Heavyweights USA entered the FIFA Women’s World Cup Germany 2011™ knockout stage with their eyes fixed on a third title. Standing in their way was Marta, Brazil’s inimitable No10 who was named The Best FIFA Women’s Player each of the previous five years.

The clash that ensued between the North and South Americans overflowed with too much drama for 90 minutes, spilling over into a pair of extra-time goals and, eventually, a penalty shoot-out. In the end, fearless performances from Abby Wambach and Hope Solo helped the Stars and Stripes survive.
