow to love the team as much as I did though.)






This might sum up some of my feelings! Love these women! What wonderful role models. So glad they were mine!

US US USA
This is my game. This is my future. Watch me play!! :)
