Question
I can't believe in a million years ESPN is ranking this 5th all-time most dramatic moment in sports. Then again, maybe I can believe it.

ESPN or a stupid ESPN survey? One of those dumb surveys also had this as a superior moment in US Soccer history to last year's Algeria game, which is pure poppycock. Women's World Cup garners like 1/50th the viewers of the real World Cup.

That being said, it was a pretty exciting moment.

Maybe they are just trying to generate ratings for the rest of the tourney.

I don't care if it was men, women or dogs playing that game, that was the most exciting goal I've ever seen live. Considering what they were up against, it's most definitely a more amazing goal than Donovan's. Poetic justice that it came during the extra time granted by Erika's completely bogus injury. These chicks kick ass.

Exciting goal/finish or not, it will be just a footnote in Women's Soccer history if they don't close the deal and win the whole thing.

Great quarterfinal games between two teams that did not win the cup are not remembered for long.

Good angle. I'm not hating on the sport or what happened, we have been glued to the tube at work watching. This is one of those "now" things, IMO.
