Sky Blue FC Talks World Cup

Teammates of Heather O'Reilly talk about Sunday's big win and their thoughts on the World Cup.

Despite a controversial call, playing a man short, and nearly running out of time, East Brunswick's and the U.S. women's team came back in the 11th hour against Brazil to tie Sunday’s World Cup match before winning outright 5-3 in penalty kicks.

It all began when Abby Wambach took a pass from Megan Rapinoe and scored the tying goal with a header. After that came the Penalty Kicks and a spectacular play by goalie Hope Solo.

The squad will play France today (Wednesday, July 13). Coverage begins at 11:30 a.m. on ESPN.
