The lovely Alex Morgan celebrates her first Women's World Cup goal.
The USA is on it's way to it's third Women's World Cup final thanks to late heroics again in a 3-1 semifinal victory over France. Striker Abby Wambach once again headed home the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute off a corner kick from Lauren Cheney. Wambach's goal tied her with Michelle Akers as the all-time leading US goal scorer in WWC history.
Alex Morgan, a favorite here at The Wasteland, added her first ever WWC goal in the 82nd minute to seal the deal and catapult the Yanks in to a Sunday match-up with surprising finalist Japan. The ladies from the Land of the Rising Sun knocked off Sweden in the other semifinal 3-1, following their epic upset victory over tournament host Germany 1-0 in the quarters.
Get on that bandwagon, America! Final stop is Sunday at 2 p.m.
