Or maybe it has something to do with the Mayan calendar ending...

There's also a couple retirements.

Kristine Lilly for the US, which I think you had to see coming soon. Best wishes to her and many thanks for her performances.

The really sad one is Canada's Kara Lang. She says her knees are too bad to keep going. Who knows what she could have done if she could have stayed healthy.

I'll drink a toast of Purple Haze raspberry wheat beer to Kristine Lilly, one of the most remarkable athletes in recent history. I’m glad she autographed my daughter’s hat after U.S. versus Ukraine at Merlo Field some years ago.
Purple Haze raspberry wheat beer (to follow up on a promise earlier in this post) is a rather ordinary beer best suited to warm weather. In body it is much like a lager and does not pour with much of a head. It is appropriately cloudy for a wheat beer with just a hint of raspberry on the tongue. Those who prefer a rich, strong beer should look elsewhere.
My family found Purple Haze at the Wine & Beer Haus at Seaside Factory Outlet Center.

That is too bad about Kara Lang. I think she was 16 years old when she played here in the Women's World Cup, she was a player with tremendous potential. It is indeed a shame she will not get the chance to fulfill it.
