My favorite U.S. player, Carli Lloyd, has scored the winning goal in the last two Olympic goal medal games. How to top that? people asked. Carli answered with a hat trick in the World Cup final.
So another Olympics starts this Wednesday against New Zealand, two days before the official opening ceremony. Jonathan Tannenwald of the Inquirer has a piece about Carli and Olympic prospects in today's print edition. If you go to the Philly.com site, in addition to that story, there is an expanded version of his interview with Carli, also worth reading.
Tannenwald says the game to watch is against France on August 6 at 4 p.m. The last group match will be August 9 against Colombia. The gold medal game is August 19. Look for Carli and her teammates to be there.
