Score Wars

  • Hope Solo: I'm captain* of the USA women's soccer team. Carli here tells me you're lookin' to bandwagon to the World Cup Finals? 
  • Every-Wan: Yes indeed, if it's a good team. 
  • Hope Solo:  Good team? You've never heard of USA women's soccer? 
  • Every-Wan:  Should I have? 
  • Hope Solo:  It's the team that won the 1999 World Cup in 5 to 4 penkicks. I've blocked Brazilian breakaway shots. Not the bulky cruising midfielders mind you, I'm talking about the big-time Canarinhas now. It's good enough for you old men. Who's the bandwagon? 
  • Every-Wan: All the sports fans. Myself, the girls, two (locked out) leagues... and no questions asked. 
  • Hope Solo:  [chuckles] What is it? Some kind of local trouble? 
  • Every-Wan:  Let's just say we'd like to avoid watching baseball.
  • *Not actually captain, but whatever.
